Leerburg's Dog Training eBooks

I currently have one male bb that is difficult on leash. He is the first and only dog I have used the prong collar on and I must say it works. Funny thing is I have never corrected him with that collar. For some reason he is good with that collar on and without corrections. It is like magic when that thing is on he just acts the way he should on leash. Make sure it fits correctly and I take it off of him when we get home. I only use it when I take him out in public. For years I said I don't need stuff like that I can train a dog without that nonsense. I am fortunate that I still learn things and I don't know it all. There is a time and place for the use of the prong collar. Just be careful not to confuse your Fila and attempt to train them to stop being Fila's.

Our pup was difficult for about an hour. We use food for motivation and a British Knot for a leash which has been awesome. Simply slide the slip to the base of his neck, give him a treat, and start walking. His drive is for the treat and he hates the pressure on his neck so at 10 weeks he is doing great. We plan to keep this up on our daily walks.
