I suppose my shock at hearing of the Pronged Collar approach was just as profound as others here, HOW STUPID ! Sadie, please tell that lady how
many here think she's out of her mind ! I liked concretegurl's BOLD statements !

IMO:
I don't choke them,
I don't shock them with anything, buried or around their necks,
I don't jab my fingers into their throats,
I don't use a Collar for anything other than Tag Display,
I don't "set them up" to cause themselves pain, by prongs or other,
I don't train them to respond to "clicks"... MY voice only !
I don't confine them in small spaces, they're Dogs, not a pair of Sox.

AND, I don't think you're totallly wrong, just because we may not agree
on a point or two. (except for that crazy Lady mentioned first)
There are two "basic" methods/approaches to training...
Authoritarian and Nurturing, I happen to prefer the latter.
