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!

[@AveragePicker]

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.

[@Partyelmarty]

@@AveragePicker you don’t know my dog nor myself so you should probably withhold your assumptions and judgements instead of making yourself look like a pretentious ass.

[@AveragePicker]

@@Partyelmarty I didn’t assume anything. I went by your description, “a little bit frustrating.” It is also entirely possible to correct a behavior without resorting to pinching a dog’s neck at a slight pull. You wouldn’t want to wear one would you?

[@Partyelmarty]

@@AveragePicker ah it makes sense; you’re one of those people who assumes one way of correcting behavior works for every dog; well you’re wrong. Like I said you don’t know my dog nor me so stop with the assumptions because you don’t know what steps I have or have not taken with her training. 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.

[@jordanadams6712]

@@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.

[@Lion_Hamza]

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.

[@mikefrost5481]

@@Lion_Hamza 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.

[@veronicajean9995]

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!!

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

I use the Herm Sprenger and you're right, it LITERALLY changed so many of my dog's issues that he had from being a rescue with zero manners or knowledge. I've had to explain to so many people that it isn't hurting him and here's why, but I'm always glad to educate them to the benefits of it!

[@jessicacoleman6873]

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.

[@meinhund...undmehr6014]

When your dog is extremely well behaved: Why do you need to use a prong collar? What would happen if you don't use it? Is she unhappy then? Or will your healthy relationship disappear?

[@jessicacoleman6873]

@@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.

[@makaylalowe5640]

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.

[@AveragePicker]

If a slight pull pinched your neck you’d act differently too. Doesn’t make it a good thing. It’s sort of like saying my kids are happier since I put rocks in their shoes and they don’t want to run around now. So easy!

[@deestrange2192]

I understand Bud big GSD hates the vet so we used the prong and a soft muzzle last time. sat for 30 minutes in the lobby with other dogs and people and nothing he just sat there. 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.

[@amydearing9866]

OMG! The dog was literally sitting on his lap. So cute.

[@CQuick30]

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.

[@meeks1201]

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!

you never felt? Maybe put the collar on yourself and see how you feel about it now

[@roblynch7234]

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!

[@melissahope4133]

We had the exact same experience with my one and a half year-old rescue pitbull. He was completely unmanageable until we got a prong collar and now he walks slack leash and takes treats on walks!

[@jesse6327]

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!

[@shalix333]

For training it can be a great tool. You just shouldn´t use it constantly and a lot of people do it because it´s convenient.

[@HaizyXO]

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.

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. 😥

[@jesstrainsdogs1659]

if you watch Tom has ahold of the leash and Gypsy walks away from him and hides with her owner. Male owner proceeds to pet her rewarding her for her fear. I cringed because the owners are reinforcing her to be fearful.

Keriel, I hear you. I’ve only seen the bad side with people actually choking the sweet dog out. I’m terrified of them because the furbabies don’t deserve to be treated like that ever for any reason.

What a beautiful dog. Another great video Tom. We get this kind of misunderstanding in the horse world all the time about tools - bits, headcollars, spurs. You name it. Tools are as (in)effective as the person using them and "mild" tools (let's say, a flat collar or even a harness in the dog world, an ordinary jointed snaffle in the horse world) can do way more damage in crap hands than prong collars and shank bits in experienced and forgiving hands. It's not WHAT you use so much as HOW you use it. Learn to close your hands slowly and open them quickly - pressure and release is such a powerful teacher

Hey, I use the Home Depot canvas tool holder for treats too! So much more affordable than a treat waist bag.

How can you have an ''American'' ''Staffordshire'' Terrier when Staffordshire is in England?

[@MultiChillidog]

@@dylvasey the British-England breed is known as "Staffordshire Bull Terrier" hundred(s) years ago when the "Bull and Terrier" dog as it was known back then, was brought to America from England, this dog then was crossed bred with some local/American dogs and it eventually evolved into a separate breed which is known as the American Staffordshire Terrier. Given this name by the AKC (American Kennel Club) as it is believed it's original ancestors came from the Staffordshire region in England. The American Staffordshire Terrier is the 83rd most popular purebred breed in America (as of 2017 according to AKC). Ironically the UKC does not recognize the American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) but recognizes the American Pit Bull Terrier, where AKC does not recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier as a breed. Please correct me anyone if I am wrong, with any of this, do not claim to be an expert, just trying to answer Dylan's question

[@dylvasey]

@@MultiChillidog Interesting. I had no idea they are classed as a separate breed.

[@beckygair2272]

dylan vasey it’s called an AmStaff
