Are prong and choke collars really harmless? In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I am Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant at Pawfect Training Academy.

I explain the truth behind these outdated and painful tools and why positive reinforcement is the kindest and most effective way to train your dog.

Learn about the physical and emotional damage caused by aversive collars, how fear affects behaviour, and why science-based, force-free training is always the better choice for long-term trust and success.

🐶 You will learn:

• The risks and side-effects of prong and choke collars

• How punishment increases fear and anxiety

• Why dogs learn faster through positive reinforcement

• Practical steps to move away from aversive tools

• How kindness and science build stronger relationships
