Fixed Cog Issue's

Hello,

I recently purchased a fixed gear bike. I been having problems with the lock ring coming loose when trying to learn to skid to a stop. i was wondering if it is a faulty part issue, a install issue, or am i trying to hard to stop and the pressure i am forcing on the cog is breaking it loose. I have taken it back to the bike shop and they had tightened it down once before. They said bring it back if i am still having problems. Well it came loose a second time now, i am wondering if i should recommend using lock-tite? Or should i stop trying to so hard to stop, i have this preception that i need to force the pedals hard backwards to stop, or do i need to relax. I have even tried on grass and the cog still came loose. If i could get some ideas from u guys that would be great

Thank you
