HOW TO INTRODUCE THE PRONG COLLAR!! NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In this video I demonstrate my favorite way of introducing the Prong Collar to my dog. This will be a very important tool in our training journey, so I make sure it is introduced in a way that creates motivation and trust! An appropriate age to introduce the collar is this way can greatly vary. Regardless, the bottom line should be POSITIVE ASSOCIATION with any training equipment being introduced! In my case, this pup was about 5-6 months old when I introduced the prong collar to him.
I am training the prong collar to ACTIVATE the dog and actually be an ON switch. This means that when the dog feels pressure from the collar, they don't think "uh oh", but rather it propels them into the asked behavior with enthusiasm! THE DOG HAVING THE ABILITY TO WORK/ THINK THROUGH PRESSURE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE TO A LARGER PUZZLE!!
This method will produce a dog who works with more enthusiasm and reliability BECAUSE of the Prong Collar training!!
DISCLAIMER: This training tool is my personal preference. I do NOT expect everybody to share the same opinion as me and that is totally fine! I have many trainer friends who are all positive and I respect them and their methods very much. Not everyone needs to use this collar to achieve training results!

Love, love, LOVE this video. All the stupid, uneducated folks out there trying to ban the prong collar (and other tools) need to watch this. Bravo, Andy 👏🏻
Andy - I don't think there are any other trainers that make me laugh so much whilst delivering loads of interesting info and great tips at the same time. Love your energy and enthusiasm in all your videos!
Never seen a prong used like this and it's amazing! Refreshing! And entertaining! Thank you!

Fantastic how you introduce the 'prong' collar, positive association; food reward. And as you frequently emphasize, the dog is receiving mental exercise.

Often times the prong is implemented out of frustration or as a ‘last resort’. Then the dog is immediately punished for a behavior they don’t even know. One of the main reasons this tool is demonized.
Great Video, Teaching the dog to love the prong collar. Dog sees it; ... "Oh, goodie. We are going to doo something fun!"
Excellent explanation of the concept of activation.

Wow i really needed this
Simple. Short. Effective. No Non-sense. It's refreshing to have content like this, that doesn't require an hour of pandering caution's to the ignorant and theoretical monologues. This is all you need on this topic to start successfully. The only thing I think was missing was a quick comment to send pet owners in the right direction if they decide to use this method (as it's optimal), because you acknowledged them. Maybe either an alternative channel (potential cross pollination opportunity?), or mentioning an alternative solution without going into explanation, or a future video targeting the problem (wink wink nudge nudge, but I understand that might not be something you are interested in). Thanks for the video, your work is appreciated! god bless

Great video can u do a video on how to condition a special collar so the dog knows when it’s time to work and put full energy and power, instead of putting full energy and power into everything it would be better to condition a special collar so the dog understands to go nuts

From Argentina. Great video on a topic I couldn't find no where. I can get that brand in my country, however, I can't get e collars right now for importation restrictions.

What about feeding when you working him I know it’s not a breed that’s predisposed to bloat but for example a German Shepherd that would be a worry feeding him all through the training session even though it’s a little bit out of time I usually feed my guy in the morning and then at night and he hast to be used right after I feed him I have to find a way to either have him throw up the food cause don’t wanna work on the type of scenario on a full stomach with a shepherd any thoughts please when you get a chance if possible I am thinking about getting the mail but I’m not sure I’m 65 and working dogs all my life but I’m not as spry as I used to be I’ve been bitten probably 15 times are usually my fault but sometimes you can young handlers can be careless and they usually hear from me after the carelessness lost part of the thumb doing muzzle training but I always came back but now I wanna do some stuff that is just for my guys even though my guy I always had a dog had to do everything they do it was probably the best friend of all of them however I’m not sure I wanna do sport work because after doing some of the others sport work is great and it is fantastic the dogs are fantastic at it but it’s more like a dance a pre-rehearsed dance where his canine work is more like a bar room brawl and that was the fun part setting up scenarios it was absolutely crazy

I don’t love the word ‘fix’. It Implies there is a problem. No problem, dog needs to be taught and motivated how to walk more calmly. I’d develop high food drive and start from there. Reward every check in and everytime the dog is not pulling. This is step 1. Also the situations the dog is put in depending on their skills is everything! You’ve likely tried to progress to much too fast and set the dog up for failure. Scale back and build up to that 👍🏻
