Be sure to secure the prong collar to another collar or harness. Prong have a tendency to come apart under stress.Here's my take. If u have had a secure collar on you wouldn't have to worry about your dog "standing it's ground". You could have done your job as the leader to protect your dog and "stand your own ground". I use a prong for these very reasons. You just never know about other dogs and especially ones that have idiot owners who have them off leash in town. I had a similar situation happen with me and a Solo. He had his prong on so I don't worry about him slipping out or whatever. I put Solo in between me and the other dog and when the dog got close I put a size 12 right in its face. I stood my ground. Solo wasn't in harm and the owner of the other dog didn't say a word cause he knew I wasn't messing around.
Moral of the story, be ready for anything. Be ready to protect your dog. It's not your dog's job to protect you and lastly get a better collar. I suggest a prong.

The Good Dog Minute shows how to do this easily, in their Intro.to the Prong Collar video. I have experienced, with two large dogs, these prough come apart.
