Somewhere I saw a link to a study that showed neck damage caused by head collars aka: haltis, gentle leaders, etc Anybody have that link. Also looking for Ed`s article on fitting a prong properly. Thanks
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!!
I haven't the slighest idea about the neck damage link but I'll ask about it at work tommorow, here's the link to proper prong collar fitting http://www.leerburg.com/fit-prong.htm
Head halters are great on big livestock like horses and cows. But that's because they are stronger and taller than us. One pull the wrong way on a dogs head and that upward force could slip some discs I'm sure. We are never above horses/cattle to give an upward pull that could possibly hurt their neck too. Talk about some serious whiplash. Ouch. If you're debating between a prong or a head collar, go with the prong - much safer and more effective.

I`ve been using a prong for years. I just got into a debate over it and needed some ammo to back my position.You know when you get debating with the only positive crowd and they have a lunging dog that they can`t stop yet resist a prong but go for a head collar.
Robert I checked around work today and nobody knew of a link nor a study showing that. The 2 people that did use a halti said it didn't work worth a dern. I'm sticking to my prong.
