what would be the best collar to use for a great dane dog, that won’t cause red marks/rash around their neck?

I have regular Nylon collar that she wears, But what one would be best for like walking n training her with, I havent used a prong collar yet, but would that cause any redness around the neck when it jabs or pokes her? I have tried choke chains and martingales but they really hurt her neck, and i dont wanna go to using those anymore. I think its since they have short fur that its sensitive on their necks?
shes really strong too so its hard to just walk her with a regular collar. I want somethin that won't hurt around her neck.
yeah i do use a halti sometimes for walking her.
Yea . I have had her in a few obedience classes, and gonna keep her in them for a while.
does your dane get a sore/red neck with certain collars?
Is there anything that would help to prevent this??

How can I stop my 14 month old English Mastiff from growling at strangers?

My very sweet male Mastiff has suddenly started growling, and even snapped at a few people (without hurting them). We are worried he might hurt someone. He only does this to people he doesnt know, both at our home and out in public. Any help would be greatly appreicated. We bought a prong collar and immediately reprimand him when this occurs but we really want to stop it before it gets out of hand. We have always owned Rottwielers and have never experianced this before.
