Seriously didn't mean for you take it as talking shit
It's my opinion on a pet vs. a strictly working dog. I can't stand trying to humanely control a pet that has a prong collar in place.
I'm not judging you or talking shit about you. I just don't agree. I can control any domesticated animal well with a snugly fit collar and an "easy walk harness" or "Gentle Leader."
If they can't be controlled with that, they either lack training, missed a critical training window in their lives, or are simply meant to be a loaded weapon (police, guard dog etc.)
Not trying to preach. I have no doubt you love your pets and take great care of them.
I did love Narta's comment through about dog parks and that being a "human form" of dog interaction...spot on. We try to anthropomorphize our pets and assume they want the same kind of interactions we want.
Hell, Im (mostly) human and I'd probably want to tear the throat out of random strangers at the park if I was forced to go every day..lol. (we and our dogs are all wired a little differently...haha)

Everyone who wanted to talk shit to me about the collar, Lee priest who I’ve followed for years has 2 thick am staff’s I’m. Pretty sure boy and girl. Not staffies? He tryed to put both leashes in one hand and walk the dogs, the dogs not even aggressive got excited and tore his whole shoulder, and this is a strong jacked lifetime bodybuilder. Still looks great for his age. “ watch this video”
