And I will re-iterate prong collars are NEVER for Yorkies or for that matter any toy breed.
Most folks don't know how to use them, including what passes for sales reps in pet stores! Heck most don't know how to fit a harness correctly - nor a life jacket
For those large breed owners on here, you want to use a prong collar, my advice is go to a working dog trainer and learn how to use them correctly!
They need to be fitted correctly on the neck, and the correction is a quick snap not a bloody pull back. And most owners need to learn this - also the most effective correction depends upon your timing - just as your dog is about to *go* for it - you correct, with words and action! You are not entering into a tug of war with your dog. I walked Magic for almost 2years double collared, one flat collar on lead, one prong collar on training handle. The prong is only used for training sessions and that includes walks. You remove it in the house, you remove all collars when you crate your dog!
