Whats with all the comments lately about prong collars?! Two Pitties in the City got a mean one too!
The skillet idea could work, but it’s so heavy to lug around!
Why is everybody commenting on the skillet? Obviously mom is just doing her aerobics. I can see that the real training tool is the poodle strategically tied to Loki to provide a bit of drag when he gets zoomies.
Hate to think how much maple syrup I need to send you for those flapjacks!

PeeS: The truth is finally out. We now know how you got those nicely toned-up arms, Mrs Wild Dingo. Yoga ?! HA…
hah – another word I hadn’t heard much of before…skillet? Is that like a iron frying pan? 😛
I think different tools for different situations & dogs – you shouldn’t make blanket generalisations & judgements until you have been in the same situation yourself and are able to prove an alternatve worked better…plus a tool is only as good as its user. Sadly, those that abuse tools give those that use them properly a bad name…
At first in GR I thought the title said Skittles.. that would be another way maybe. Moose had a prong collar when I adopted him and I was horrified but now that I understand how they are properly used I get it. I still don’t use one because of the reaction it provokes (either you have a vicious dog or you are a cruel person) which I know makes me a coward. Instead I use a ‘gentle leader’ which only provokes the ‘you have a vicious dog’ response since most everyone thinks it is a muzzle. Oh well. After Moose got bit by another dog because I could not effectively control him I realized I did not care what people thought. Let me know how your skillet method works and maybe we will switch…

Not a good Idea. Sorry. Skillets are for LICKIN’. I’m just sayin’.
Houndstooth says:
Well, I suppose it depends on what you want to train him to do! If you’re looking for a dishwasher, it’d do the trick!
MAXDOG says:
LOL! That’s a training too used by wives! My my! Will have to try it on King Toffee! BOL!
Mack says:

PeeS: Why don’t y’all come over for some pawgheritas?!?

Where is Juno? Licking the other pots and pans?
The OP Pack says:
It would work well here if you fill it with some good eggs and sausage.
