Herm Sprenger Pinch Collar, 12-Inch, 2-1/4-Mm

I bought this collar for my 50lb pit mix, I had to add a link to lengthen it but the small size is way more effective than the larger ones and it stays in the right place just behind her ears. This is the only collar which keeps her from pulling my arm out of the socket, I never have to use corrections, it just uses her natural weight and instincts to correct herself. I actually now walk her off leash even on the street and she will stay at a heel by my side because I was finally able to teach her the boundaries on walks. I would highly recommend the small size even for large breeds because with more smaller links it is more effective and makes your dog look less intimidating to others.

There are people who give these collars a bad rap but when used correctly they can actually be much more humane and natural than a head halter which often rubs a dog's face raw and makes them feel trapped. This collar appears to sum like spikes pointed into a dog's neck but really they are at an angle and just apply pressure when your dog pulls. They should fit snug behind the ears where it will not be pressing on the throat at all. It should not dangle or slide around at all which could be dangerous if it were caught on something. And I would never leave it on my dog while she is off leash either.

One more thing, Herm Sprenger is the leading brand for prong collars. Don't bother buying slightly cheaper ones. They will fall apart and the metal ends are blunt and not rounded like this collar. Also, the quick release style has come undone on me before so it is best to get this type which is only a tiny bit of extra effort to get on and off, it is especially easy in the small size. It also has a gap in the center and the links on either size point up which a nice new style addition.

Once you go Herm Sprenger, you'll never go back!

A prong collar is (generally speaking) the safest and most effective training collar available; far superior to slip collar (choke chains) or head halters (such as the Gentle Leader).

Not only that, but Herm Sprenger collars are by FAR the best brand of prong collar on the market. They are carefully crafted, and unlike the cheaper brands, do not bend or become warped with time. They are highly unlike to pop off should the dog lunge. It will only take one HS collar to make a believer out of you. Even at a glance, it makes cheaper brands appear to be made of paper clips.

The tips on this collar are also carefully rounded. The flat tips on cheaper brands can irritate some dogs with sensitive skin. The action of this collar is also superior to other brands, and features very fluid movement.

The prong collar is the choice of knowledgeable dog trainers, and HS is their brand of choice!

I bought this collar for my Rottweiler puppy, and it's great. She's stubborn and extremely strong, so it's a must. When I use the collar, I have total control. The fact that it's fairly easy to adjust by adding or subtracting links is a definite plus when the collar is used on a rapidly growing puppy.

My only complaint was with the delivery. I live in Costa Rica, and the product was shipped via DHL who doesn't deliver to post office boxes. There was much confusion as DHL wouldn't deliver to my home address either as it's a rural address. Furthermore, Costa Rica DOES NOT have addresses. The collar was finally delivered to a local restaurant where I was able to pick it up. The shipping charges were high and that service was poor. Amazon had no edit on the post office box address either, so I had no idea. Prior shipments from Amazon always came to my PO box, except, of course, when they were lost in the mail. DHL may be a good solution to that problem, but they need to establish a central drop if they don't offer home delivery, or establish an arrangement with the post office.

I have Standard Poodles which normally are NOT pullers. However, I have had two who have been. NEVER will I use a chain link CHOKE collar on any dog. This pinch, used properly, MADE CORRECTLY (like the Herm Sprenger), works well with gentle corrections. Under $20 and I used it a totally of 3 training weeks with the new trainee. All done with it and his understands not to pull.

Please use any training collar with respect. Use it on your arm first. Understand the pressure. Use it correctly, high on the neck, with gentle corrections. Remember, they are corrections in training!!!!!!!!! Gentle, gentle, gentle with treats and love and fun.

Also, use a good, quality product. Not cheap junk. There is a difference.

From the first moment I put this collar on my dog he walked very nicely, unlike his usual lunging and yanking. After our third walk I removed one link from the collar and I feel it fits better, but with or without the link, his walk behavior is very different than before the collar.

The pinch parts are nicely rounded and do not irritate the skin, or dig in, or make any marks on his skin. He doesn't mind having the collar put on him because he knows the collar means he'll go outside. It's a great training device, and a wonderful device to use for dogs who lunge and pull on lead.

I recommend only the Herm Springer collar because used carefully it will not hurt the dog.

Never leave the collar on when not walking; never put on or take off the collar by slipping it off over dog's head. Read about the use of the collar at the Herm Springer website; failure to do this may result in purchasing the wrong size, or damage to the dog.
