It's behavioural conditioning, not a proper form of training and learning pattern for the dog. Negative reinforcement is not healthy for anyone or any animal, when you give them a positive association with entirely non violent methods like a clicker or whistle, instead of thinking "shock bad" they think "whistle/clicker is good, I want more of this!", without ever using force or threat on the animal and helping it see what is decent behaviour within the home.

It doesn't actually contribute to anything besides the design being painful for a lot of dogs, even if you have a tougher dog- proper training goes a long way, there's no positive use for it. Any dog can be trained out of aggressive pulling if given the time and patience, and if your dog is violent for whatever reason and you're using a prong collar to make it stop itself, it just means you're a bad owner.

[@striveforbetterhereandnow]

Actually, scientists say dogs have the mentality of a 2 1/2 year old; so even younger than you've stated. Now, here's where you're misinformed- prong collars and electric collars are to be used as cues and as a form of communication. People that use these tools "CORRECTLY" are trying to protect their dogs and save their lives. The corrections are done minimally and last a second. They also work immediately as opposed to a year of positive only training- if at all. Most importantly, the "Gentle Leader Leash" that Victoria is using in this video did more damage to my dog's neck than the prong collar ever would when my dog (that I rescued) became highly dog reactive. That leash works for leash pulling only. My dog was a leash puller as well which is why I purchased that specific leash. Now, both problems have been corrected. Yes, there are many poor pet parents in the world. However, this world has even more bad people parents.

Her new scent set every dog to bark. I pulled gently on the leash, said "ignore" and gave her a treat when she did not bark in front of the next house. Ever since that day, she has barked an average of once a month, when the dog next door looses his cool and goes apoplectic: she goes out and barks 4 times which he understands to mean "shut up".

I work at a pet store, and have for almost 8 years now, and I have NEVER seen any prong/choke/shock/e collar used "correctly". The owners are almost always angry and frustrated with their dogs, yanking on them or yelling at them and not even praising or rewarding when the dog finally does what they want it to do. Just the other day there was a guy in with his dog, who had on a shock/e collar but the guy had forgotten the remote. The dog was sniffing things and not listening to its owner, and the guy was just muttering at the dog about how if he had the remote he would be "lighting him up", which honestly just disgusted me. if these training tools are going to exist and be used by pet owners, then there needs to be some way to keep the awful/ignorant people from getting them. I don't agree with them at all, honestly. I'm with Victoria on this one - i think they all belong in the trash :T i also love how balanced trainers always try to say that purely positive reinforcement training "doesn't work" on aggressive/reactive dogs.

bruce peterson a shock collar is the same as an e collar. They both are used similar when used correctly. A shock collar is the same uncomfortableness as leash pressure. It’s an uncomfortable feeling used temporarily. It is no different than when Victoria turn the dog around for pulling, you introduce an adverse feeling and pressure to the dog for incorrectly acting. It doesn’t ruin the communication or relationship with your dog and ecollars can be used at long distanced, same as using a long lead to apply pressure.

[@avivamae5171]

@@RiceKurry I get what you're saying but shock collars refer to the older style that used to actually give the dog a nasty shock. E collars can vibrate or give a mild stimulation that causes the muscle to contract the same as a tens device used in physical therapy or like the Medtronic nerve stimulator that I had surgically implanted. There is a massive difference between a shock and a muscle contractions, one hurts and the other doesn't, I have my device implanted with the electrodes sitting right on my nerve so I feel it a lot stronger than dogs would, and even when my device is turned up high where it isn't a pleasant feeling it still doesn't hurt or feel anything remotely near a shock. The reason I point out the difference between the old fashioned shock collar and the modern e collar is because so many people don't know there is a difference and it causes lots of hate towards e collar and people who use them. Sure there are probably some old fashioned shock collars out there but they are definitely a rarity and are very different from a decent, modern e collar. I personally don't use an e collar on my current dog because I didn't know the truth until somewhat recently and because my dog was incredibly easy to train and naturally focused but I understand that not everyone has such an easy dog like I do and so I want them to understand all of the tools and not be scared away because they have been misinformed like I used to be.

[@kawachholtz]

@SobaInu Prong collars are not sharp and are designed to evenly distribute pressure across the entire neck. Actually the way they're designed allows you to use much less pressure on your dog than you would need to with a regular flat collar. They're much safer than some other training tools people commonly use and cause no lasting damage to the animal when used appropriately. If it is hurting the dog it is being used wrong.

[@demon_doll]

@SobaInu In the wild, a wolf's pack leader will correct the other wolves by biting. A prong collar that is fitted properly (at the top of the neck sitting right underneath the chin, not on the trachea, and not too tight nor too loose) will deliver a small "bite like" pressure on the dog's neck, when doing a correction. Causing no pain, only a bit of pressure. A correction should not last more than just a second. Most people I see using prong collars aren't using them properly, which yes can cause harm! Only people that know what they're doing should use them. I cringe when seeing poorly fitted prongs. Remember, research is key! Dogs are not humans. They are animals who came from wild animals who go 100% off of instinct. Although dogs may need us to feed them, groom them, teach them, and care for them otherwise, they will always be animals! And when they are treated as such, they will always be their happiest! :)

Training tools aren’t bad as long as the person has done research and uses them correctly.

[@ettinakitten5047]

Any training tool that causes pain is bad. There is no correct use for them.

[@paytoncrockett1283]

@@ettinakitten5047 well I guess you shouldn’t use any collar or harness then because incorrect use of any of those can cause pain and medical problems.

@@isaT but they are though lmao, they aren’t shock collars they’re e collars, it’s a stimming sensation not a shock. And it’s a PRONG collar

[@wm-fm1ts]

Riiight. Although in this case, obviously the electric collar wasn't helping and was only making the dogs more keyed up! But it's not like they're horrible in every situation. I've tested e-collars on myself - they're *startling* but they don't hurt.

if the dogs are so “big and strong” then WHY DO YOU HAVE THEM IF YOU ARE LITERALLY AGING

[@user-dd8ws1co7j]

LOLLLLLL

[@briachelle86]

"They're strong and hard to control, so we had to get a shock collar for our safety" ... then why tf did you get that dog? Case of a BAD pet owner.

[@claire8690]

theyre not bad owners just uneducated/unexperienced

[@chillyforest69]

Not bad just uneducated like they got the worst quality prongs ever plus they should have gotten an e collar instead of shock collar

[@autumntaco8722]

E collars aren't even meant to curb aggression like that. Aggression naturally falls away with discipline, and e collars aren't discipline, they're a tool to achieve it... you can't just strap an e collar on a dog and say it's disciplined. Maybe it's because I've watched so many dog training videos, but it baffles me that people get dogs, don't set boundaries, lets aggressive behaviors go, and then get shocked when their clickers and e collars don't work. It's much more work, and there'll never be a tool to do that work for you.

It's just so neat for me to see Weimaraners just cause they are so rare, but that's the kind of dog we had growing up. He was a nervous hyperactive mess at times but no dog I've ever known was better with kids. He appointed himself our nanny, and put up with a lot of mauling. He watched over us, let us ride him like a horse, dress him in clothes, sleep on him etc. When we went swimming in the lake, if my little sis got out too far for his taste, he'd pick her up by the bathing suit and carry her back on shore. One day a large neighbor dog jumped the fence and attacked me while I was riding a tricycle down the street from my house. It would have been a lot worse if our Weimaraner hadn't smashed through the window in the front door and came running to my rescue. He was only 6 months then, not full grown and didn't have the shaggy coat of the other dog to protect him, but he just kept throwing himself between us, and refusing to back down, till the bad dog ran away. Then a short time later he was back laying in the sandbox with my baby sis making mud pies on top of him. That wasn't the only time he came to our rescue either. I still consider him my model for a good dog.

Here my tip of the day!: don’t do anything to your pets that you wouldn’t do to yourself!

[@lathafalls7675]

Yes thank u

Ikr like when I got my prong collar and my e collar I tried it on myself so many times

[@alekk3687]

@@chillyforest69 But would you want it on you constantly on walks digging into your neck, or when you were to reach down for food, etc.? Or would you rather be able to eat normally and just learn what's right and what's not if you were in the dogs position yourself.

[@whatever3563]

Ok well I guess I won’t buy a collar for my dog, put the no pull collar she put on the dog, I won’t leash my dog, I’ll let them in out of the house whenever,etc. That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen

[@gingerizard3262]

@@whatever3563 that’s not what I mean. all that stuff is safe for your dog. What I mean is that you probably wouldn’t put a shock collar on yourself willingly. I didn’t say treat your dog like a human.

Skye quickly took to the training very easily & quickly for an older dog. Which makes me believe this couple didn't even try to train their dog.

[@artisallthat]

They need to set up some challenges for their dogs to burn off energy and to activate their minds.

[@misspeach3755]

Exactly! Weimaraners are a very intelligent and hard-working breed with a sense of humor. (Used to be my favorite dog breed.) Makes me wonder why there wasn't a "two-weeks after rehearsal" as they usually have on the show.

[@Harrisonneely]

I am actually super happy for these people they learned their lesson! They learned how much it hurts, and those dogs are so beautiful
