Behind my dogs ears approximately one thumb width is a bony prominence. Should the collar go between the rear of the ear or behind it?
Full Question:
Sir,I am preparing to order a prong collar and have a fitting question.
Behind my dogs ears approximately one thumb width is a bony prominence (I think its the wings of Atlas). Should the collar go between the rear of the ear and this bony section or behind it, farther down the neck?
Thanks,
John
Cindy's Answer:
The collar goes right up under the jaw and follows that line around the neck- never had a dog with the wings of Atlas so I would be guessing. Bottom line is if the prong is snug enough it will stay in place and wont matter.
Keep in mind you should be using a dominant dog collar along with a prong. They do come apart and they will come apart when you need them the most.
To be honest I find myself using my dominant dog collar more than the prong on my dog, too often the prongs over stimulate a dog and make them hectic. Where as the dominant dog collar takes the drive out of the dog and doesn’t make them hectic at all.
