[quote=Anonymous]I have two good friends who are older and they have a 70 pound rescue.  One of them can walk the dog while the other keeps getting pulled down. The one that gets pulled down uses a prong collar.  I am trying to convince them not to do so and I found this interesting article about it.  I don't know why the one senior can't just walk the dog.

I have a mildly difficult dog but, I've chosen not to use aversive methods to cause him pain.  It saddens me when I see people with very easy dogs ( goldens etc) get punished harshly for doing normal dog things ( like bark excitedly at another dog)  Why do people get dogs if they only want them to act like robots?  They force them on walks but, don't allow them to sniff.  They yell or use harsh corrections when they didn't properly teach them in the first place!  I think the majority of people want dogs to be trained really quickly and that's why they use these harsh punishments.  But they don't care about the feelings of the dog  And for that I blame the dogs we see on tv who are always behaved and fade into the background when we don't need them.
