| They require proper instruction from someone who knows exactly how to use them, and like others said that doesn't mean the cashier at petsmart..
or they could cause damage used the wrong way, but so could a choke collar.
To show they are not inhumane...
I adopted a dog a year ago from the group I am with, because she had been very neglected and abused. She was afraid to be touched. She would freak out. She can also climb fences. When I brought her home..I had to have a way to take her out to potty-on lead. She was scared to death and would try to bolt on lead. With her regular collarI was afraid she'd slip out. With a choke she'd gag herself...scaring herself more. So next came a prong. Id take her out on a 12foot lead..and she'd walk to the very end of it to do her thing..but she didn't flip out like she did with regular collars. I just think being able to put one on a dog that was that frightened..and have it scare her less than a choke...etc..shows it can't be all that bad when used right.
