The most I generally train with is a Gentle Leader and filter the dog over to a premier 
collar.  I haven't used a prong in many many years.  I watched a prong collar come 
apart and turn a situation really into a mess between 2 dogs when the prong came 
apart.  Prongs are training tools and it's the trainer behind the tools whether they are 
using the tools wisely and the way they should be.  I heard about the "Good Dog 
Collar" on a clicker list I'm on.  I haven't used it or tried it so I can't comment on the 
collar.  Just letting you know there's another training collar option out there for use.
