I wouldn't use a prong collar on a beagle. I think they work better on bigger breeds. We used a chain (choke) on Tucker just for training purposes. Otherwise we use a harness for him. I am trying to just use the harness for the girls as the chain occasionally choked Tucker when he was insistant on sniffing something despite the chain. I tug on the harness and it seems to get the same message accross, just not as quickly. We NEVER use the regular collars to take the dogs for walks. It is too easy for them to choke and they can come off.
