    After watching several of your videos and doing research on the Herm Sprenger prong collar I finally purchased one a couple of months ago, and it’s been such a great tool in modifying my dog’s behavior. We still have a lot to work on, but the effectiveness of the HS is undeniable, and our walks have gone from a little bit frustrating to enjoyable!

      A little bit frustrating?
      A dog’s walk is it’s time to explore, I think it can be slightly inconvenient for you. Behavior can be changed/corrected/fixed without using a prong collar.

You clearly don’t know how to comprehend what I meant in my original comment either.
      Also I wore the Herm Sprenger collar when I purchased it to see how it felt; you assuming it pinches just proves your ignorance. It’s an effective tool for correcting behavior.

      @@AveragePicker a walk should not be frustrating for the dog or the owner. Yes, it is often time for dogs to decompress, sniff around, etc. They can do that without pulling, without barking at people and dogs, etc. Also, you're clearly misinformed about prong collars. They do not pinch, they apply SLIGHT pressure if used correctly. Ive put one on my own neck and yanked far harder than I would when correcting my dog, and felt no pain.

      Dog’s we’re once specifically bred for certain tasks. Some dogs we’re bred as shepherd dog’s, guard dog’s and working dogs. While certain other breeds we’re bred to fight bulls and dogs. Only the most vicious specimen we’re used to bred further. Over centuries. In the last 100 years people started to breed this bull attackers and dog attackers as companion dog’s. Do you think there dna 🧬 and biology will just puff away? The instinct to bite and not to let go is deeply ingrained in this dog’s. They have a unusual high pain threshold and on top of all that they are strong and fast. Who in his right mind want such a dog? I never will forget the case of the two pit bulls who mauled a mom and a baby she was babysitting at home. They we’re family dogs, raised with love and respect, well taken care of. But from one second to the
      Other they transformed in to killing machines.

      @@Grim_Azrael I agree completely with you... That's why I'm a huge advocate for people getting dog's that ACTUALLY fit their lifestyle & household. The avg person has absolutely NO reason to own a high drive working breed. A pitbull, Rottweiler, Malinois, Doberman & big dog's like presa or Corso, don't belong with "pet owners".. they belong with owners who completely understand the breed, their genetics/traits and have an actual purpose for them. I have pitbulls myself that come from old fighting bloodlines. A couple can never be around other dogs but, they were also bred to be 100% non aggressive towards humans so I'm not worried about them ever biting me or attacking someone else.. they make great coyote dog's though ! And that gives them a way to release their energy & put their instincts to use in a good way.

    I have been attacked and kicked out of social groups for using a prong collar to control my 110 pound dog (to scale, I have twenty pounds on him). Watching these videos has done wonders to remind me why they work so well and not to waste time being upset at ignorance. His behavior changed 100% when we began using the prong collar to get his attention and redirect his energy. He barely ever needs it now, and we only keep it as an "emergency brake" in public spaces in case he bolts after something. Cheers!!

    Thank you so much for educating people on the prong collar. I use one with my dog and get tons of terrible comments from people when we walk in highly populated areas. But, I don't care because my dog is extremely well behaved and their dog is usually barking and pulling like crazy. As long as the prong is used properly, it can make for a happier dog that you are able have a healthy relationship with.

    • @jessicacoleman6873
      @jessicacoleman6873 3 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      @@meinhund...undmehr6014 I only use the prong for walks. Even then, she is great without the prong around the neighborhood. I have walked her off-lead for 40 minute walks without any breaks from the heel. In high-distraction areas, I put the prong on her. When she wears it, she knows how she is to behave. Every now and again, I have to give her a little pop and remind her to heel. But, usually tapping my left thigh is enough to get her to focus again. So, I would say that our relationship is the same with and without the prong. But, the prong was the tool that I used to have a healthy relationship in the first place. It is rather funny. I have a harness for when I let my dog run around just to have fun. When using that, she is on a 30 foot lead. I only put it on when we are going to parks and areas near a road that I need that extra security/lifeline with. When I go to put the harness on my dog, she runs away. When I bring out the prong, she comes right up to me and excitedly waits for me to put it on.

      Same , I just started using a prong collar and it works miracles. I got so much hate saying that I was abusive towards my dog by using it but, in all truth it saves dogs life. My dog was a rescue and he is fearful of men. He will go on a full rampage and doesn't realize what he is doing. This collar saved he life because people wanted me to put him down because he seemed aggressive.

Little room and then the Vet just dived in no petting or hi dude nothing. Bud jump up and hug the tech in mid air and was caught she didn't know anything about a prong collar lost him. I just pulled him down tapped at his lips till shots were done. But really 5 minutes of loving on him and all would have been good. He is a big 107lbs baby. He is just scared we need more work and new places instead of just home 24 7.hard right now. Our fault but they could helped some.

    All of these vids with the prong collar give me hope for my dog Koa. She is a shelter dog that was surrendered 4 times between Sept '21 and Jan of '22. The shelter said that she is leash aggressive with dogs and strangers. I have had her for a little less than a month and she has responded well to the limited training I have been able to do with the gentle leader that allows me to walk her without too much issue. I know that she is smart enough to train, it just comes to me understanding the best method for training her. I promised her that she will not be going back to the shelter and will keep that promise.

    Loved this- I swear by the Herm Sprenger Prongs but I get judged for it by ignorant people who think they know best. I would never ever harm my babies so for people to think using a prong is abuse is insulting. I’ve always had big pitties/bullies that weigh close to me and the prong was the only way to communicate how to walk- they would overpower me on a harness, choke themselves out with a collar. Never once have I felt that a prong was endangering my babies. Thank you for bringing awareness and educating, it means so much!

    Love the video. I am a firm believer that it is not the tool that is the problem, but people who misuse or don’t understand the tool that is the problem. I have two intact male giant schnauzers and when we go to the dog park I use the e-collar. What so many people don’t understand is that a quality e-collar will have vibrate settings as well. At the dog park my boys can run freely and when I need their attention I hit the vibration button and they stop what they are doing and look for me. It is like a cell phone...oops dad is calling where is he at. Once we make the eye contact I call them over and they bolt toward me, we leash up and head home. I see the prong collars the same. They are simply a tool and as always it is either ignorant or evil people who misuse or abuse the tool.
    Great video!

      Budge, 3 y/o amstaff that I rescued in July. He was used for fighting but is super sweet with people. He has been approached by other dogs and has pulled on the leash but never barked or shown aggression at all...except when I brought him to my sister’s house and her lab growled at him through a fence and he came unglued! It made me sad because I want to be able to take him with me everywhere and now I am a little afraid. Although my sister’s lab does have a history of aggression but when she just growled Budge would have taken her out if that fence hadn’t been there, I’m convinced. 😥

    And you still have people out there who say that prong collars are digging sharp metal spikes into dogs necks and their response to them is only fear and anxiety. This shows that the dog was originally that way, and changed after the prong collar was introduced. Most of the folks who are screaming against them also don't understand how dogs' minds work; they imagine that dogs are just like humans and since 'I wouldn't want that on my neck' it's somehow cruel to put it on a dogs neck. Very good video as always Tom!

      100% agree - a good reference is that electrical collar training session video with a young Doberman - the husband freaked out about the collar, but then after Tom educated the couple, they realized there was a big misconception and essentially any training tool could be harmful if not used properly.

    Last year COVID took my uncle and I took his beloved Annie. She and I have always been close, so she is well and happy, but SUPER insecure. It translates to food and toys, as well. I want to work with her on confidence in handling. Will she also possibly be less clingy and protective of food/toys/my attention? I'll look into the HS, but not sure she needs it. She's decently behaved in public and attentive already, but nervous and insecure all the time. Thanks for everything you do for each family and dog you've worked with.
