Reactivity & Prong Collar Training
Reactivity and Redirecting Training with a Prong Collar Before introducing the prong, you’ll need to work on him being able to stay still long enough for you to secure, change tightness, and get the prong collar on him. I recommend using a loop lead for this portion, or placing the leash clip through the handle, and using that as a loop lead.

Or maybe you want a few jingle balls for your kitty, only to look to see you have to spend $5 for just a few!

The Struggles of Fostering
If you are at a time in your life when you are not able to adopt an animal and make the commitment to stand with them for the rest of their lives, fostering is a good thing to turn towards. It allows you to help an animal, care for them, and give them all the love and attention they deserve before going to their forever homes.
