Thoughts on Prong Collars? August 8, 2022 11:03 PM

I have a 6 month old puppy and recently started using a prong collar upon the reccomdation of a trainer.

The prong collar was reccomended because my dog struggles with loose leash walking without it. I have tried using a gentle leader and he HATES it. I can't even get it on him without a second person holding him. I have even tried using a slip lead and he will pull until he chokes himself.

The trainer taught me how to properly use the prong collar with gentle pressure and my dog is honestly well behaved with it. I have never jerked or popped it and never will. When he wears it he listens and we are able to communicate with eachother.

I only use the prong collar when we go on walks outside or do a training session in a store. He is in a flat collar everywhere else; the house, the yard, etc.

Despite this, I am kind of worried with all the mixed reviews of prong collars. Am I abusing my dog by using it? Is there a different method I should be using instead?

If it works, it works. If you are deliberately hurting him, that's abuse. That's at least my thoughts on any tools that may have a negative view. (Ex: spurrs, crops, pronged collard, ect...)
Just ignore the hate you get. You know what works for him.

Training tools arent abuse. It needs to be properly fitted however, and that's where most people screw up. What kind of puppy? Do you have a pic of the prong on the dog's neck?

Prong collars get a bad rep. I used prong collars in the past to help correct bad leash manners with one of my huskies. If you are using a proper prong collar and using it correctly, it does no harm to the dog and isn't abusive in anyway. However, if using a cheap one or not using it correctly, it can injure your dog. They are excellent training aids otherwise and I've had great success with them to the point where I no longer need to use one :)

I have a goldendoodle (controversial, I know). Not sure if this is the best photo since he has curly hair, (and was being a pill) but here you go. He is kind of inbetween sizes right now so I went up a little rather than having it be too tight.

Seems to be where it is supposed to be based on that photo, prongs shouldnt be overly long unless he has a lot of hair. It should also sit high and tight under his throat when he's being walked too

What the others have said, if its fitted properly and used properly its ok. Not sure if it works for Goldendoodles but I teach my huskies to walk nicely by turning them in a tight circle (use your body to turn them in a circle, knee to their shoulder) when they pull. They learn very quickly :)
Your dog looks super cute!

When I pet sit a friend's dogs I have to use these collars on their dogs. As long as they are used correctly and not being used to punish the dog in anyway I see no issue with them.
