Fit the collar high on the dog’s neck, just behind the ears and under the jaw
Make sure the collar is snug enough that it does not slide down the neck
Add or remove links so the collar fits properly
Attach the leash to the collar’s rings evenly
Use the collar only during training sessions or controlled walks
Hold the leash with light tension, not constant pressure
Give a brief, gentle correction if the dog pulls
Release pressure immediately when the dog returns to the desired position
Keep sessions short and calm
Monitor the dog for signs of discomfort or distress
Remove the collar when training is finished
Consult a professional trainer before using a prong collar
