Thank you to everyone who let me share in their experiences with walking 3 large, powerful dogs safely. I am very sorry that the subject has provoked such strong feelings, but perhaps that is only because we all care so deeply for our breed and only wish to do the best by them. I think the solutio

Hi Sue, Yes there is a correct way to put on the prong collar. Petsmart now sell a new version with a link chain that is easier to put on than the original style which requires you to unhook a link and then fasten that into place once around the dog's neck. You should use the bigger heavier version

Is there a proper way to put on a prong collar? I agree they are power steering. With two 95 pound dogs, I have been pulled off my feet, lucky I did not break something, just a bruised face. The dogs show great respect when I get them out in situations where absolute obedience is essential such

Hi, My experience is I prefer take a walk with each dog instead of having trobles with 2 or 3 walked in the same time. It is also always necessary for dogs to go for a walk on their own - not always with company of other dogs. They behave differently and need time for themselves. No special collar

Hi Liz, You may not like my suggestion but try prong collars on the two loonies:-) Walk them individually when first using them and keep the leash loose, if they bounce off the leash they are going to correct themselves and the one time I needed absolute control my boy felt the collar once and neve
