Prong Collars—The Ultimate In Leash Communication With Your Dog

from Off Leash And Unfiltered: The Truth In Dog Training · host Kati Peppe

Send us Fan MailProng collars get an undeserved bad rap—mainly because they look scary. Sometimes they are even referred to as spike collars and there are misleading and false photos out there showing grotesque wounds on dogs' necks, but they aren't designed to work by poking, pricking, or God forbid, injuring your dog.They are designed to amplify the sensation of pressure, evenly all the way around the neck instead of concentrating it on the trachea and reduce interference with breathing or tracheal irritation. Prong collars don't choke dogs as they are raised off the surface area of the neck by the prongs, themselves. They are typically pretty blunt and don't feel sharp and don't put holes in your dog like the internet would like you to believe. We always describe it as putting a little microphone on your leash to improve your leash communication. But you do need to know how to use it. The collar won't do the work for you in most cases.  But what we have seen over and over and over again, is how underrated this tool is and how many people have no idea what they are missing out on. You can drastically change your walk and your relationship with the purchase of a collar and a few tweaks to how you handle your leash. It can be life altering!I know it sounds dramatic, but we see it every day. Here are the links to selecting, sizing, fitting, and using the prong collar!Fit and put on a prong collar:https://youtu.be/wIJt4UFWVgI?si=6BewXAMdTos8pZrOIntroducing the prong collar to your dog: https://youtu.be/QBhvD6kLQQM?si=jIGvIZ5n3-iDLPQ_EXTREME puller—combining ecollar with prong: https://youtu.be/BL4WbdK_Sgc?si=x-MeNWZjmI1OR1ViSupport the showLove the show?
