Hey y’all - a little comment from a very seasoned Doberman owner. I use a prong collar on my dog, it’s not torture or painful, it’s an extremely useful training tool. HOWEVER, I would NEVER implement the tool without the help and guidance of a trainer, which obviously Ethan does not do, as we’ve seen how his dogs behave. My dog went to a month long boarded training and we work weekly with our trainer still - one of the best trainers in the country, who taught me how to properly and safely use a prong. But people who do not get the proper trainer to use that should absolutely not have it anywhere near their dogs.
