We use a metal prong collar on our Diamond, and let me tell you....the difference is night and day!!

When we first started our walks... I thought she was gonna rip my arm out of it's socket too! Our obedience class instructor recommended a prong collar and we saw an immediate difference. Now, after being trained on the prong collar, she knows how to walk properly.

On a side note, under the same conversation, we started to go to the off leash park. Using the prong collar for regular training has enabled us to "heel" Diamond while walking down the path without a leash. She still bolts, or tries to ....when she sees another dog, but we try to see the dog first and release her. She thinks we're still doing it! LOL
