Coastal Pet Titan Easy-On Dog Prong Training Collar with Buckle – Durable Metal Training Collar for Dogs with Side Release Buckle – Black, 3 mm x 18″

This prong collar works great on my stubborn pittie. I had recently bought one of the same style at Petsmart, but that one continuously came apart whenever my stubborn girl decided to lunge for a rodent or bird — luckily this one from Titan, the Coastal Pet Easy-On brand, has not failed me yet! The point of this collar is that it removes the pressure point from the front of the neck (right at the windpipe where flat collars can do damage with strong pullers!) – the prong collar distributes the pressure around the entire neck, removing the single pressure point that they naturally push against with flat collars. This is a very effective training tool when used correctly (a slight tug and verbal correction to stop unwanted behavior). The worst thing you can do wiht this tool is get in a tug of war with your pet — it becomes useless at that point. When your pup misbehaves you need to correct them and not continue on your walk until the dog stops the unwanted behavior…when the pup calms down and submits, then you reward them by continuing the walk and praising them – sounds pretty simple, but I know how challenging it can be! This collar is just one of many tools to try with your pup – it doesn’t work for everyone, but is definitely worth a try. I’ve known lots of people that it has worked magic for because the instant their pup feels the dig of the prongs, their pup never pulls again! Others, the pup could care less about the prongs. It is very important to get the appropriate size for your pup – mine are 45-50 lbs, so the medium collar is great for them – the smaller collar the prongs would be too small and could possibly puncture their skin, the larger collars would not distribute the pressure evenly enough.
