I love my prong collar. I purchased it from K-9 Toolbox, on-line. It's a Herm Sprenger Coran, I think! I could not control Biscuit without a prong on a walk. And, we prong at home and in training classes. I have put the prong around my arm and pulled, it only puts pressure and does not poke into you. I don't think there is any problems with using it. I see a lot of big dogs with prongs. They are like power steering for the dog.
I also make Biscuit sit before anyone can address him. I has helped tremendously in his jumping up on people. While training, I step on his leash so he cannot jump up. I tell people that he has to sit before they can pet him. So, far it has worked. Today, he sat when we greeted someone (without me even saying it
).
Good luck. Training and consistency is my key. And, lots of exercise.
