HOW TO INTRODUCE THE PRONG COLLAR!! NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!

- In this video I demonstrate my favorite way of introducing the Prong Collar to my dog. This will be a very important tool in our training journey, so I make sure it is introduced in a way that creates motivation and trust! An appropriate age to introduce the collar is this way can greatly vary. Regardless, the bottom line should be POSITIVE ASSOCIATION with any training equipment being introduced! In my case, this pup was about 5-6 months old when I introduced the prong collar to him.
I am training the prong collar to ACTIVATE the dog and actually be an ON switch. This means that when the dog feels pressure from the collar, they don't think "uh oh", but rather it propels them into the asked behavior with enthusiasm! THE DOG HAVING THE ABILITY TO WORK/ THINK THROUGH PRESSURE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE TO A LARGER PUZZLE!!
This method will produce a dog who works with more enthusiasm and reliability BECAUSE of the Prong Collar training!!
DISCLAIMER: This training tool is my personal preference. I do NOT expect everybody to share the same opinion as me and that is totally fine! I have many trainer friends who are all positive and I respect them and their methods very much. Not everyone needs to use this collar to achieve training results!

Apologies for the bad audio at times!! We will continue to improve our equipment to prevent this in the future!
Love, love, LOVE this video. All the stupid, uneducated folks out there trying to ban the prong collar (and other tools) need to watch this. Bravo, Andy 👏🏻
Andy - I don't think there are any other trainers that make me laugh so much whilst delivering loads of interesting info and great tips at the same time. Love your energy and enthusiasm in all your videos!
Never seen a prong used like this and it's amazing! Refreshing! And entertaining! Thank you!
Thanks so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
FANTASTIC video !!! Every single person that even has a thought about the prong needs to see this video !!
Agree! 🙌🏻
Man, You Sure Know what you are doing .. Thank you and congrats!! Can't wait for next videos !! From Portugal with Love
Thanks so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Super job ! Thanks Andy
Great Video, Teaching the dog to love the prong collar. Dog sees it; ... "Oh, goodie. We are going to doo something fun!"
Clever method! I never saw this method ever. I was thinking to introduce the prong for my pup, as an off switch, and I was surfing on web to make my homework before put it on the dog. I will look forward to your video. Thank you Andy!
Thank YOU! Glad I can help 🙏🏼
Fantastic how you introduce the 'prong' collar, positive association; food reward. And as you frequently emphasize, the dog is receiving mental exercise.
Often times the prong is implemented out of frustration or as a ‘last resort’. Then the dog is immediately punished for a behavior they don’t even know. One of the main reasons this tool is demonized.
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Best dog training videos.💪
Thanks
I love this!
Great energy bud. Very inspiring to train my rescue.
Thank you Andy for these clips, my Mal loves her prong , she knows what time it is when it come out.
OMG this dog is so gorgeous!
Thanks
Excellent explanation of the concept of activation.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Simple. Short. Effective. No Non-sense.
It's refreshing to have content like this, that doesn't require an hour of pandering caution's to the ignorant and theoretical monologues. This is all you need on this topic to start successfully.
The only thing I think was missing was a quick comment to send pet owners in the right direction if they decide to use this method (as it's optimal), because you acknowledged them. Maybe either an alternative channel (potential cross pollination opportunity?), or mentioning an alternative solution without going into explanation, or a future video targeting the problem (wink wink nudge nudge, but I understand that might not be something you are interested in).
Thanks for the video, your work is appreciated! god bless
Well done, brother!
Started checking your videos today and its fun, its good info, I love it!!
Thank you
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Great stuff man thx for that
Man, you are amazing. You earned a subscriber. Love your attitude. God bless you.

Wow i really needed this
Greeting from Panamá🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦 ,excellent work , I really liked that way of putting the collar on the dog , good techique , it does not conflict with the dog. 👍👍👍👍👍
Greeting! Thank you for watching! 🙌🏻
How many videos are out there covering activation conditioning the ecollar?! Yet, first ever I’ve seen on the prong! We’ve done the positive association intro, but stopped there. Andy, proving the horizons of our vocation are ever broadening! Brilliant, brother!
Love hearing that 🙏🏼 Thank you very much!
Happy training! 🙌🏻
Great work 👏
Awesome video Andy!
Great training! Thanks for putting this content out here for us. Really loving this channel and your training style. Much respect!!
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Hi sir I love this video thanks for making long video
Absolutely
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I use the prong for the off switch.really looking forward to your Negative reinforcement and positive punishment video!!
Thank you 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
Same. Ready for the video also
Thanks - just ordered my 2,25 mm today :-)
Thank you!
🙏🏼
I love you and your dogs 🤗🤗
Thanks
Thanks Andy , , ,

Amazing video.
Thank you, Andy!
My Malinois (Saiko, she is 7 months old now) loves it. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Greeting and thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Happy training with Saiko 🙏🏼
@@AndyKrueger 🐾🙏
just got a prong for my 120lb bullmastiff Red.
our walks are getting tight!!
and last nighti left it on him for a bit when we got home, he fell asleep with it on, couldnt have cared a bit about it lol
dont be afraid to talk to your dog!!!
i from israel, you so good!!, im learn a lot from you!
Hey Andy, you are one of my favorite dog training channels! I have seen a lot of research that any kind of collar pressure is enough to harm the dogs neck and nerves, how would you convince someone that uses harness only? Thank you
Nice training technique.
🙏🏼
MUY BUENO DESDE ESPAÑA TOLEDO ERES UN MAQUINA
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Os teus acessorios sao de acelente qualidade no brasil nao tem nada pra cachorro um bom dia parabens pelos trabalhos
I don't know who has more energy you or your dog haha but it's great stuff keep it up and you'll pass all those boring channels
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
Agree..I also use 2,25mm.n all of my Mals are enthusiast when i hold the prong.they all were like "Use it on Me (Bark),Me(Bark),Me(Bark)..."
love to see its intro as a communication tool not as a punisher to ban
Totally agree 🙏🏼
Mine love the prong collar. All I have to do is get it out and they both sit down and know it’s time to work or socialize
That’s awesome! Nice work 🙌🏻
buuummm...
So far I have always thought that the use of the prong collar is rather negative.
I am very happy to see that someone is using this tool in a positive way.
great video thank you
Thanks for checking it out 🙌🏻
Great puppy, great work! Ho is the breeder?
Trouble with the prong because of carpal tunnel syndrome. But I heard there’s a thing called Katie buckles which really work well with the prong collar and makes it easy to get them on and lock them up
True! 🙏🏼
Great video! Audio feedback- Get yourself a lav mic brother, the volume was all over the place with you bobbing and weaving in and out, but good energy no doubt.
Great video and method. I notice you use a very thin leash. Is that for a reason or just preference?
Do you just like how the 2.25 fits vs the 3.0?
Great video can u do a video on how to condition a special collar so the dog knows when it’s time to work and put full energy and power, instead of putting full energy and power into everything it would be better to condition a special collar so the dog understands to go nuts
Thanks
Sir first of all I love your videos love your training with your dogs. Just have a question does 2.25mm prong can be use to a 5 months old rotty?
Yes absolutely. I use 2.25 with every dog I train 🙌🏻
Just curious if you only feed kibble instead of raw? Can you make a video of your dogs nutrition. That’s equally important. Love the vids tho
Thanks for the video. I am also curious if this method wouldn't confuse the dog when used for correcting? I understand what you are training but not sure how to use it without confusion? On switch, then Off switch but he thinks it's on time again??
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
In my training system, I never use the prong as an off switch, and never use it to punish, so there is never any confusion. I am also very aware of all situations I put my dog in to prevent setting them up for failure and ‘needing correction.’ I will elaborate on this concept in future videos! 🙌🏻
@@AndyKrueger Thank you. I do like that this method improves the reaction time and determination to go after something. Kind of works like an E-collar if done correctly.
@@myhypermotard8351 Exactly 👍🏻
@@AndyKrueger Andy! Have you made the video on this concept yet? Really am interested in your style but I've always used corrections and pressure along with rewards so I'd like to learn more from your system. 🙏
@@ECK26 Thanks
Working on stuff but no nothing done yet 🙏🏼
Love your videos but Freddy must be very hungry. My dog was only this excited about his kibble when he was up 5 months.
Is a dog being hungry bad??
Is it similar to the e collar in which your using light stimulation with the prong in the beginning but when the dog understands the behavior but decides not to do it, you can go up on the pressure of the prong
Yes you could say that 👌🏼
Hey Andy. Which Herm Sprenger prong collar did you use? They have several on their website, just not sure which one to get?
2.25 mm 👍🏻
Cool. I will look into it. I really want to send my pup to you, I am just trying to get the funds together for the boarding.
@@jeremynewby5979 Awesome, thank you 🙏🏼
Amazing amazing vid!!!
What kind of dry dog food are you using.
Thank you! This is Acana 👍🏻
@@AndyKrueger Acana is great, my vet said to avoid dog food with peas. Acana has some foods with and with out peas. They cause heart issues. I use the duck and pear or the duck and pumpkin or the beef. No peas in those. The puppy one has peas, sadly. Great content man. Also I use honest foods treats. They have some that are small bits of chicken and salmon.
@@kilo3o3 Thanks for the info! 🙏🏼
👍🏻
Morning , love your videos..
At what age do you introduce the prong collar? 🤔
When the dog is ready 👍🏻
From Argentina. Great video on a topic I couldn't find no where. I can get that brand in my country, however, I can't get e collars right now for importation restrictions. Is it possible to get to such a high standard without an e collar?
Another big one. How do you teach NOT taking food from the ground or strangers?
It’s possible if the environment can be properly controlled. If you build your engagement properly and shape the behaviors you want, you’ll never have to teach what you don’t want 👍🏻
What is the right prong collar size for our BM? 2.25mm, 3.2mm or 4.0mm?
2.25 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video ! Question: when is the best time to introduce the prong collar ?
A long time ago I asked that same question to one of my favorite dog trainers. He said, ‘when the dog is ready.’ 😆
Not exactly specific! But very true.
Usually somewhere between 6-12 months is an appropriate time BUT, of course totally depends on the dog and trainer 🙏🏼
6 to 12 months but what to do before ?
Dude!! Do you mix crack into that kibble?? 😂😂😂
Haha! Seems like it! 😂
I just develop a relationship with him and his food in a way that makes him achieve maximum motivation! 🙌🏻
My Tervuren isn’t interested in his food! Used to be around 16 weeks but now 6 months and doesn’t eat much at all! I wonder if it’s because I hand fed him initially to teach him but now he prefers toys but won’t eat from a bowl!
@@convidtruthshallout It’s very likely he is just over fed. I’d cut his good down by 1/2 for 1 week 👍🏻
Beautiful pup, I have a Dutchie. What leash is that?
Sorry I forget!
What type of leash do you use
What website can i find the prong collar
Why though? What purpose does it serve? could you not do this with a verbal or physical command, or a flat collar? Genuinely curious.
Sorry I’m not sure I understand the question..
What kind of kibble are you using?
Honestly I forget. Totally doesn’t matter though 👍🏻
My dog is only on slip and e collar and I have never really tried prong with him. Great video!
Nice 👍🏻
I like the dog to be well versed on the prong, whether it’s ‘needed’ or not 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
What about feeding when you working him I know it’s not a breed that’s predisposed to bloat but for example a German Shepherd that would be a worry feeding him all through the training session even though it’s a little bit out of time I usually feed my guy in the morning and then at night and he hast to be used right after I feed him I have to find a way to either have him throw up the food cause don’t wanna work on the type of scenario on a full stomach with a shepherd any thoughts please when you get a chance if possible I am thinking about getting the mail but I’m not sure I’m 65 and working dogs all my life but I’m not as spry as I used to be I’ve been bitten probably 15 times are usually my fault but sometimes you can young handlers can be careless and they usually hear from me after the carelessness lost part of the thumb doing muzzle training but I always came back but now I wanna do some stuff that is just for my guys even though my guy I always had a dog had to do everything they do it was probably the best friend of all of them however I’m not sure I wanna do sport work because after doing some of the others sport work is great and it is fantastic the dogs are fantastic at it but it’s more like a dance a pre-rehearsed dance where his canine work is more like a bar room brawl and that was the fun part setting up scenarios it was absolutely crazy
How early would you introduce a prong or e-collar to your dog?
Do you go more into detail about this on your Patroen?
Not yet no.
where do you buy your leader leashs?
Sorry I’m not sure
If you are introducing tools the way that you do which I 💯 % agree with then how to do fix a dog from pulling so hard on just a simple loose leash walk with tools?
I don’t love the word ‘fix’. It Implies there is a problem. No problem, dog needs to be taught and motivated how to walk more calmly. I’d develop high food drive and start from there. Reward every check in and everytime the dog is not pulling. This is step 1. Also the situations the dog is put in depending on their skills is everything! You’ve likely tried to progress to much too fast and set the dog up for failure. Scale back and build up to that 👍🏻
@@AndyKrueger thanks Andy. Also can count on you!
How tight should the prong collar be
It should fit like a watch 👍🏻
What age do you suggest to add the prong collar
When the dog is ready. There is no general age because every dog and trainer is different.
Cada treino mais bonito
how early can the dog use the prong collar?
6-12 months old
can anybody put a link as to were i can buy a genuine herm sprenger prong collar from please. i just had 1 delivered and its a fake. much appreciated. brilliant video andy.

@@keegwright7089 Thank you 🙏🏼
what does he eat?
So far you have shown in a very nice video how you trained your Belgian Milan Lahana to grow up.
Sir, watching your video has boosted my confidence a lot
Please upload a step by step video on how to do ring level training
Thanks ( INDIA )🙏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
It wouldn’t be possible to teach complete ring training on CZcams, but I will continue to make videos and do the best I can 👍🏻
Thanks for watching
@@AndyKrueger 🙏
I swear when I put the prong collar on my dog he is less stressed. I don't have to force him to calm down. He walks calm and is less aggressive. He saw a cat today and for the first time wasn't trying to go after it without me choking him.
How old must the dog be to introduce the prong collar??
No general number
Whenever the dog is ready 🙏🏼
Sometimes it could be 5-6 months old, sometimes closer to 9-12 months 👍🏻
This dog is tall or the guy is short?
He’s tall and I’m short 😂😂
Is there a collar that injects a sedative to the dog's neck, that's all mine needs. But I do respect your style.
Aversive is aversive even if you shovel down a treat afterwards
What’s wrong with aversives?
You guys may think I lie my dog training his self watch Andy videos
Herm Springer made in Germany. Meanwhile in Germany, prongs are forbidden... 😭
,
Australia just banned these .. You're dog is intelligent you do not need a collar like this to train it
Ok I’ll throw them all away immediately!
@@AndyKrueger Great vos over here a Breeder wouldn't sell you one of their pups if you use these methods . I've owned Belgians for most of my life...the one thing that's special about a Belgian ...the more you interact the more they learn I've watched your training videos and thoroughly enjoy and find them very smart 👍...prong collars on a Mal it's not necessary as you know they're very smart and where you might use this without inflicting to much pain ..you know some idiot watching this will do serious harm...anyone out there using this method .. really shouldn't own a Belgian ...as clearly you don't understand the breed .
@@jacquicullen8106 I’d love to see videos of you training your dogs! Since you’re so knowledgeable, I’m sure you have at least one video of you training 🤞🏼
How early would you introduce a prong or e-collar to your dog?
You cannot put a number on this. The prong is a FINISHING tool. So whenever the dog is ready and knows all commands thoroughly 👍🏻
