15 to 20 mins twice a day like sweetgoats is good. Do you have a halter? If so put that on him and tie him up to a fence with his head at the right level and keep his feet set-up for 10 min or so then work with him. Don't leave him alone while tie up. Always put him up while he be good and working with you not fighting you. You don't want him to get the idea if he bad he's done. You want him associate good behavior with being put away or a treat. Don't be afraid to use treat to start with and then wean him off. If you can get him set up and stand for a min give him a treat and let him rest then repeat till he will stand long each day before give a treat. Shelly
 
Read your show rules because prong collar are usually not allow. Also like badnewsboer said if use over along time damage is done to the windpipe. I'm guessing this is a breed show? If so with sheep you are allowed two people when showing a ram one to hold and one to set feet and help keep the animal under control. Shelly
