No none of that I have never had this problem before with any of my previous dogs.

I had him on a choker chain and then recently upgraded to a prong collar. the problem I am having is that his whole walk is based on where is that other dog. When he sees one he starts going nuts such as doing the barrel roll to get away and a high pitched whine, just acting like a maniac. I want to put a stop to it because i want him to enjoy his walk and also it looks real bad since he is a pit. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance

This is exactly how My one year old Buddy is, and we are actually doing training and learning how to correctly use a prong collar, but the only bad thing about Buddy is that he won't take treats when he is too excited, doesn't matter what it is, he does not care. It's definitely a pain in the butt, we walk ways where i know he won't have any distractions but were slowly getting there. I posted here with the same problem and there are it feels like a million different things to try and training but I learned that you have to find out which one works for you and your dog the best, so I would start with the one you feel will work the best and go from there. Goodluck!
A formal statement of the Premack principle is as follows: high-probability behaviors (those performed frequently under conditions of free choice) can be used to reinforce low-probability behaviors.

We discussed this in another thread, talking about using Premack for fence fighting.
But I use this when I'm teaching loose leash walking too...(or training numerous other things). If the dog wants to go sniff mailboxes while out on the walk, I use that as a reinforcer. To get to the mailbox, they have to keep the leash loose...and we go to the mailbox to sniff/pee.
Like "if you eat your veggies, you can have ice cream" for kids. "If you do your homework, you can watch an hour of TV".
So if the dog doesn't want treats, I figure out what else I can use in the environment that is reinforcing to the dog.
