Dog Training - Pinch/Prong Collar Explained (Hunkie part 4)

[kayynico]

haha @9:15...he has an itch :)

[therealjaycool001]

look at the dog in the bake ground at 9.15

[Z3V3N7]

The neck twister. Lmao Good video man, keep it up.

Thank you for the video and information. My chusky was pulling so hard I didn't like walking him anymore. Neighbor had a pinch collar but it looked medieval, but after watching your vid I tried one. Made a world of difference! He still tugs a little at times, but barely. No more yanking my arm like it's going to come out of the socket. Even when a squirrel or rabbit comes by, he doesn't yank anymore. And he does not yelp or seem to be bothered by it. Sits nice so I can put it on him.

9:16 :,DDDDDDDDDD

[gacknoops]

Mike it's 2:00 am...did you come straight from the bar put on the suit and make this video or did you have the suit on at the bar?

I have a mastiff that can't be walked without one of these collars. Not because he pulls or leads, he's just so dumb that voice commands have to be repeated so many times it becomes annoying. Using the prong collar the big idiot responds more like a dog with a fully functioning brain. I like the dog training guys videos, keep up the good work.

@Tutovillage I know you're just being friendly and didn't mean any harm, but the word is Inuit, and some people might find that reference offensive. Not to be a bummer, it's just that the word Eskimo is considered rude, just as using the term Negro can be.

[eleanorcpost]

also, why would a dog suit make him look like an "eskimo"?

[Tutovillage]

@eleanorcpost I didn't know that :) Thanks +1

[oopalonga]

I like how you let the dog use the collar on yourself. I used to think pronged collars were evil--esp. considering all the negative hype around them. Then I got frustrated reading all the conflicting reviews and just decided to try it on my own neck--and sure enough, it wasn't that bad. In fact, the choke collar was what sucked.

Anyhow, peace :)

[Hudson2012]

how is euthanazia cruel? Does this guy ever get to the point or does he just keep talking in circles, repeating himself and making us wait for what we clicked on this to watch. This is stupid. Letting the dog use it on you? Whats wrong with this guy? No wonder they didnt want the dog sent to you. You are nuts.

[k91dogtraining]

@Hudson2012 I may be nuts but the dog is alive. It is sad isn't it, that it takes a guy in a dog suit to value his life?

[ProphetGuardian]

@Hudson2012 Are you serious?! Why don't you take an injection that knocks you out and stop your heart.

[phazon1029]

@Hudson2012 This guy might be crazy but him and his team truly are the best at what they do. How many people do you know can rehabilitate a pitbull used for fighting? or a rottweiler that doesnt like to be touched? They are the first that I have ever seen to do it, everyone else just chooses to put them to sleep. I have crazy respect for what they do as do a ton of their viewers im sure.

[phazon1029]

Your craziness is the reason I love your videos so much, you make these training videos fun!

[Hudson2012]

why is he dressed like that

[fattymoko]

Advice spot on. Video, long winded, repetitive and unscripted. Could have said it AND demonstrated.

[rebelcowgirl2007]

lol @ 9:07

[MrSCPhoenix]

at 9:07 he talks about a collar he calls the neck twister... take a look at what the dog is doing at that point ^^

[mcp28]

I like the "gently necklace" LOL.

[AndrewJThomas97]

dude at the beggining of the movie i thought u lost a bet

[EuphoriaDreamer]

My Mom first tried to use the gentle leader on her dog to try and train him not to pull on the leash. Good sweet mike he hated that thing. He would hide under the table whenever she brought it out, which says a lot since he LOVES walks. She then decided to try the pinch collar and it worked wonders, and her dog would walk right into it as she put it on him.

[bombathreats]

is this okay using prong collar for my standard size chihuahua?

[mariah1397]

@bombathreats Yes, that would be absolutely fine. You'd just have to get a smaller one.

[Dutchessbelle]

Remember every tool has the potential to be dangerous. The trainers at the clicker school I went to don't even recommend using gentle leaders. Easywalk and Sensation harnesses are the new thing. Those don't always allow enough control like my mom's 80lbs dog that wants to kill cats.

[Dutchessbelle]

Then I started using correction. The prong was the most effective tool for her in addition to rewards for the correct behavior after correction. She even comes up to me to put it on. She is not bothered by it and knew the commands before we started using it so she knows what is expected and should be doing. She is now a very friendly girl and more secure now that I have given her better guidance. I'm working with a friend with a GSD that is also doing well with the prong.

[Dutchessbelle]

I started training my German Shepherd using clicker and purely positive methods like taught by karen pryor. By the age of 1 yr my dog was a nightmare, she was jumping on people, barking, and acting protective in any situation that made her uncomfortable. The rewards from positive methods were not more rewarding for her than her behavior. These are self rewarding behaviors. I'd put on a gentle leader and she would shut down, forging ahead and pulling.

[nezumi102]

There is nothing wrong with a prong collar if used properly. It doesn't harm or hurt if used correctly. Matter of fact, I've put it on myself on various body parts just to make sure, and it's fine. Like he said, no hard corrections. In reality, with this collar,the dog essentially corrects himself. I've used Chokers,and I've used Gentle Leads on my dog. The choker is just bad news, and the Gentle Lead can be 'strong necked' and can actually cause a lot of damage to the dog.

[QWILDER]

LOLOLOL 7:00 

[QWILDER]

LOLOLOLOLOL!!! This was awesome! 7:00 Best demonstration I ever seen!!!!! WOW!!

[HowToGetFreebies]

Amazing video, great explanation and argument for prong haters!

[adbms]

No matter what people think about ANY tool, its how it's used that matters. Bottom line: if your not comfortable with it, don't do it; if you are... Then go ahead. Like the guy said, respect is important.

[HarveyMorritt]

Why would you use pain infliction on an aggressive dog? Try some science backed facts to work with aggressive dogs - idiot.

Go and get some education on psychology and training.

Have you ever heard of Karen Pryor?

[jerrygdawg]

Love the ruff cut, you're funny!

[musicofnote1]

I wonder why it is hat people like Emma Parsons, Patricia McConnell, Jean Donaldson, Brenda Aloff, Sophia Yin to name a few do NOT use pinch collars, chokers or other aversives to rehab extreme aggressive dogs - thousands of them? I wonder why Robert Milner and Steve White, just to name 2 do not find it necessary to use aversives to train S&R and service dogs?

I wonder why you don't study THEIR methods instead of inflicting more pain and suffering. Aversives "work", but what about the fallout?

[crysania4]

I have to say that you're crazy, but your videos are a lot of fun to watch. While I tend to shy away from prong collars, thank you for taking a whole video to explain why you use them and how you use them, especially that RESPECT it the A#1 thing for you. The best moment was your allowing Hunkie to tug on the leash while you had the prong collar on to demonstrate poor usage of the collar.

[amstudioma]

what's the deal with the dog suit? Does it make him more comfortable? I have been involved with animals of all kinds for over 30 years, and very have seen this method. If it works, I would like to see more.

[crysania4]

He says in a different video that he does it to prove to Hunkie that he won't do anything to him that he won't do to himself. Odd, yes. But funny!

[sixnahgifts]

ok do anther hit theres a rock on your nose

[Rojas209]

Cool video...very true people always think pinch collars are bad

[AgilityAddict56]

I just want to add something (Darn my must get in my POV) that another bad thing about using the Gentle leader on an aggressive dog is that, if the dog lunges, it will pull the muzzle back and could easily snap the dogs neck or cause some serious injury.

Haha Neck twister and Gentle Necklace.. I'm going to use that now!

[Sabot46290]

Wonderful on all accounts. I've taken to heart your adage on not using anything on the dog that you wouldn't use on yourself. Thanks for the "Gentle necklace" suggestion, by the way...my dog no longer wears her 'evil' pinch collar!

Any updates on Hunkie? He looks just like my old dog (who happened to be aggressive as well when we adopted him), but more Lab-like!

[MetaKittie]

My dog is a pro about getting out of haltis.

Give her 5 seconds and she'll be out of it.

[k9trainer2]

excellent information. Hunkie is in good hands.All the best.Waiting for the next video in his training.

[strangelittlegirl27]
