This is a prong collar

It has spikes on the INSIDE and when you pull on it the spikes extend and stab into the neck of the dog. I can't believe that you use one (yorkieK9trainer) on yorkies. I can't believe that you would use one on ANY dog other than a large breed with serious behavior problems that require drastic measures.
Oh and I would find a trainer that specializes in small breeds, that sounds like a horrible experience for the dog (and you). If they're scared to death they're not going to learn much.
