As a dog owner, I will say that I use prong collars on my two large-breed dogs, a German shepherd and a pointer-mix.

Men older than 40 should be on the look out for signs of an enlarged prostate, specifically symptoms like difficulty controlling urination, pain while urinating, and blood in the urine. Once signs are noticed, men should be tested quickly to prevent the symptoms from getting worse.

Enlarged prostate affects more than half of men by age 60 and causes symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine stream and a persistent feeling of having to urinate. Surgery is the standard treatment for the condition, but can cause complications such as sexual dysfunction and impotence, experts note.
