My son, Jeff, is learning to be a decoy. The past two weekends we have had our friends here at our new training center for a fun weekend of work. Mark Keating from Red Star Kennels in Hudson, WI and Forrest Micke from Rintininn near Appleton, WI, have been helping Jeff learn decoy skills. In this video, you will see Jeff work Donna Matey's dog, Jackson, and my 17 month old mal puppy, Bart. Both Mark and Forrest are helping Jeff learn the skills needed to work Jackson, who is a three time National Mondioring 3 champion. Jackson is a very well trained dog. He is also a very tough dog, several years ago Jackson broke a decoy's leg in multiple places. He takes Jeff to the ground twice in this video.

The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong.

How to Fit a Prong Collar

How to Measure Your Dog For a Keeper Collar

Important
Leerburg strongly recommends using a backup collar any time you use a prong collar. Prong collars can come apart (especially if not fit properly). With a backup collar, you can ensure that your dog will remain leashed. We recommend using a Dominant Dog Collar as a backup. Paired alongside with the Prong Collar Leash, your backup leash won't interfere with prong collar corrections. A retractable leash should not be used with prong collars.
