Titan Snap-On Pinch Training Dog Collar

The sticky big latch is *not* unique to this manufacturer of an otherwise fine product. I feel guilty about docking the rating a star over an industry standard, but inherently sticky, latch.

I guess I can understand why someone would think a larger latch is easier to handle -particularly with gloves on. BUT, big latches jam quite easily.

I trotted down to my friendly neighborhood pet stores and checked out the latches on their pinch collars. All were this large size and and had the same tong like design. All were sticky to operate like this one.

I prefer the smaller plier like latch; but, it too is not without problems. In use the smaller latch can slip into the loop of the end pinch link. That opens the latch and the collar drops off much to the delight of a fast escaping mutt.

[BTW, the trick with the small latch is to fit the collar by removing links until you are just able to latch and unlatch it without punishing your dog. During the last 10 years and two large dogs I've never had a small latch open on a properly fitted collar.]

The longer larger latch may be less prone to releasing a poorly fitted collar with too many links in it. But a poorly fitted collar doesn't work as it should and ultimately does the dog and owner a disservice.

OK, enough ranting about latches.

The collar is well made with smooth prong tips and heavy chrome plating. Frankly, I can't see the difference between it and the name brand collars costing at least twice as much. And, it arrived in Washington DC promptly and well packed.

"Wasn't what I thought it would be, Steel, like the one I was replacing. My fault, I think, since I did not read product info carefully enough, I think. Now that I have opened it to feel material, I'm not sure I can return it. " April 6, 2013

When I took my dog for a walk, her curiosity caused her to jump back and forth to sniff out everything that crossed our path. The first time I used it, she yelped in surprise when I gave it a little tug, but now when she feels the slightest pressure from it, she behaves.
