[Ringo1]

I don't care for either but believe the prong collar to be more humane and probably cause less long-term damage than the choke collar.

We did use a prong collar on Ringo when we were going to a trainer. I wasn't crazy about it but he did show me how it worked and that it would not cause trach damage like a choke collar.

That said - I believe my using positive reinforcement and distraction techniques on our walks - worked much better than any correction collar. I would not use it again on Ringo and certainly not on a tiny dog like a yorkie.
