Jory,
You don't give a "sharp correction" with this type of collar, it is self correcting without you giving a tug. This type of collar is VERY HUMANE, if used correctly it can be the proper tool in training.
Teena, how old is your dog? I don't believe training should start with a prong collar, it irks me to see a young pup with one one...and usually it's loose!!!
There are other types of collars you can use for training such as chin lead, or even a flat tag collar will work fine if your dog responds to a tug alright....so it depends on the dog.
Training takes time, it's not an overnight thing...don't become quick to have that perfect dog.
