A safe and effective alternative to choker collars, it puts even pressure around the neck, about every half inch, pinching the skin in a band. This collar does not apply direct pressure to the trachea, so you can train your dog with little or no tugging, jerking, or pulling. The addition of a center plate connector allows the middle link to be configured symmetrically, enabling the prongs to tighten in the same direction. Made of high quality German Black stainless steel, The size of this collar can be adjusted by adding or removing the links individually. Features: interlocking links, each link equipped with two blunt prongs slips over dog's head for easy on, easy off slightly beveled pront tips easy to increase or decrease in size Made of high quality Black stainless steel Additional links sold separately. Item specifications: Size: 23"L (3. 2mm) sizing instructions: collar should fit snuggly just below the dog's ears, measure the circumference of dog's neck and add 2". Please note: NOT recommended for light color dogs

Almost 4 years of daily use and still satisfied with my purchase of this black Herm Sprenger prong collar. Excellent, reliable way to have better leash control over my stubborn 8 year old black labrador / german shepherd mix (approx 85lbs).I still have a normal collar on him when I use this, and I typically attach a backup just in case, but it's never been necessary as long as you attach the collar correctly. First couple times I was confused, but I just wasnt squeezing the prongs correctly. Now it's just second nature.I like the black color too as it looks better than silver would have against his black fur. Good quality, durable purchase.

We have a 25 pound dog that would constantly pull the leash. My wife thought the were mean, but my son has a large puppy that walked better than our three year old. She finally agreed to buy one. The results were amazing. Yes, you have to snap it, but they quickly learn to not pull. Our dog does not pull anymore, and walks are much more enjoyable.It looks nice and pulls smooth. I am very happy with it and would buy it again.

I was really hesitant about using this kind of product because I hate the idea of hurting my dog. We tried so many other things first. Training, gentle leaders, no pull halters and some of them helped a little but we have a large German Shepherd who can pull me right off my feet. Now he generally has no inclination to pulling me and is typically well behaved but he doesn’t realize his strength on a leash. Now this works like a dream. He gets a little pinch if he lets the leash get taut and that’s enough to keep him from pulling. The prongs are dull not sharp

Worked instantly in my 4yo husky. Although I've spent 100s of hours training it not to pull on walks, it is still struggling with this. Using the new collar the instant feedback allowed it to walk lose lead and relaxed. It has sti lunged at dogs and people close by, but no where near as bad as before. I think this collar is excellent in conjunction with good training.

This is a well made collar. I wasn’t happy about putting my dog in this type collar for training but I’m really happy I spent a little more for this collar It doesn’t feel as sharp and the metal is sturdy and doesn’t feel it will cut into a dog yet it is light weight. My dog doesn’t seem to mind it on him at all, he never walked bad on a leash but this eliminates what little pulling he did do. The trainer we used said it just needs to sit on the dogs neck loosely and tighten when the dog pulls but he warned to make sure the collar slid with ease to loosen, this collar does just that. A lady in training with us bought a quick release one of another brand and she had to physically loosen from the dogs neck.

Why doesn't this model come with a swivel to attached the leash to? Do we need to add a swivel so it does not get twisted?

Chains are a little bit big (I’d prefer the 2.5 which wasn’t available in amazon for Canada for a reasonable price). But looks really a lot better than the silver ones.Popped open once tough!

A nuestros perros les gusto mucho, funciona como debe de funcionar, es de buen material y el color le queda muy bien a mis Airedales.Es una buena compra, un poco caro sin embargo otras plataformas son mas costosas.

Tengo un Alaskan malamute (28-30 kilos), que aún con collar de castigo normal, se jala mucho cuando salimos a caminar. Estuve escéptica de que fuera a funcionar y me preocupaba que lastimará a mi mascota con los picos. Busqué algunos tutoriales en Youtube, para que conozcan más a detalle como debe usarse y sí, hay que ajustar bien al cuello de la mascota, detrás de sus orejas. Compre el 58 cm. para mi mascota, al final, le removí dos argollas para dejárselo a la medida. Nuestras caminatas han mejorado muchísimo, si me jala de vez en cuando, pero esta correa te da control para corregirlo.

Have been using Sprenger products for years. I thought the silver ones were stainless because they were more expensive. Even the chrome plated Sprenger collar is better made than others. Tried the oxidized black stainless recently and I love it . I just bought a second one today because it is so much lighter in weight. Goes well with my Blue Merle Aussie. Don’t know why people have difficulty with them. I am curious about the black steel and coat color recommendation. My only criticism is I preferred the larger swivel ring on the chrome model for ease of use. Maybe the smaller ring is lighter in weight and just as sturdy. I tend to keep the leash and collar attached anyway. It is my go to collar.

I spent the extra money on a HS collar because the prongs aren't roughly cut like rhe cheaper ones on amazon. The prongs are rounded and will only pinch and not cut your dog if they pull. I've tried to train our dog to walk beside or behind us but she's adamant on being infront leading. This isn't the end of the world but she also tends to pull at the sight of anything and no amount of distraction seems to work food or tap on hind(ala Mr Milan). In comes this collar and she pulled twice and gave a lil yelp and hasn't pulled with any force since. When I walk her with the collar i take care that everyone including child knows not to pull on the leash as we don't want to cause any undue discomfort. I know some people will call you inhumane etc but so long as you aren't abusing the collar there isn't anything inhumane about it.Please don't buy any of the cheap knock offs as the prongs are not dulled/rounded and will cut your dogs skin.

My little alpha male Rottie is one tough cookie. I felt like he was going to die walking with a flat collar. I've tried all the positive reinforcement methods in the world and felt like I was months away from having an enjoyable walk with the little fella. Five minutes is all it took to get him to heal on this prong collar! I love taking him out on the leash now. This collar is far better than and traditional collar or even a chest harness. He gets lots of treats now for walking so well on a leash.Don't hesitate to buy one of these collars. One of the most humane ways I know of to get your little furball enjoying walks with the family.
