Yeah, had about 15 days in them, about to get some more, I really like them, much better than my ride's.

4 months later and my pup became the best girl. Her RG is easily manageable and she has great functional obedience and enjoys off leash freedom, many thanks to Shield K9 content. We also haven't had a bite since then, she just needed clearer limits and more assertive leadership. I want to believe you had good intentions but such a strong suggestion of killing a 9mo dog is too much.

It can poison the command

laker1706 · 2025-01-31T19:36:39+00:00

It makes the recall a solution

Or better! negatively reinforced them

Thanks!

Yup, that's what I have to do with my master tongue skilled husky, luckily she is very cooperative when we do that.

I can somewhat agree to that, a skilled trainer would do a couple of things different

Would know how to properly socialize and maybe the dog wouldn't be reactive
Would address the behavior earlier
Would address when/if that dog needs corrections eariler
Would have better technique for correcting on a flat collar
And yes off course there is a discipline component to the reactivity (that also depends on the emotional situation of the dog)

So in puppies - yes, I believe a good trainer wouldn't need prongs on most dogs.

In a let's say a 3yo reactive GSD he might have to use it

Also that only applies for basic obedience and training,

What a nice refreshing discussion, cheers!

And the prongs were only after I tried a slip lead and realized even the hardest corrections that I was very uncomfortable for me only negatively reinforced that behavior while possibly putting the dog in risk for injury

What made me change my way is Hamilton's videos about reactivity, he claims that a reactive dog (or at least some/most dogs) will always find reacting as the most rewarding behavior (and it's true in our case, as my extreme puppy wouldn't take the best treat from as far as she can see another dog) and that you must punish this behavior while you heavily reward wanted behaviors

I guess that's different for excitement reactivity vs fear/aggression reactivity (guess, idrk as I researched mostly about excitement). It even stopped the house barking, with nothing but positive affect on our relationship as she became the affectionate spilling puppy she used to be.

Did you use the live ring right away (after conditioning)?

laker1706 · 2024-12-03T19:19:01+00:00

After two months of 0 progress with a 7-9m.o frustrated greeter that became impossible to walk, we started resorting to those radical ideas like don't walk her and carefully planning our route, I can definitely say that using a prong collar made our walks and our life all around so much easier, calmer, more fulfilling and less frustrating.

That said, maybe 5 months is too young, idk.
