In this episode of Think Like a Dog, we're joined by Ridge from Pack Leader University for a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood training tools out there: the prong collar. Ridge breaks down how prong collars actually work, when and how to use them properly, and why they’re often unfairly labeled as harsh. We explore key topics like proper fit, conditioning, and the responsibility of the handler in creating a safe and effective training experience. Ridge also shares real-life examples, highlights the importance of tool quality, and explains when prong collars might not be the right choice. Plus, we discuss the transition between tools, the role of mindset in training, and why taking a holistic, dog-and-human-centered approach always wins. Whether you’re skeptical or curious, this episode challenges assumptions and offers valuable insight for any dog lover.
