I don't understand why anyone would use a prong collar, shock collar, or any other device to train their dog or any animal! When we are teaching our children something, we don't use any tortureous device on them, so why should we use such devices as prong collars? Personally, I think it goes back t...

Also, your comment on the halti being for safety in case the dog spots a squirrel: if a dog spots a squirrel and lunges for it, the halti could snap his head back and do bad damage to his neck. In a situation like this the halti can break a dog's neck. So, Noobs and Mattie, not to get anyone fired ...

ChillyAndClover,maybe if the owner of this dog had taught him to walk properly on a lead before running next to their bike, there wouldn't have been any need for a prong collar. I don't like halties either, I have a friend who knows a dog that broke his neck with one of these. You can put as many g...

I believe prong collars do not have a place in training, especially positive training! The only time I have used such a device is when I had a client with a large, boistrous Lab mix who was fearful of the gentle leader. She had to use the gentle leader on him for safety reasons; she rode the bike al...

This video might help you with your mat training. She uses clicker training, but she does not add the doorbell cue, she adds a verbal cue. If I were you, I would have some one ring the doorbell at the moment you should add the verbal cue, as shown in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVGasly...

What kind of training are you doing with him, who is the trainer? In my opinion, you should get proffessional help. This could escalate into something much worse, and if not treated immediately, you may never be able to trust him again. Trust me, I know it sounds harsh and hard to imagine, but it's ...
