I have two unrelated questions. Should I remove the rubber tips that came on the prong collar or leave them on. I have seen them both ways.
Also, at what age does a GSD reach it's full growth?
Robert, Diva is 8 months old. As you may have read in some of my previous post, Diva is the GSD that has had 2 surgeries due to severe hip dysplasa. She is recovering well from her last TPO. I have not been able to do any real training with her, due to recovering from the the JPS surgery at 14 weeks old and then this last TPO surgery. She just hasn't had a normal puppy life and is in the house with me all the time. I have alot of catching up to do since she hasn't been able to train for physical reasons. I watch her weight very carefully as directed my her vet. In reference to her size I was refering to bone structure and overall size and at what age will she complete her full growth.
I have used the prong colar some on her when walking only before her recent surgery. She does very well on it and does not seem to mind wearing it. By removing the rubber tips on the prongs, it seems like they would really hurt her. Should I leave them on and see if she gets enough correction as is? Thank you for your input.
If you are useing the prong with the covered tips and you have control with the prong ,then leave them on ,if you want more control remove them , you can put the prong on the dead ring and it works like a collar ,but it's not as hard on the dog ,but they know its there .Peter
