When my lab sees birds he runs off and will not come back. I think prong collars are not humane. What can I do?
Full Question:
I have a 2 year old black lab mix that chases any thing that moves and will take off and not come back until he is ready. I do not want to use a prong collar. I think it is cruel. He doesn't pay attention when he sees a bird or anything else. HE listens to come when leashed but when unleashed he doesn't. What can I do. 
Ed's Answer:
You can find him a new home where his next owner will have some common sense. With a little luck the new owner will obedience train this dog and realize that humane training with a prong collar or an e-collar is better for the dog than getting killed by a car or attacked by a pit bull.
You sound like you have a very nice dog. I hope he makes it.
