Hi Kaiya

A prong is a tool and I wouldn't use it on a retractable either unless you have too. I have to break this rule myself though. I live in an apartment and My 17 month old doesn't get to run free too often because I have no yard. We are now weening off the Prong because her heels and comes are getting really good but in the past, what I did is, get in open spaces where I could see all around me and used the retractable to let her run around a little and hooked it to her collar under the prong. But then when we trained or I saw other dogs, kids or people and wanted to make sure I had total control, I pulled out a regular leash and made sure the prong was fitted and up properly.
