There are lots of threads here on that subject. Thanks Anne your a big help, lol.
Some people are against them but I use the prong collar on both of my dogs and it works like magic. There are other methods you can use also. I tried the Halti and it was a no go. For me and my two Weims nothing else worked but the prong collar. |

If they pull, stop. Don't start walking again until they are still. Once you start walking, if they start to pull again stop immediately. Repeat. Good Luck!  |

You can buy various training aids - some of those used & discussed on the forum include gentle leaders/haltis, body harnesses, martingale collars, choke/slip collars, sporn I believe makes a "no pull" something or other.....and as you have been directed to, threads on prong collars.
Goodluck! |
