I would have loved to make it out there. But I'm about an hour away from them. :( I wouldn't be able to make it during lunch.

ROFL! That dog looks like a big slush puppy. Is there a reason you guys choose those chokers for the dogs as opposed to those chokers that don't have prongs? I could help to "soften" their image. |
Re: Meet the Michael Vick Dogs Today at Georgia SPCA
Pinch or "prong" collar it is actually a gentle tool for training many dogs with little or no tugging, jerking, or pulling.
"slip" collars :A harsh jerk with a slip collar can damage a dog's trachea. For a well-trained dog with super high prey drive and a tendancy to bolt, I would recommend a prong and not a choke chain. Choke chains don't stop the pulling, they just do what their name implies - "choke". You never correct or jerk a dog wearing a prong collar, as the dog corrects himself while wearing it. {study taken from http://www.cobankopegi.com/prong.html} A Study on Prong Collars was done in Germany: * 100 dogs were in the study. 50 used choke and 50 used prong. * The dogs were studied for their entire lives. As dogs died, autopsies were performed. * Of the 50 which had chokes, 48 had injuries to the neck, trachea, or back. 2 of those were determined to be genetic. The other 46 were caused by trauma. * Of the 50 which had prongs, 2 had injuries in the neck area, 1 was determined to be genetic. 1 was caused by trauma. |

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I brought it up because people have mentioned to me before that the prong collars make the dogs look mean or harder to control.
