My obedience school wanted me to use a prong collar, and after discussing it with YTers I refused. I used a leather collar, and he did just fine. In retrospect, I would have used a harness instead. Yorkie necks are nothing to fool with.

I think a lot of obedience school instructors lack experience with small dogs and treat them just like they would big dogs. And not enough schools are versed in positive training techniques that use no corrections.
