Dog training equipments

A Study on Prong Collars and Choke 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.

I've watched a couple of the Leerburg videos, and they discourage against use of choke chains, since the pinch point is localized and is prone to cause long term damage on that one spot where the chain tightens. Whereas on the prong collar, the pressure is evenly distributed. He even goes to say that using a prong collar is like "power steering in dogs".

There is a wealth of information on this you can find on the net, and it is up to each individual to assess and evaluate the information. As for me, I am inclined to try out the prong collar as I've been using a choke chain (for lack of better information sa una).

Pooldee, may i know asa ta makapalit aning imong mga gi post nga pics of the prong collar? Thanks.
