Brad Jimeson Webboard User Reg: 02-02-2006 Posts: 20 Loc: OKC Offline	Hello Everyone, With my pup maturing each and every day, I figure it is about the time to purchase the Basic OB and a prong collar. Does anyone have a preference on what type of prong to use? The quick release looks very simple, but will it last as well as the others or are the traditional collars a little better. Thanks....

I've never used one though so I could be wrong. My current prong collar is a petsmart bought prong collar, I plan on "upgrading" to the Stainless Steel Herm Sprenger prong that Leerburg sells. I've never used one but I hear nothing but good things about those. I would choose SS over Chrome Plated any day.

The larger size prong had less of an effect on her. She would pretty much just ignore a correction with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> MY DOGS...MY RULES
