[quote=Anonymous]If the dog can pull the elderly person down, it's not safe for them to walk it regardless of the equipment. The prong collar is offering them a false sense of security. Re: 'aversives' in training - in a perfect world, everyone would have the time and patience (not to mention knowledge and/or support) to train their dogs using scientifically-informed, positive-reinforcement-based methods. But we don't live in a perfect world. If a prong collar means a rescue dog gets an otherwise loving home with plenty of walks - and maybe eventually the family transitions to a harness once they get all that walking practice! - then I'd say it's a net positive. That said, I agree with you that many, if not most, dog owners are a combination of lazy and poorly informed and do not train OR manage their dogs well at all.[/quote]
