In this video I demonstrate my favorite way of introducing the Prong Collar to my dog. This will be a very important tool in our training journey, so I make sure it is introduced in a way that creates motivation and trust! An appropriate age to introduce the collar is this way can greatly vary. Regardless, the bottom line should be POSITIVE ASSOCIATION with any training equipment being introduced! In my case, this pup was about 56 months old when I introduced the prong collar to him.
I am training the prong collar to ACTIVATE the dog and actually be an ON switch. This means that when the dog feels pressure from the collar, they don't think "uh oh", but rather it propels them into the asked behavior with enthusiasm! THE DOG HAVING THE ABILITY TO WORK/ THINK THROUGH PRESSURE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE TO A LARGER PUZZLE!!

This method will produce a dog who works with more enthusiasm and reliability BECAUSE of the Prong Collar training!!

DISCLAIMER: This training tool is my personal preference. I do NOT expect everybody to share the same opinion as me and that is totally fine! I have many trainer friends who are all positive and I respect them and their methods very much. Not everyone needs to use this collar to achieve training results!
