Tyler Muto is a trainer out of New York, that I Really like.
He has a technique that he calls “Conversational Leash Work”. It’s very cool. It’s very gentle. And he uses a Prong Collar.
Wait….. What?
Gentle use of a Prong. How’s that supposed to work?
I’ll let him explain it:
Pretty interesting stuff. He’s using -R, and a very subtle and gentle way that’s hard to find flaw with. It’s just a tad further up the intensity scale from a BAT protocol, that is pretty much accepted by even the most sparkly, of the fairy farts, and rainbows crowd.
And just in case you think that “that’s fine on a mellow dog, but not MY monster”, check this out:
Anyway…. There’s some interesting use of a Prong Collar used for -R, and you don’t come out the other end being arrested for animal abuse.
