Dog Harness: Harnesses are for pulling, not obedience. Exception (rare) a small fragile dog that using a collar would not be appropriate.

Dog Collars: 1. Flat; 2. Martingale; 3. Choker; 4. Prong; 5. E-Collar;
The dog tells me which collar is appropriate for proper heeling.

People occasionally ask me over the phone, "Should I bring a prong collar for him?" I tell them, "After I evaluate him, I'll know what he needs." The Dog tells me what collar he/she needs.
On average, it takes me about 5 minutes to have a dog heeling properly. This is without conflict, and little correction.

When training a dog, I want him/her to be happy during the session. Remember, a calm handler equals a calm dog. An angry, frustrated, emotional handler ends up in conflict. When working in conflict, nothing will go well. This causes stress and confusion. Important, when a dog is stressed, it can't learn anything. It's important to understand the difference between stress and stubbornness. If you correct a stressed dog; it will result in more stress.

The way I communicate with a dog, how I change my voice is 50% of the training. This is very hard for the average client; most talk in monotone or too much volume. Dogs hear really great; God gave them big ears.

God Bless .... 'Love Your Dog'.
