When is OK to start using a prong collar to control pulling on leash? I have a 6 month old that is coming along very well with her training other than the fact that she pulls on leash like crazy. I'm interseted in using one only for self correction at this point. What size do I buy? She weighs 40 lbs at the moment and seems to be growing by the day.
OK. So I guess I should expand on that. Hardness by definition is the level necessary for and ability to bounce back from a correction. This is in most cases a hereditary trait passed down. The hardness of a dog’s temperament usually increases with age. How you determine where your dog falls into this scale is by trial and error. Gradually increasing until the optimal level is determined. Now that said. I always try motivational steps to overcome any problems before switching to compulsion. With the leash every time my puppy stays in a close approximation to me I feed him a piece of hotdog. After a while he realizes that I better stay close to him because at any moment I could get some food. In two weeks of this my current dog at 11 weeks of age will not for any distraction wonder past the invisible line I created. As soon as he approaches he looks up to me and runs towards me. Hope this helps.
