What is a prong collar good for?
When used properly, the prong collar can actually protect the dog from trachea damage caused by an inexperienced handler or by the dog itself when it pulls on the collar excessively due to excitement or bad behavior. The prong collar distributes the pull all the way around the neck instead of directly on the throat.
How tight should a pinch collar be?
The links should be snug but not tight, and you should be able to fit one finger comfortably between a prong and your dog’s skin.
