I don't think a 6 month old pup should have either a choke chain or prong collar on. A 6 month old pup should be learning how to walk nicely on a flat collar. I think I would run the other way from a training school that was wanting me to use one on my pup.

As far as prong collars, I do think they are a good training tool for a full grown Rottweiler. Many here use them and find it gives them alot more control with their dogs.
