I bought a herm springer collar for my GS mix Belgian malinois and what a huge difference it made stepped the pulling instantly. Thank you for the great info. I have bought a lot of the things you recommend.
Happy to hear it!
The thing about this video that is misleading is a balloon isnt a 70-130lbs dog tryna pull u or the leash so good job misleading with this video brotha
@Hahah878 ahh, so it teaches the dog not to pull at your but rather to obey..............
My government keeps pulling and control you on the ground unless it's right up on the throat.
Unfortunately this very hard to keep it up there and while he starts moving around the prongs start coming down and he gets more strength to pull.
Best way I found was to stop every time you pulls and after a while it doesn't do it anymore.
@@AmericanStandardK9you could have also shown in the video that the collar won't pop the balloon, but if the balloon touches the grass it pops .....
The red popped balloon in the back be like 🧐😂
Haha nice spot haha. Then later on in another clip he hides the evidence 😂😂😂😂
Bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
First video was wtf and it popped
Spike collars are supposed to be worn "inside out" to protect the animals vitals;
Burp ups in 3 year old noises
Some adults here: you think your better then me¿
The baby: heeeeeheeeyeeea
Also the fucking balloon had abt 3 grams of weight to it so it obviously wouldn't have enough inertia to puncture itself. Pointless demonstration 😂😂😂
I agree prong callers are perfectly fine. But using a balloon with zero weight behind it is some 5-year-old logic
I was just thinking that. Put some sand in the balloon 😂
Yeah, there's no force being applied. It being snug to the balloon likely helps to keep the thing from popping from the shaking, too. This video just shows that the prongs aren't very sharp.
I mean you think you're such a genius it's a god dang balloon they pop easy, I'm sure you've had a balloon before. It takes little to no pressure to pop a balloon if any sharpness is applied. I thought a child still in single digits would know that
@@ninjafungamer1151 The test he made isn't conclusive to real world results, I can squeeze a balloon for hours, let me squeeze your neck like a balloon for a few hours and then we will check what shade of purple ur face is. I don't have knowledge of the collars but it's obvious that the way the balloon was bouncing doesn't resemble a dog's neck or how it would actually pull on their neck, bones or throat structure.
@@ninjafungamer1151 I hate parties because the constant sound of balloons popping scares the life outta me
Someone give this guy a nobel prize- achievement in physics. He proved a baloon that can float in air, has the same mass of a dog.
Spot on
Yea this is the issue I have with this😅 like sir I understand that the collar isn't sharp. But that shit is definitely hurting
🤓
wtf? it doesn't matter about the mass. It's the force the collar puts on the dog's neck. There's no correlation between the tightness of the collar to the dog's weight

@@Spaghetiiy it's the red balloon that is popped in the first clip.
Unless someone is severely misusing the prong collar, it shouldn’t cause physical harm to the dog.
Well done 100%, correct🎉
Exatamente!
Exactly it’s either the dog is so dumb it’s trying its hardest to get to someone while it’s doing that or the owner is ripping around the dog
It can that's why it's forbidden almost everywhere
@@Suriprofz Forbidden everywhere almost every state I've been in sells them where are you from that they are banned
Did you imagine that an air filled balloon has the same mass as a 50-150lb dog?
Amazing test..
They aren’t sharp on the skin but they do still cause compression of nerves and damage vertebrae and can even cause muscle tears. It won’t always hurt the dog at the time but can cause long term damage
@@apexiv6919yes this is my exact thought I have working in animal medicine and am now a dog trainer and I have seen collapsed tracheas or just trachea sensitivity caused by using different tools like prong collars, chock chains and even martingale collars. Yes I have seen a case where a prong color left puncture wounds on a dog. It could be from user error by the owner pulling WAY to hard on these collars or the dog is absolutely determined to pull no matter what pressure is around their neck. That’s not to say that these tools don’t work for correcting pulling. But you HAVE to have an educated owner and a dog that responds to the corrections. My own dog continued to pull soo hard when I tried using a martingale to train her and it started to cause trachea sensitivity the second I noticed I switched her back to the easy walk I was using. With positive reinforcement I was able to get her to stop pulling. Obviously the easy walk and positive reinforcement training isn’t going to work for every dog but I always start with less and add more if I have to. Prong collars and chock chains are my last resort not the first thing I put on a dog thats been pulling.
He is trying to say that the balloon wouldn’t be pulled as hard as you would pull on a dogs neck when you want the dog to stop whereas he looks like he’s just bouncing the balloon with little to no effort because the balloon doesn’t way anything compared to a dog
My pit/Mastiff mix is around 75-80, he bent a pronged collar in about three days. Does his job good but damn. Scary stuff.
And a dog that refuses to stop pulling to the point of choking themselves and coughing on a normal collar can also damage their necks. Like he says, that collar is on the balloon snugger than it is on a dog. Incorrectly using any tool can cause injury, be it construction workers or people with their dogs. Doesn't make the tool bad. @@apexiv6919
Guys, he’s addressing the specific issue that some people believe prong collars will actually poke a hole in your dogs neck, like being stabbed, causing a puncture to the skin, bleeding, etc. I’ve come across many people who have this belief because they think “oh sharp and spiky” when that’s not the case. He’s using the balloon to show it won’t puncture skin, even though there’s many “sharp spikes” as people believe. When you have a large dog on this type of collar you literally only apply as much force as he’s using here. It really doesn’t take much when used properly. A prong collar is supposed to be used with a quick light snap, not consistent pressure and pulling. However, even with a basic flat nylon collar or harness, when used incorrectly it can cause harm. Could’ve been executed a little better but there are people who genuinely believe prong collars are basically collars with knives choking and cutting into the dog.
I do have a question for ya though, just curious, not trying to be rude, what about the *dog* pulling it, yes I understand how you explained it but if you have a big dog and they pull what about that? He just bounced it around a little and didn't show how a dog would pull on it, especially a big dog. And I've gotten pinched and scratched by one of those collars, plus if you were the dog imagine having that collar on and pulling, it would hurt. That's why they stop pulling. Because it hurts. My mom trained our red nosed pit and didn't even need one of those collars
@@Yayoka-konait’s gonna hurt unless the dog stops pulling. You can train them without prong collar, but it will take 10 times longer which is why people like to use the prong collar method. Some people like myself have a dog with a lot of prey drive which makes it hard to do it the snowflake way. I’m not afraid of my dog being in temporary discomfort to learn how to walk on loose leash.
@mathmanchris666 you shouldn't hurt animals.... also there is a popped baloon in the background.....
@@diamondmasterandwillytheca2642The popped baloon proves nothinf though, it could have been from a possible different try where they popped it without even using the collar on it. There are many possible cases where the balloon could have popped. This argument is just dumb.
But I defently strongly agree with you, unless the dog is a danger to you and/or other dogs and humans around it then, and only then you should use a training technique that might cause pain or discomfort to a dog
@@emanuelg1892I had an aneurism trying to read your comment.
Thanks to you, I put my 3 dogs up for adoption and bought some balloons
👍
Yes, that balloon has the weight, pull, and free will of a 75lb to 80lb dog. Fantastic example
Pretty sure I see some red popped balloons on the ground literally both in front and behind him lmao
Thank you!
Also being In contact with the balloon it'll never pop because the surface area in contact is even. If they're was a little slack in it (like there would be with a real dog...) then it would 110% pop.
@@yaboi_myst2185this short is prob a retake 😐
@@yaboi_myst2185He also popped the balloon in the video with a knife. So it was probably just a failed take.
Yeah, i love how the balloon weighs 30-80 pounds, is barking its ass off and lunging towards someone else.
Maybe a balloon filled with water would have been a bit better of a comparison? Then at least it would have some weight
That was the best "what the hell" I ever heard 😂😂
Dogs, cats and similar mammals have a certain muscle (piniculus carnosis) that allows their skin to be far more loose and maneuverable, so a prong collar is really unlikely to hurt them. These muscles are also why when dogs or cats play fight, they don't really rip each other to shreds.
Yeah but when it comes to strong big heavy dogs tugging repeatedly on a collar with prongs poking into it's neck
It can cause *severe* inflammation in the skin and in the muscle
It can make dog cough, it can collapse the windpipe and even injure tbe thyroid glands
In more unlikely cases it can also cause injuries of the cervical spine
Simply don't put prongs on a collar and, who wouldve guessed, these arent as likely to happen
“Of course punching doesn’t hurt, look how I’m punching myself so lightly and it doesn’t hurt at all!”
Or: "paper can actually float on water and is waterproof, watch this" *pulls out a piece of paper coated in wax*
"Look this feather doesn't hurt, so neither should a brick"
Spoken like a genius
True
That “what the heyll?!” was perfect🤣
That was the most southern "what the hell" I've ever heard him say.
Bro is so gentle with the balloon but swings dogs around like yo-yos
He said “proofs in the pudding folks” lmao
I understand your point however the baloon is low mass therefore not much pressure on the prongs, fill it with water
Prong collars are great. But this experiment is completely flawed. That balloon needs to be anchored down because our dogs neck doesn’t move freely like a balloon with air.
Tryed it , still doesn't pop! He is 100 per correct!
@@johngatt34 wasn’t saying he wasn’t correct, just saying the way he demonstrated was an inaccurate experiment
My thoughts exactly. It needs to be filled with water or something of the like.
@@robwaters8848 yeah that’s also a good point. It should be filled with something heavy cause the neck is not filled with air. But he not going to reupload a better one
@@johngatt34that's fine, but the video doesn't even begin to prove that.
What people dont seem to understand is that the prong collar is not the issue, its the people that dont use it correctly.
Yeah, it's not the collar's fault, it's the idiots who pull on it like they're trying to rev a chainsaw
The spikes have their force distributed over a large surface area (since there’s multiple of them), reducing the pressure. That’s why the balloon doesn’t pop. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
I think a cantaloupe or a melon of some sort would be a more appropriate comparison
Honeydew so you can see the holes.
Or just do a water balloon, it'll pop.
@Cyndakaiser melon wouldn't be a good idea, lacks the hair and tough skin dogs necks have. Melons are so soft that they probably would have holes in them. The last two "snaps" of the balloon are how I correct my dog, same effort. It works, and my dog is safer for it. Not risking throat, larynx, or nerve damage because he is pulling so hard he's choking himself. Needed the prong collar to punish the self injury in order to calm him down enough to train him how to walk properly and actually use reinforcers for good leash walking.
No it wouldnt. Unless you hold the thing down with the force equivalent to what the dog puts on it, the tests mean nothing.
Uses a balloon with 0 pounds of weight behind it, we going back to kindergarten with this logic
The point was it wasn't sharp that's why he used the knife in the end. If you think about it, there's no point in using the knife if that wasn't part of the subject
Ok but dogs skin are way more stronger than a ballon think just think
Don’t copy someone else’s comment
@@maddex1318the balloon pulled with its astonishing weight of what 0.01 pounds? You do realize that a dog pulling is gonna apply way more pressure :/
Bruh just use the Ballon instead of something that can pop but also have weight to it
That “oh mah god wth” would make such a good tiktok template
The test was bad but his point still stands
I think that prong collars are fine but this logic is so hilarious. You learn about why the balloon wouldn’t pop in high school lmao
Now put 100+ pounds on it
Yeah I’m actually surprised how dumb he is to not comprehend the difference. He’s floating a balloon with no weight….. vs a dog literally sprinting away while holding them back. Wild to make this comparison.
I stand behind the collar. However the logic in his comparison is ridiculous. Don’t even need the 100 pounds. Fill that balloon with water and watch it pop almost immediately if not immediately first shake. That amount of force the dog will use is not comparison to a no weight balloon lmao
@@jamesmichael9341 right??😂i thought he’d do more until he popped it and just ended the video
@@hezowrld Dude that’s what I’m saying 😂 missing the weight and force of the dog and correlating it to the literal weight of a BALOON with no force. Wild
@@jamesmichael9341 utterly disgraceful video
Brother doesn't understand physics enough to compare a baloon to a dog.
A balloon and a dog are two different things😂
Most of your vids don’t miss but this one is funny not because of the collar but the physics behind the experiment 😂
Agreed. I love him and his videos, and have no problems with prong collars. But the physics behind this experiment are far far off😂 now if he did it with a water balloon ? Be a little more accurate
Even with water that force would be ridiculously low compared to a dog pulling with full force 😂😂
@@vodizzzle oh most definitely, But would still have a good bit more pull back than a balloon with air
@@vodizzzleThe point(no pun intended) that most don't understand, used properly a dog will never pull force. After the dog has once run to end of leash most will never do it again. They comprehend that they caused the discomfort.. after that it's just a communication device.
@@TomRolfsonthis simply isn't true.
To say this you would have to know for a fact the dog is associating the discomfort of the prong collar with the act of pulling itself.
Research tells us it's actually unlikely for the dog to make this assumption, at least quickly.
Dogs are far more likely to make a visual assumption. The dog may think that whatever it was looking at and thus pulling towards is the thing that caused the discomfort.
This is where we get prong collars actually potentially worsening aggression
This isn't to say prong collars do not have their uses. However it's not likely to work the first time they pull and you should include other methods of communication too.
This dude is going to be flabbergasted when he learns that dog fur/skin is made of a different material than a balloon
Yeah its because that material is why a prong collar won't hurt a dog.
@@Hitoshuratdnit’s been completely proven that prong collars do cause discomfort and pain for dogs. open a book please
@@agoraphobic0001 amd then there are other sources that claim that it doesn't. Rather, prongs are safe if used effectively (like all things really). Instead of being condescending , how about you reflect on your behaviour.
And I'll also take the advice of a far more professional dog trainer than yours.
@@Hitoshuratdn it’s not condescending to be honest, and you’re just choosing which “trainers” to listen to. i listen to people who have a thorough understanding of dog psychology, and anyone who uses prongs either doesn’t know, or doesn’t care. i’m simply quoting actual dog trainers/behaviourists. in case you want to say that i’m being biased with the trainers i listen to, im not, all i want is the best for my dogs and through thorough research i’ve seen that the only way to train my dogs to actually make THEIR lives better as opposed to mine, is the avoid ecollars and prongs. i’m not gonna have a back and forth with you because i’ve got better things to do, but i think it’s important to do research on these things before you harm a dog
@@agoraphobic0001
"you’re just choosing which “trainers” to listen to"
"in case you want to say that i’m being biased with the trainers i listen to, im not"
You are.
Instead of living in a bubble of confirmation bias, why don't you take the time to learn about both sides of the argument. Just because you don't like the information that is presented does not mean it is wrong. There are various arguments on the usage of prongs and e-collars.
I have two Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and without those collars I would be dragged around like a rag doll
"Heres why a prong caller is safe" *lightly bounces a Ballon*
While I do agree... that looks like a trained balloon to me. You can tell it's really not pulling as hard as most balloons.
Yea , just look at the untrained red balloon on the ground. That one was "from the factory" and was untrained, so it poped.
I’ve never seen anyone that uses a choke collar be that gentle
That’s how gentle your supposed to be with a prong collar smh. If your rougher than that your being too rough. Believe it or not that’s all it takes. I’ve taught multiple dogs with a prong collar. (2 gsd’s and a cane corso) And all of them only tugged gently. The goal is to not hurt the dog but provide a minor discomfort . Dogs hate discomfort .
@@elbob1491 give me a example of a time where a dog was actually killed by a prong collar and it wasn’t the owner being too rough?
Thats not a test 😂 unless its for a tea cup chihuahua 😂😂

"How about we put that torture device on you and see if it hurts or not"😂
“From the factory” 😂

@@joey9511shit bro yk he lost hp for that
Now this, this is stupid. Bro couldn’t make himself look dumber if he tried. Man leaves a popped balloon on the ground right behind him and then acts like that balloon simulates anything but a balloon gingerly placed in a prong collar. Grab both ends of that balloon and give it a 60+lb of force pull against it, we can then test how sturdy that balloon is.
The problem with prong collars is most people who use them, use them wrong. They’re also completely unnecessary and not worth the risk because some dogs have no sense of self preservation and will hurt themselves on the prongs regardless of how well the handler knows how to use the collar because dogs that have a prong collar on, have them on because they pull with a good amount of force. A good trainer won’t need one, a lazy trainer will want one because they don’t have to try as hard.
Good trainers use prong collars because they want to get the dog trained as fast as possible. A good trainer isn’t a trainer that takes 8 months to teach a dog to walk on loose leash. A good trainer is a trainer that uses effective techniques to properly train your dog. Fast training doesn’t equal bad trainer, quite the opposite. Seems like you were Zack George’s booty call
This man left his 2 brain cells in that red balloon.
“Built from the factory to take bites.” 😂😂😂 love it.

@@ILovePanta123The balloon would still pop 🤯🤯
@@superghost86no. The balloon does not have the same mass as a dog who is actively trying to escape or fight so the downward force is not the same. A dog who is trying to run will have a higher chance of getting cut than a balloon which just sits there with zero weight

That's like me putting that collar on you telling you to walk forward and I walk with you without putting any tension on the collar
It’s like one of those turbo flex commercial where they don’t apply any pressure to there product to show there point ahahah
Yes! My lab mix was a bad leash puller when he was young. The trainer at petsmart talked me into getting a prong collar and it made a world of difference. She said it mimics the way a mother dog gives corrective bites to a puppy.
Exactly correct on what the trainer said!
the prongs also don't crush the throat like choke chains do
The only people I hear saying prong collars are bad are those who've never used one or never learned to use one properly.
@@TomRolfson yeppers
Correct. IF ITS SET PROPERLY with the rings in front and prongs on the back of the neck.
“Oh my gawd… wat da hell 👀” I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
Thats like proving windshields dont break easily by throwing a sponge at it
Why could I just heard the intention of the words FU afterwards 😂😂
Balloon weighs only a few grams but the weight of a XL dog can be over 120lbs plus the amount of pull or force can be significant enough to cause damage to their trachea.
Exactly damn this man really thought a balloon will put as much resistance as a cane Corso or summin
If youre dog pulls with all his might on a prong then you gotta chose another method but they rarely do . If they respond to it well then its an effective communication tool with no harm done.
Idk what kind of bro science you are quoting but people use prong collars instead of letting their dog haul them around on a regular collar because a regular collar with a pulling dog does damage to their trachea
When my daughter had a dog who needed a prong collar for better walks, I put it on myself first. She laughed, but it didn't hurt. It was just pressure.

Bro Failed Physics Class in 10th
The balloo weighs fuck all, the dog has muscle and strength to pull thus making the prongs dig in. They wouldn't work if they didn't hurt. They may not poke holes in them, but it doesn't mean it won't cause them pain. Your argument is flawed on soooooo many counts.
Awww I'm sorry maybe you should get rid of you chiwawa and get a male cane Corso goodluck.
Right? Absolutely it is. This is a dumb demonstration. It's like coating paper in wax and saying "paper does float and is actually waterproof. You were misinformed."
Crazy how physics work! Couldn't imagine an object with no weight not exerting any kind of force back onto itself! Glad we got that off our minds now.
Just because the ballon won’t pop doesn’t mean it’s not hurting the dog, there are plenty of videos that show the dispersion of pressure through many points makes it harder to pop a balloon. That being said, I’ve never had or used one of those collars, so you could still be right that it doesn’t hurt the dog, but this test doesn’t prove that.
With a leather strap collar I had to use way more pressure to get my Cane Corso’s attention, with a prong collar I use 2 fingers to apply a very slight pop and she is back into a heel.
I also put it on my own neck first and attached the lead and no joke I yanked on it like a man possessed and yes it did suck but there was no damage to my neck I could still breathe and wasn’t anywhere close to yelping in pain
I bet you could make money if you recorded that and posted it on the internet 😂😂😂...
My wife and kids found it hilarious but you gotta do what you gotta do in the name of science 😂
THANK YOU FOR Showing this to people!❤
Bro never took physics
If your intention was to prove that it wont damage a nearly weightless balloon that has no resistance to you then you got it spot on.
I used one on my parents yellow lab growing up. She was my dad’s duck dog but during summer when they were at work and I was home I would walk her all around. But she was a bad leash puller so I struggled.. UNTIL, my parents neighbors who owned/own German Shepherds, told me about the prong collar. Worked wonders and I was able to go EVERYWHERE with her. Sometimes we would even go in the woods behind the house and run wild 😅 I still use them today. Had to buy a new one when I got a puppy off my parents neighbors that have the German Shepherds.. it’s saved my BUTT because my GSD is a BAD puller without it on. When I put the vest on (so he can pull me on runs) he goes WILD. 6 yo and still going strong as ever!😊
What a great dog trainer and teacher
thank you!
That's like tapping a balloon with a slightly dull knife and claiming that proves the knife could never cut someone 😂
This is giving:
Your keyboard vs. Our Turboflex keyboard
I don’t believe pronged collars are cruel but I also don’t think a balloon that provides no counter weight shows how a pronged collar isn’t harmful…
Exactly. He’s only providing the other side with a great counter
Right. A balloon is one sorry, awful way to prove nothing about this. They're literally banned in so many countries.
nah, extract the spikes like it would in real world application
I never understood how people can watch their video before posting it and think hell yea this is perfect they’ll never notice the difference between an air filled balloon and a German Shepard sprinting. Pure genius
People need to get educated on these, I will say some dogs won't do well with them. But most will, but the owner needs to learn how to use it properly
I’d say prong collars are fine in the right hands however some people misuse them
Agreed. Prong collars shouldn’t harm the dog, but they have the potential to be harmful if someone misuses them. Though that doesn’t mean the tool is inherently abusive.
@@blueflare3848 👍
They always cause pain. They can cause more serious injuries with long-term use or excessive pulling.
They're also not the most effective tactic, try positive reinforcement based training instead.
Also----- what does using a prong collar right even mean? You're pulling your dog- or your dog lunges forward- and then that's when something happens. They can't be safe, and they ALWAYS cause pain.
@@TaraAndFriends they can be safe because once a dog realises that lunging forward with a prong collar on hurts and eventually they will stop lunging so no your absolutely wrong on many levels why don’t you visit this mans website and actually take a look and learn how prong collars are used properly and prong collars are a positive was of training as long as you use them correctly
@@rosiemarriott7988 positive reinforcement training is just more effective 🤷🏽♀️ not saying anything about a prong collar but I wouldn't use it I have more luck with a harness and more control over the dogs body. Although I have seen some very hard dogs be leashed trained really fast with a prong collar. I think its really up to the owner ya know.
For the people saying the balloon didnt pop cause it has no weight, but the callor was basically choking the balloon so maybe think before you comment next time
I use prong collars on all of my dogs. They learn very quickly not to pull while walking which means that they practically never feel any pain after the first day.
Bot
You aren't allowed to use logic like that! 😖 STOP THAT IMMEDIATELY!
lol that means it hurts like hell
@@atorbubble It mimics a mother dog holding her pup by the neck when it acts out. Even pressure that sends a message but doesn't do damage.
If you don't know, ask. Don't assume or presume.

@@Tomeccho that is what someone says who has never worn one. If you need to use pain to "control" your dog you must not be that good of an owner.
To people out there who are trying to get their dogs more obedient, prong collars are for dogs with a lot of fur, for short haired dogs the ones without the prongs are fine.
My experience hopes this helps you.
We have a Mix dog. We tried all the “anti-hurting” leashes, and all I earned from that was my kid complaining on the walk, my girl getting dragged, and her arm almost pulled off. Now, she doesn’t do this to me, and when I’m at work, I can’t walk her outside. This collard and the three functions, beeping, vibration, and shock, have greatly helped us. As soon as we are on the open field, I let her run free, and with the beeping sound, she quickly gets back to me. The vibration feature helps me whenever she sees a cat, but if you're late, you have to use the shocking feature because once they are in attack mode, the other two functions are out the window, and you won't get their attention.
I’m all for prong collars but this is a pretty lame demonstration. There’s no weight in the balloon obviously so it doesn’t cause the collar to tighten up. Try it water balloon and watch it pop.
Prong collars can cause the trachea to collapse, choking, torn flesh, broken bones, and even death. It is always painful. They are banned in many countries because they are not long-term effective nor are they humane.
When you use this, you are fighting fire with fire, and making the behavioral situation way way worse.
It’s not going to pop the balloon because there’s no weight to the balloon. What a stupid demonstration.
All of his demonstrations are pretty stupid.
exactly, maybe he studied dogs but certainly not physics 🤦♂️
It causes bruising, not bleeding. A dull surface can still cause discomfort and irritation.
Ok guys, instructions were unclear, don’t copy what he did. Do NOT stab your dog in the neck with a knife
Dogs are not air filled balloons.
You should fill the balloon with water and then do the same experiment for better results
Your argument proved nothing
The "What the hail!?" Got me dead💀💀💀
I don't know why anyone has to say this but the inertial force of the balloon is basically zero. The balloon offers basically no residence(unlike a dog)
Attach a 5 lb wieght to the balloon and shake it like that.
Edit: Also there's a popped red balloon in the background.
Prong collars is so misunderstood. They can be an amazing tool to use - IF used properly!
yep. use em on my kids. Stopped running on the road after that.
as a vet tech; prong collars can be useful and very helpful. but you can cause damage with incorrect use. using a balloon doesnt really demonstrate people "hanging" their large breed dog and the weight associated with that. All training tools should be used as such, and we should all strive to learn how to use them correctly along with their pros and cons
you can also cause damage with a COLLAR. It's all about being an educated owner and getting a dog that is right for your skill level.
It s true that prong collar without proper train will cause damage to neck but this apply to all tools....you name it: normal collar, martingale collar, any type of collar, even for harness. I saw, most people who use harness create crazy dogs to control.
Get a proper training if want a dog
You can also cause damage with a flat collar😂😂😂
@@kbeldobbellodob2896that’s quite literally what they already said wow
@@samroberts9386that’s quite literally what they already said wow
This is actually a weak argument as the balloon is more flexible than a dogs neck.
So glad my dog weighs as much as a balloon and you pull the leash so gingerly 😂😂😂
horrible example. dogs weigh infinitely more than a fucking balloon
Exactly what I thought
Not to mention the already popped ballon beside him
Sure, because your 40kg large dog weighs exactly as much as an inflated balloon. You must keep in mind that prong collars are almost exclusively used by owners of dogs that are either badly trained or just starting training. These dogs (which are almost exclusively large) have the common trait that because of their untrained minds they have the tendency to pull a lot, putting almost all the weight of their bodies on their leashes. This is what will cause the injuries. Sure, some small percentage of dogs are automatically taught to stop pulling due to the prongs, but especially with badly trained dogs they tend to ignore pain untill the damage is way more severe, thus cutting and stabbing the necks of the animals. Prongs are a crutch of owners who are not willing to put in the time, money and effort required to be a responsible owner. Bouncing around a fucking balloon in a prong collar proves nothing. I can drive my car into a balloon at 60mph and the balloon is fine. Still shouldn't hit your kid with your car at 60mph.
"Today I will show you that crashing your car into concrete walls doesn't actually do any harm with thus balloon"
Tends to happen when your using something compressible that weighs nothing, this is like just swinging a prong collar around
The test doesn’t make sense a balloon doesn’t have the same resistance on the collar as a dog would.
Used these for over 30 years. No issues at all. As a matter of fact, they hear the jingle and come running for a walk.
Man's dogs come from the factory...
Lmao what is this test💀That guy has no idea how the physics work😂
prong collars are harmless when used the right way. for example, they may not hurt a 150 lb dog, but if you use a prong on your yorkie, their windpipe is probably getting crushed
A dog has a log more weight going into the prongs than a balloon does😂
I took in a homeless hunting dog, best dog I ever had and took to training super well… inside. Walks are another story, she wants to be everywhere all at once all the time. This collar was the first way I could get her to realize slightly that not pulling actually helps the walk. It’s not solved but it helped a lot
Finally I can feel safe using a prong collar on my 0.5lbs dog
Bro missed his physics classes
This is the best video to explain and debunk that prong colors are hurtful
That "What da hell?" Sounded like Uncle Roger.
