Does the prong collar have to be used for the rest of the dog's life, or can he graduate to a flat collar?
Full Question:
Hi Ed,First I want to say thanks for your videos, web page, and all of your products. Everything I have from you is top notch.
I'm training my dog using a prong collar because of your video (Basic Dog Obedience) and your articles. I use the collar on our walks and during any training sessions. Here's my question (I hope it's not a dumb one): Is the ultimate goal to "graduate" to a flat collar after the dog listens, or is the prong collar intended to be used for the rest of the dog's life. My question mostly pertains to our walks.
Thanks very much,
Craig
Ed's Answer:
One of the things I need to add to the Obedience DVD is the value of the dominant dog collar. Some dogs get a little hectic with the prong – those dogs need the work with the dominant dog collar. You can read about how to use this on my web site. Once a dog understands what those collars can do – they RESPECT THEM and only need to have the slack taken up a very little.
Hope that answers your question.
