For xolos who have little to no hair, what equipment or tools are the best or suitable for them for corrections when going outside or when training inside? Im just worried that their skin might get pinched using martingale collars or their skin might get punctured using prong collars. I want to transition to an e collar when she gets used to a lead or something that could correct her behavior.

For those who are curious i mostly train my coated dogs with prong collars or slip leads before using the e collar, i have knowledge with dog training and just want some kind of re assurance of some sort to know what other dog trainers do in cases that their dogs dont have hair. Some people might say the dog's skin is thick enough for any collar, i just want to make sure what i do for my dog is the most reasonable in terms of keeping her safe and comfortable.

I love dogs and I have the space and time to foster. I work remotely and have a massive backyard. I really don't have much going on since I recently moved to a new state... its hard to make friends and my dogs are my priority. However, I'm wondering how my two dogs will take it. Especially my xolo Maya. She just turned 3 and I remember how she behaved when she met my rescued dog, Mimi. Maya was extremely territorial and took months for them to get along. Not to mention, there was a lot of training involved with Mimi as well. Mimi loves dogs and is not reactive towards them. I cant say the same for Maya. If you'd foster while already having dog/s, how was your experience? And please, any advice I'm all ears 🙏🏼
