You do not use a prong collar to get a ...Oh please! You do not use a prong collar to get a dog to sit. You use it when a dog is so strong that it could pull a weaker person down or get away when you are walking. If a prong collar means that a weaker or elderly person can now socialize their strong or overly excited dog, and get to go for walks, instead of being ostracized in the backyard, why are you putting this down? As far as your son is concerned? Can he put a regular collar on and pull you with all his strength down the street? God, I hope not! A dogs neck is different than a persons and if you do not know this you should not be putting a collar on your son! I have a degree in animal behavior and have trained over 20,000 dogs in group classes, private training and kennel training in my 40 years. A person cannot grab an antelope and bring them down with their teeth and strength of their neck muscles. Am I not right? The very fact that you align human necks and dog necks as the same says a lot about your understanding of the canis lupus body structure and means. Please do not speak out about what you do not understand! It only creates anxiety for those poor people who want to take their dogs for a walk safely!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588837453470508741noreply@blogger.com
