Prong Training Collar
what does anyone think of the prong training collar?
my dog is always excited and hyper and constantly pulls when on the lead. i have tried everything i know and i was told about the prong training collar. i looked it up and it has 5 * reviews. it looks horrible and mean but apparently its really good. does anyone have one or had one then please tell me is it worth it? i have a GSD.
Hopefully this story will put you off using one. A trainer friend of mine knows a guy who owned a German Shepherd. When he got to about a year old he became so strong on the lead (because they hasn't been bothered to train him) around other dogs that they resorted to a prong collar. He wasn't aggressive towards other dogs up until this point but he would try and pull towards them much to the owner's annoyance. So they put the prong collar on him and every time he saw a dog the spikes stuck in his flesh. This carried on for a few weeks, every time a dog appeared the dog would experience huge amounts of pain caused by him pulling on the prong collar. What the dog was sadly learning was every time a dog was in view, huge amounts of pain were inflicted. Dogs learn by association so he ended up hating other dogs and fearing their presence. He wasn't learning to walk nicely on the lead he was learning to fear other dogs. One day the dog pushed passed the owner on the doorstep and killed the nearest dog!!!
This is a true story and happened a few months ago. Totally avoidable if he had bothered to train the dog and also unavoidable if he'd used a head halti or similar which is humane. Prong collars are ILLEGAL in the U.K for a reason. They are barbaric. Please reconsider. Choke chains are no better for a dog that pulls excessively on the lead. It strangles the dog. Research has shown that most dogs who wear a choke chain have either neck pain, spinal damage and/or nerve damage. They actually have the potential to do more damage than prong collars.
There is no excuse to use either with all the training aids available and all the training advice available too. I couldn't bring myself to put one of these horrific things on my dog, it's an animal and deserves to be treated like one. I see dogs nearly every week that have damaged necks/windpipes from some rubbish the owners bought on the internet.
