I don't post on here that often, but I agree with foxontherun613. I use a prong collar on my big dog because nothing else worked with her. 4 years of obedience training with many different trainers and she still pulled like a maniac on her leash. Finally one of my trainers suggested the prong collar and I said no way because it looked cruel. I had heard about that study that said choke chains were less humane than prongs, but still the appearance of them scared me. But, she convinced me to take one walk with it on. What did I have to lose? So, I took ONE walk with it on and the same dog who had dragged me down the street 5 minutes ago was now a perfect angel and not pulling one bit. I was amazed. I even put it on my forearm and it doesn't hurt! It's uncomfortable but it doesn't hurt. It works I would use it on big dogs but with little dogs I wouldn't. I use a harness with Rika. I disagree with StewiesMom though. There are things big dogs can handle that little dogs can not. Every dog is different and needs to be treated differently. Regardless of size no two dogs should be treated the same.
