I read that to use the DD collar you lift rather than jerk. However, if you jerk on the prong collar wouldn't that be jerking on the DD collar as well?

Full Question:
Thank you for all the great information on your site. My question is about the prong collar and DD collar use. The prong collar takes a harder correction than the DD collar but it is recommended to have the leash hooked to both in case the prong collar comes off. I read that to use the DD collar you lift rather than jerk. However, if you jerk on the prong collar wouldn't that be jerking on the DD collar as well?

Thanks,

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
If you have the prong collar fitted correctly, the prong should engage on the dog’s neck with very little leash movement and the dominant dog collar won’t be put into play.

If you are concerned about that I’d recommend a larger size dominant dog collar for use as a back up.
