The episode digs into the pros and cons of different collars and harnesses, the different types of options available such as prong collars and shock collars, and the best time to start training your pet. Corless and Kiser also discuss little-known facts such as dog harnesses are used by professional trainers not to train but to create frustration or excitement in the dog. "Harnesses were designed originally to teach dogs to pull things," says Kiser. "It invokes what is called 'opposition reflex' which is basically the natural pulling behavior."
