Dr Andy Whitehurst Webboard User Reg: 04-24-2002 Posts: 78 Loc: Offline	Hi, I've been thinking of buying a prong collar from Ed. In the mean time, does anyone think it'd be effective if I made one myself using a regular leather collar with holes in it and a few bolts and nuts (not nails, screws or anything sharp) sticking inwards through them?

With what you are describing you would not get even pressure with the correction. Plus the leather may allow the "prongs" to turn side ways. If you can't be a Good Example,then You'll just have to Serve as a Horrible Warning. Catherine Aird.

They have a choke chain type of set up where the leather collar gets smaller with the correction and loosens up when the correction is over. I wouldn't make one myself. Why re-invent the wheel? Plus everything should be stainless. You may wind up with Frankenshepherd if you use bolts. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
