PETA is such a fucking joke. Prong collars are not cruel or in humane when used properly. When they aren’t used properly is when safety becomes a problem. The collars are designed to evenly distributed out any pressure throughout the neck rather than having it all centered on one location. The only time the collar would ever truly hurt is either because an owner is over correcting their dog (which can happen with any tool) or the dog does something very unruly and corrects itself (which can also happen with any tool). However, there’s also a limit to how tight these collars can get when being pulled on, so it doesn’t just keep getting tighter and tighter.

These collars are also places high on the neck, no lower than mid-neck and ideally directly behind the ears and jaw. Having it up higher is what also contributes to its safety. It stimulates the feeling a dog being corrected the way a mother dog would. Not only that, but it takes it off the most vulnerable part of the neck.

I personally prefer prong collars over harnesses. Harnesses really don’t stop the pulling, but it gives both you and the dog more control. It makes it easier for the dog to pull, but easier for you to control said dog. Prong collars not only help with pulling but open up a doorway for me to get the dog’s attention to start training. Prongs aren’t meant to be a tool to control the dog, but rather to train the dog. So many people forget that part. Training is key.

Harnesses or gentle leaders come with their own set of problems that make them no more humane than a prong collar. Harnesses can trip dogs, cause various sprains throughout the body, frustrate the dog and stress them out. Depending on where it’s clipped to the leash also poses issues. A Y-shaped harness that attaches to the back is the safest harness to use. Front-clipping ones are horrible IMO, because when the dog pulls too hard and turns itself around, the dog is likely to get injured.

Gentle leaders I hate solely because there’s nothing gentle about controlling a dog with its face. If you have an unruly dog with high prey drive or reactivity or aggression and it decides to bolt, you’re going to be possibly looking at sprained neck muscles, a broken nose, ect. I’m sure they’re fine for dogs who aren’t unruly and don’t have behavioral issues, but I just personally don’t like them.
