Product Review: Therapet Prong Training Collar

&Nbsp;ad.

By this point I'd been in dogs in 4-H for a couple of years with my Redbone cross (seen in user picture) and she decided she wanted to be in it too. However, her new dog happened to be a Chow-Chow (about three years old) with the characteristic long, very thick hair those dogs tend to have and she didn't pay any attention whatsoever to the traditional chain choke collar.

Our leader suggested she get a pinch collar. A pinch collar is a nasty-looking device consisting of numerous metal sections meant to easily form to the dog's neck and has wire prongs sticking out of the inside of the collar. This dog was already skittish and the collar looked like it might be able to hurt her, but our leader was an AKC trainer for many years and our faith in her experience finally won out.

We purchased the Therapet collar which has plastic caps on the prongs, not all pinch collars have these, at the time it cost about $10 but I have since seen the same item for $15-$20.

He also suggests that any dog aggressive dog be muzzled at all times because dog aggression can lead to human aggression, and that until a dog is trained it should be muzzled around children. Finally there's a disclaimer that if you must watch the DVD's carefully to not harm your dog, and that any prior health conditions of the dog may be exacerbated by his training methods, and you should consult your vet. I realize some of this is legal garbage to avoid being sued, but I was not pleased at all with the way the booklet read. Our puppy has many playdates - Every Thursday about 5 of us get together and take our dogs out to play. Our dog has never growled or barked at any of the other dogs. Even when the other dogs are playing rough and snarling at each-other, Akasha stops dead in her tracks, comes up to us and gives us this look. As if to ask "Ma, Dad, is it okay?" - Just because pitbulls are naturally DA, doesn't mean they have to be with the proper socialization. Not to mention to say a DA dog will become Human Aggressive - Unless you contain your dog 24/7 without Human contact, then they aren't going to become HA - possibilities can happen, but its rare that a responsible owner has to deal with an HA dog ~ (unless the dog has temperment issues or some kind of illiness) I did some more research and it's an "AS SEEN ON TV" product by a supposed animal trainer who doesn't come up on google at all other than his product.
