Raymond C. Gegner Jr Webboard User Reg: 04-06-2004 Posts: 20 Loc: Offline	I have a 13 week old puppy shepherd. He pulls the whole time I walk him. At 13 weeks is that too early for a prong. I do about turns with him which does work some. But then he goes back to pulling. Thanks Ray Raymond C. Gegner Jr

If you must use compultion at that tender age, keep a loose lead and give small SNAPS of the lead for correction. But again I believe at that age you should be using motivation and not the collar to teach. Ron flyfsh77

I would wait awhile on the prong collar. I think Ron's post said it best! Ohno Von Kaykohl Land & Troll Vom Kraftwerk.

Keep doing your about turns, also do lots of circles, talk to him, change direction, run backwards, have a treat ready and do sudden stops and tell him to "watch me" when he looks into your face give him the treat. Puppies have short attention spans, so you will have to keep doing these things often.
