I know the collar is to fit snug behind the ears but to get the collar so it stays up there, it seems like the collar is too tight on her. What are your thoughts?

Afternoon,

I have purchased 3 of your DVDs and am very pleased with them. Question I have is the proper fit of the prong collar. I have a 16 month old 90 lb spaded female Shepherd and have been working with her since I got her at 2 months old. My question is that I know the collar is to fit snug behind the ears but to get the collar so it stays up there, it seems like the collar is to tight on her. Its like I can't place my fingers under it. I have the large collar so would that be the proper fit. When we walk her front legs are past my legs. Is that considered walking out to far out in front of me. She just doesn't seem to want to stay right next to me. I have also the E-collar and have tried that but she seems to walk fine for a little and then like she has lost her concentration on what she's suppose to do. Also I had taken her to an obedience class when she was about 5-6 months old and used the prong collar and the instructor had us positioning the collar with the rings on the back of the dogs head. I see that you have the rings positioned on the side of the dogs neck. If that's correct, and I walk my dog on the right side of me, I should then have the rings on the left side of her neck?

One other thing is that my neighbor guy has her brother, and she gets so excited when ever she gets near the guy whether its with his dog or alone, that she urinates. Is this because she's being submissive to him? She doesn't do that around other people.

Thank you for your time.

Cheryl
