PRONG COLLARS ARE THE LITERALLY THE SAFEST COLLARS AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO TRAINING AND REINFORCING LEASH WORK!!!!

You can see the prong collar is not hurting this sweet girl in any way. I have ordered leashes, (flat) collars, and multiple harnesses. My dog is still crazy. I am ordering a prong collar TODAY! Its time to get my 80lb GSD under control. FOR ZEUS!

Your training style is equivalent to that of a smart parent teaching other misinformed parents (or sometimes bad ones) how to parent. I think it's superb and not well-understood among many trainers out there - which is why I binge watch many of your videos. I often will learn something new on each video. As you clearly teach, it's about relationship and discipline. I've seen some comments improperly define these two words: -Relationship doesn't mean you give your dog 100% freedom so they love you more, rather it means to have the dog trust and have confidence in you so they'll respect you (the parent). But before you get that, you have to have discipline... -Discipline doesn't mean you have to physically or emotionally abuse your dog to get them to do what you want, you just have to set small and minor consequences for their actions so they know the rules. Failure to tell them the rules is not fair to the dog. But, just as importantly, you've gotta have postive reinforcement. That's when the "you can have your cake and eat it too" comes into play. In almost every training session, I see the rules being clearly "explained" to the dog (the discipline and positive reinforcement) and then, almost naturally, the relationship follows. Once these are thoroughly trained, you can start removing the consequential tools because you've developed that relationship you teach about. Clearly genius work here sir...out of ALL the dog training videos (really people training :) ) yours are my go-to and will be the channel I recommend to friends and family.

2:46 >> From a treat dependent service dog mom here, THE STRUGGLE IS REAL! So excited to start with our Dogtra to expand and clarify our communication. TREATS are not the answer, they are a great tool for foundational building! Otherwise you get a dog who is "prompt dependent" this can also happen when owners give commands over and over and over until by the 6th time they sit. Thanks again!! On to the next video! -Stay Real, Stay Safe!

Best 17 1/2 minutes I’ve ever spent on KZfaq ! I adopted a 1 year old Pit/great Dane from growing up in the shelter. Who knows what this poor guy has been through? He is super intelligent and wants to learn. Harness and “Scooby snacks “ just aren’t enough. Now that I have been educated on the correct way to use a prong collar, I have no doubt that he will learn as quickly as this dog has. Thanks so much for your vids. Your casual, straight forward, matter of fact style of explaining things is the best I’ve heard. Having a dog look up to you with such love and respect is one of the best feelings available. You are helping people achieve this with their animals. What a gift ! So many people have never had a real , close relationship with their dog. People need to put down their phone and enjoy their walk/bonding session/adventure with their friend. All too soon that friend may be gone ... and it will be too late. Dogs rock !

I usually remind my clients that our main objective, is to HELP the dog to RELAX. I think this is also the case with this dog. Beautiful animal BTW.

Love these style videos as I’m just starting to use a herm sprenger collar on my new to me rescue dog...and this information is helping immensely! Thank you so much Tom keep up the amazing work!

Use Herm prong collars, beware of fake Chinese copies, pay the price or pay the price. Even you can train your dog quickly, efficiently, safely. Also use a back up collar with safety chain connection between herm and regular collar just in case you pop a link.. no one ever seems to mention that...

You're such an amazing trainer, thank you for sharing!)

Thanks again for the informative video. I have an aggressive Chow I am rehabilitating. The prong will be my next tool!

Thank you so much for this video!

Loved watching the bond be built. Only wish I could get through to my clients like you do. (That slip lead had me cringing)

Amazing! Makes me cry. I will do this with my dog. Thank you, Tom!

What a sweet, happy little dog💜

Amazing Video🔥🔥

It amazes me, the results you get so quickly. I'm currently in a dog obedience class, we use food as a reward with a clicker, and I am not allowed to bring a prong collar. My dog is an American Bulldog, 5 years old, strains at the end of the leash to the point where I think she's going to injure herself, and yet they will not let me use a prong collar. I'm as frustrated as the dog, probably more so.

I think I need to try prong collar for my dog, she is sweet dog inside the house but outside the house is another story ..lol

I have a 1yr old female unfixed pitbull. Wish I had bought the prong collar at 6months. She is a joy to walk with the collar, I love it. Now to figure out how to get her to calm down in the house.

Brilliant

but seriously where were you in my life four years ago? Thanks so much for these videos.

I am very impressed with this video as I know the reputation that pit's have. We have a shepherd 2 yrs old and he rules my partner!! The time for a prong collar has arrived for all our benefits!!

I need some help on how to control my dogs VERY HIGH prey drive...thank you

Very informative, thank you.

You are amazing

Hi Thomas, The video is too great! Could you please add the link for the leash you use in this video?

how do you get them so calm before implementing no pressure on the leash?

hey, you’re great! what do you think about plastic prong collars? are they good too?

Love what you do. But when i read pulling issues, i then think no ones seen how my Amstaff pulls 😣😂

What size links are you using? My pits about the same size, and I have 225links but feel like they might be too small for him, but not sure whether j should go up a size , or whether it'll make any difference

I have a aggressive pitt towards others and I would like to know what type of prong to get him. Please? How long do you use the prong? Would I use it everytime I go outside with him? Because that's when he's most aggressive. Ty

This is my dog's doppelganger. Exactly same type of behavior.

I have a year old pitbull, I was wondering if you had a video to help me teach him to stop jumping on people!

Can you use a prong collar on a older dog

Thanks for wonderful video, prong collar really helped me controlling my 2 years old Lab. He is good on prong collar and pulls when I use regular collars. So how long should I be using prong collars? Is this meant for only training or can I use it for long term? Please help, thanks

What’s the earliest age you can use a prong collar to start training?

why a herm springer prong collar vs any other prong collar and does one with rubber caps on the tips work as well as one without the rubber caps

Absolutely love this. I purchased HS 3.0 but feel like it's not fitted properly. With certain number of prongs it seems to tight with one more prong it seems to loose. Any suggestions.?

hard to tell in the video when you say micro prong are you referring to one smaller than a 2.25? I know leerburg sells an actually micro prong. thanks

This is exactly my issue with my young rescue pitbull. He's 65lbs, 2 years old and his neck right behind his ears is 17" what size prong should I get?

I am trying to train a red nose pit,9 months. This is my next move what size do you suggest and brand. My first dog and he such a good dog just excited.

Is there a wrong way to put a collar? Like is there a right way to put it on or it just goes in like that?

From what age (in months) can i start using a prong collar. Is it ok to use for a beagle

There are a lot of e-collars out there. What one do you recommend?

So do you continue using the prong collar everyday or only when training? How do you know when to stop using the prong collar if at all?

Is the owner check out?

Can you post a link to the collar you're working with? I've been using a prong collar but it doesn't fit as these do so would like to try yours!

In Australia I believe you cannot use a prong collar on a dog (even it will help keep that dog alive) but you can keep a female pig in a small cage for 115 days. Is the World just a little bit fucked up ?

Just ordered one for my 135lb mastiff puppy. Certain days he's perfect no pulling other days he pulls constantly. Scared of tall bushes, Trash cans, tow trucks. Starts pulling to get away. Wont stay to the side of the road, wants to walk in the middle

Hey does someone know the size for a full grow doberman?

I need to learn how this translates to a reactive, lunging, pulling adult dog.

Prong collars are banned selling in NEW ZEALAND where I am. I need this collar

I wouldn't of thought this training was posible, call me sceptic but I thought it was some kind of joke, put on a dog that pulls like mad next minute doing all what is asked of it. So there is only one way to prove it tryi it yourself, my dog was a little like this pitbull but mine is a German Shepherd, he isn't aggressive in fact very lovely and 80% of the walk is good until he sniffs the ground and wants to stay, sees another dog not every dog but some he goes crazy some he as no interest and then finally he decides he wants to play when crossing the road. I have tried Harnesess, Halties, chokers even the trat and praise to no avail, I don't blame the dog when I first got him I started training him and it was going real well until I started to walk with another person with German Shepherds, his German shepherds ran up to people and bassically did what they like so mine followed, after some trouble in a park I decided I would go solo with my Dog but could never get back to the co-oporation I got at first, he is not aggressive and is lovely so didn't want to gwt to tough training. My two previous dogs where properly trained but by old school and I didn't want to do that, as old school does effect the trust and love of the dog and trainer, so after all had failed like I said sceptic about the prong collar but worth a try. I used it the first time yesterday 4th August 2021 and what a response fantastic had none of the prvious troubles, the difficult part was when he saw another dog but nothing like before so yes certainly works now we can progress with our training and hopefull trust him off a lead to play ball, after all getting a dog isn't about us its about our dog. So yes would recommend a prong collar tried him later on without it a little better but still a little way to go. But I am sure soon we will be able to walk without the prome collar as its certainly got his attention. Mike

My pit girl pulled just as hard on the prong collar, hurting herself. Works for some but not for all.

I wish everyone that has a pulse could watch this video. Not only is it informative but it shows how sweet and loving pits really are. They are and have been my favorite breed for well over 13 years. They're beautiful, fun, loving, smart, very easy to train. Sure, there are some bad ones. It there are bad ones in every breed. In all honesty I am more scared of a Chihuahua that I am a pack of pit bulls Chihuahua will bite you without even thinking about it for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I do not like those littles bastards 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂🤫🤫

When she started kissing you 🥺

This fella needs to learn how to pronounce larynx haha!

I'm striving to see how the collar is having any kind of influence whereas it's a completely different environment and an educated person holding the leash. It's not the collar folks. You just don't know how to work your animals.... ;)

No no, having your cake and eating it too, in this situation, would be not having to use a prong collar or any correction ever and not having issues with your dog.

I don't like you guys using prong collars

Prong collars in the UK are banned ..enough said
