​@Hahah878 ahh, so it teaches the dog not to pull at your but rather to obey..............

[@BabakHamedani]

My government keeps pulling and control you on the ground unless it's right up on the throat. Unfortunately this very hard to keep it up there and while he starts moving around the prongs start coming down and he gets more strength to pull. Best way I found was to stop every time you pulls and after a while it doesn't do it anymore.

They aren’t sharp on the skin but they do still cause compression of nerves and damage vertebrae and can even cause muscle tears. It won’t always hurt the dog at the time but can cause long term damage

[@Lexi_loo82]

⁠​⁠@@apexiv6919yes this is my exact thought I have working in animal medicine and am now a dog trainer and I have seen collapsed tracheas or just trachea sensitivity caused by using different tools like prong collars, chock chains and even martingale collars. Yes I have seen a case where a prong color left puncture wounds on a dog. It could be from user error by the owner pulling WAY to hard on these collars or the dog is absolutely determined to pull no matter what pressure is around their neck. That’s not to say that these tools don’t work for correcting pulling. But you HAVE to have an educated owner and a dog that responds to the corrections. My own dog continued to pull soo hard when I tried using a martingale to train her and it started to cause trachea sensitivity the second I noticed I switched her back to the easy walk I was using. With positive reinforcement I was able to get her to stop pulling. Obviously the easy walk and positive reinforcement training isn’t going to work for every dog but I always start with less and add more if I have to. Prong collars and chock chains are my last resort not the first thing I put on a dog thats been pulling.

[@BlusBox]

He is trying to say that the balloon wouldn’t be pulled as hard as you would pull on a dogs neck when you want the dog to stop whereas he looks like he’s just bouncing the balloon with little to no effort because the balloon doesn’t way anything compared to a dog

[@ohhshiii4518]

My pit/Mastiff mix is around 75-80, he bent a pronged collar in about three days. Does his job good but damn. Scary stuff.

[@nickcarncross6137]

And a dog that refuses to stop pulling to the point of choking themselves and coughing on a normal collar can also damage their necks. Like he says, that collar is on the balloon snugger than it is on a dog. Incorrectly using any tool can cause injury, be it construction workers or people with their dogs. Doesn't make the tool bad. ​@@apexiv6919

[@LittleLulu86]

Guys, he’s addressing the specific issue that some people believe prong collars will actually poke a hole in your dogs neck, like being stabbed, causing a puncture to the skin, bleeding, etc. I’ve come across many people who have this belief because they think “oh sharp and spiky” when that’s not the case. He’s using the balloon to show it won’t puncture skin, even though there’s many “sharp spikes” as people believe. When you have a large dog on this type of collar you literally only apply as much force as he’s using here. It really doesn’t take much when used properly. A prong collar is supposed to be used with a quick light snap, not consistent pressure and pulling. However, even with a basic flat nylon collar or harness, when used incorrectly it can cause harm. Could’ve been executed a little better but there are people who genuinely believe prong collars are basically collars with knives choking and cutting into the dog.

[@Yayoka-kona]

I do have a question for ya though, just curious, not trying to be rude, what about the *dog* pulling it, yes I understand how you explained it but if you have a big dog and they pull what about that? He just bounced it around a little and didn't show how a dog would pull on it, especially a big dog. And I've gotten pinched and scratched by one of those collars, plus if you were the dog imagine having that collar on and pulling, it would hurt. That's why they stop pulling. Because it hurts. My mom trained our red nosed pit and didn't even need one of those collars

[@mathmanchris666]

@@Yayoka-konait’s gonna hurt unless the dog stops pulling. You can train them without prong collar, but it will take 10 times longer which is why people like to use the prong collar method. Some people like myself have a dog with a lot of prey drive which makes it hard to do it the snowflake way. I’m not afraid of my dog being in temporary discomfort to learn how to walk on loose leash.

[@lunasummer9375]

Maybe a balloon filled with water would have been a bit better of a comparison? Then at least it would have some weight

[@Hitoshuratdn]

Dogs, cats and similar mammals have a certain muscle (piniculus carnosis) that allows their skin to be far more loose and maneuverable, so a prong collar is really unlikely to hurt them. These muscles are also why when dogs or cats play fight, they don't really rip each other to shreds.

[@greygartm4330]

Yeah but when it comes to strong big heavy dogs tugging repeatedly on a collar with prongs poking into it's neck It can cause *severe* inflammation in the skin and in the muscle It can make dog cough, it can collapse the windpipe and even injure tbe thyroid glands In more unlikely cases it can also cause injuries of the cervical spine Simply don't put prongs on a collar and, who wouldve guessed, these arent as likely to happen

I think a cantaloupe or a melon of some sort would be a more appropriate comparison

Honeydew so you can see the holes. Or just do a water balloon, it'll pop.

[@nickcarncross6137]

​@Cyndakaiser melon wouldn't be a good idea, lacks the hair and tough skin dogs necks have. Melons are so soft that they probably would have holes in them. The last two "snaps" of the balloon are how I correct my dog, same effort. It works, and my dog is safer for it. Not risking throat, larynx, or nerve damage because he is pulling so hard he's choking himself. Needed the prong collar to punish the self injury in order to calm him down enough to train him how to walk properly and actually use reinforcers for good leash walking.

[@dragonicdragon3460]

No it wouldnt. Unless you hold the thing down with the force equivalent to what the dog puts on it, the tests mean nothing.

​​​@@TomRolfsonthis simply isn't true. To say this you would have to know for a fact the dog is associating the discomfort of the prong collar with the act of pulling itself. Research tells us it's actually unlikely for the dog to make this assumption, at least quickly. Dogs are far more likely to make a visual assumption. The dog may think that whatever it was looking at and thus pulling towards is the thing that caused the discomfort. This is where we get prong collars actually potentially worsening aggression This isn't to say prong collars do not have their uses. However it's not likely to work the first time they pull and you should include other methods of communication too.

Now this, this is stupid. Bro couldn’t make himself look dumber if he tried. Man leaves a popped balloon on the ground right behind him and then acts like that balloon simulates anything but a balloon gingerly placed in a prong collar. Grab both ends of that balloon and give it a 60+lb of force pull against it, we can then test how sturdy that balloon is. The problem with prong collars is most people who use them, use them wrong. They’re also completely unnecessary and not worth the risk because some dogs have no sense of self preservation and will hurt themselves on the prongs regardless of how well the handler knows how to use the collar because dogs that have a prong collar on, have them on because they pull with a good amount of force. A good trainer won’t need one, a lazy trainer will want one because they don’t have to try as hard.

But she was a bad leash puller so I struggled.. UNTIL, my parents neighbors who owned/own German Shepherds, told me about the prong collar. Worked wonders and I was able to go EVERYWHERE with her. Sometimes we would even go in the woods behind the house and run wild 😅 I still use them today. Had to buy a new one when I got a puppy off my parents neighbors that have the German Shepherds.. it’s saved my BUTT because my GSD is a BAD puller without it on. When I put the vest on (so he can pull me on runs) he goes WILD. 6 yo and still going strong as ever!😊

That "WHAT THA HAIL?!?!" has me rolling lmfao.

[@DPrior-gk6pd]

The balloo weighs fuck all, the dog has muscle and strength to pull thus making the prongs dig in. They wouldn't work if they didn't hurt. They may not poke holes in them, but it doesn't mean it won't cause them pain. Your argument is flawed on soooooo many counts.

[@Kacenhamilton540]

Awww I'm sorry maybe you should get rid of you chiwawa and get a male cane Corso goodluck.

[@TaraAndFriends]

Right? Absolutely it is. This is a dumb demonstration. It's like coating paper in wax and saying "paper does float and is actually waterproof. You were misinformed."

[@LoveyBicki]

I don’t believe pronged collars are cruel but I also don’t think a balloon that provides no counter weight shows how a pronged collar isn’t harmful…

[@hisham77]

Exactly. He’s only providing the other side with a great counter

[@TaraAndFriends]

Right. A balloon is one sorry, awful way to prove nothing about this. They're literally banned in so many countries.

I’d say prong collars are fine in the right hands however some people misuse them

[@blueflare3848]

Agreed. Prong collars shouldn’t harm the dog, but they have the potential to be harmful if someone misuses them. Though that doesn’t mean the tool is inherently abusive.

[@rosiemarriott7988]

@@blueflare3848 👍

[@TaraAndFriends]

They always cause pain. They can cause more serious injuries with long-term use or excessive pulling. They're also not the most effective tactic, try positive reinforcement based training instead. Also----- what does using a prong collar right even mean? You're pulling your dog- or your dog lunges forward- and then that's when something happens. They can't be safe, and they ALWAYS cause pain.

[@rosiemarriott7988]

@@TaraAndFriends they can be safe because once a dog realises that lunging forward with a prong collar on hurts and eventually they will stop lunging so no your absolutely wrong on many levels why don’t you visit this mans website and actually take a look and learn how prong collars are used properly and prong collars are a positive was of training as long as you use them correctly

[@houndhippie8042]

​@@rosiemarriott7988 positive reinforcement training is just more effective 🤷🏽‍♀️ not saying anything about a prong collar but I wouldn't use it I have more luck with a harness and more control over the dogs body. Although I have seen some very hard dogs be leashed trained really fast with a prong collar. I think its really up to the owner ya know.

People need to get educated on these, I will say some dogs won't do well with them. But most will, but the owner needs to learn how to use it properly

[@n-0-1]

I use prong collars on all of my dogs. They learn very quickly not to pull while walking which means that they practically never feel any pain after the first day.

You aren't allowed to use logic like that! 😖 STOP THAT IMMEDIATELY!

[@Tomeccho]

@@atorbubble It mimics a mother dog holding her pup by the neck when it acts out. Even pressure that sends a message but doesn't do damage. If you don't know, ask. Don't assume or presume. Learn to employ critical thinking instead of engaging in knee-jerk emotional reactionism.

[@thatassholemattmurray]

@@Tomeccho that is what someone says who has never worn one. If you need to use pain to "control" your dog you must not be that good of an owner.

That's like tapping a balloon with a slightly dull knife and claiming that proves the knife could never cut someone 😂

[@herballskink9851]

Bro missed his physics classes

[@crmcbrideww]

I’m all for prong collars but this is a pretty lame demonstration. There’s no weight in the balloon obviously so it doesn’t cause the collar to tighten up. Try it water balloon and watch it pop.

[@TaraAndFriends]

Prong collars can cause the trachea to collapse, choking, torn flesh, broken bones, and even death. It is always painful. They are banned in many countries because they are not long-term effective nor are they humane. When you use this, you are fighting fire with fire, and making the behavioral situation way way worse.

[@charanak.c4862]

Dogs are not air filled balloons. You should fill the balloon with water and then do the same experiment for better results

[@sofo.132]

Bro doesn’t know the conservation of momentum

[@jimdandy3823]

nah, extract the spikes like it would in real world application

[@Yungheifer]

as a vet tech; prong collars can be useful and very helpful. but you can cause damage with incorrect use. using a balloon doesnt really demonstrate people "hanging" their large breed dog and the weight associated with that. All training tools should be used as such, and we should all strive to learn how to use them correctly along with their pros and cons

[@Yungheifer]

you can also cause damage with a COLLAR. It's all about being an educated owner and getting a dog that is right for your skill level.

[@kbeldobbellodob2896]

It s true that prong collar without proper train will cause damage to neck but this apply to all tools....you name it: normal collar, martingale collar, any type of collar, even for harness. I saw, most people who use harness create crazy dogs to control. Get a proper training if want a dog

horrible example. dogs weigh infinitely more than a fucking balloon

[@Pluto-22]

Exactly what I thought

[@gamingwhilebroken2355]

Not to mention the already popped ballon beside him

[@Mazzeltoph]

Sure, because your 40kg large dog weighs exactly as much as an inflated balloon. You must keep in mind that prong collars are almost exclusively used by owners of dogs that are either badly trained or just starting training. These dogs (which are almost exclusively large) have the common trait that because of their untrained minds they have the tendency to pull a lot, putting almost all the weight of their bodies on their leashes. This is what will cause the injuries. Sure, some small percentage of dogs are automatically taught to stop pulling due to the prongs, but especially with badly trained dogs they tend to ignore pain untill the damage is way more severe, thus cutting and stabbing the necks of the animals. Prongs are a crutch of owners who are not willing to put in the time, money and effort required to be a responsible owner. Bouncing around a fucking balloon in a prong collar proves nothing. I can drive my car into a balloon at 60mph and the balloon is fine. Still shouldn't hit your kid with your car at 60mph.
