| The prong is not cruel,I`ve noticed that sometimes they are used in training right from the get go,instead of a last resort.I wish I had started with one earlier(some dogs were born pullers)-actualy the choke is cruel if used hard can damage the neck&vocal cords,read this somewhere, sorry don`t have a link.It only pinches if he/she pulls-it`s better than always yanking or walking a dog hanging himself-the prongs are not sharp and the fur on the neck doesn`t get worn away.Aso I have noticed that the standerd'choke'is being slowly replaced-the name sais it all. |
