Can the prong collar be left on during the day and night or must it be removed after every time using it?

Full Question:
Just to say I purchased a Prong Collar from Leerburg a time ago, but I waited a bit for the pup to get a bit of age on him before using it, now he is just 9 months old.

It is a great collar and keeps the pup steady and controlled with no stress to him of pulling back like I did on a chain collar.

One question I read your article on fitting it must be 20 times, and I see it is fairly in a firm position, The pup did not like it being put on, I suppose my lack of expertise in putting it on may have pulled it a bit.

Can this collar be left on the pup during the day and night or must it be removed after every time using it?

Also thanks for the Brilliant Quality Leather Collars and Leashes I bought and for the most informative DVDs.

Last of all the Forum which we learn so much, at times with a little bit of misunderstanding, but it is the best forum on the Web for GS's.

Steve,



Thanks for the kind words.

We don’t recommend leaving the collar on 24/7.

There is nothing wrong with using MARKERS and a food treat to put the collar on. In fact put it on –Mark it – reward it – then take it off. Then do it again until you desensitize the collar going on. Do this 8 or 9 times a day.
