Actually, I agree with you.

I would change your wording a little though. How about this: "It would be foolish and dangerous to take a large breed untrained dog out into public without using a method to control him." Choke or prong collars aren't mandatory. Gentle leaders and no-pull harnesses are equally effective.

The question I have, though, is why take a large, untrained dog out into public in the first place? Why not train the dog? It can be done, you know. And, it can be done using positive methods.
