One of the most important things I've found in using a prong, or any other kind of collar is to condition your dog to the new collar before you correct with it. This means putting in on and taking it off several times a day for about a month. Sometimes put it on for her walk and sometimes not, but never any correction until after a month. Don't even hook the leash up to it. You don't want your dog to think anything of this new collar and become collar smart. This is all explained in the basic obedience DVD.

This worked great for my dog. I got the prong, conditioned for about a month, put the collar on for real, and after about another month of light corrections every now and then, I switched back his regular flat buckle leather collar and he walks great now. I still put the prong on him every once in a while just to keep him used to it in case I need to use it again for some reason.

You need to sit back in your garden, sip a whiskey, smoke a cigar and THINK about your dog training.
