Such a tragic loss! It's a reminder to us all not to do something with our dogs that doesn't feel right to us.
I remember taking obedience classes 13 years ago when the instructor wanted me to use a prong collar and forceful training techniques. It felt wrong, but they were the instructor and I started out following their advice. It wasn't until YorkieTalkers set me straight that I switched to positive, reward-based training -- and never regretted it.
