All I really am wanting to know is does anyone see the prong collar as a detriment for a dog like this, and how should I proceed with the PRONG COLLAR training. Should I just use it as I normally would on any other dog and ignore his specific issue, or are there certain preparations I should make before I use it? That's really my question here.
Try this:
If you leave the c & l on him while he's in the house and just let him drag it around he will step on it some and drag the leash around corners and such and create a little pressure on his own without any pressure from your presence. When he is comfortable with the flat c & l then you could try the prong. I would be sure to put it on and take it off of him several times a day at random times and then let him drag the leash again before you take him out for walks with it on him.
I don't think he will totally spaz out the first time you put it on him. Watch him (but don't hover/obsess over him) and see how he does, then act accordingly.
Thanks Debs. I will try that. Ordered the prong collar a couple of days ago, but I live in NZ, so it will probably be at least a couple of weeks before I can try anything.
Um, is that a snake on your laptop? Is that, like, the new 'mouse'?...lol.
