Herm Sprenger German Prong Collar 3.25 MM

At first I was reticent to try this collar it looks so agressive, and I'm only trying to fine-tune our newly adopted dog's leash walking and have an effective deterrent from her urge to chase madly after every squirrel, crow, and neigborhood dog (the last for play, the first two with a bit more murderous intent).

After talking to a professional dog walker and trainer, I decided to give this collar a try. The dog walker regularly 'pack runs' with neighbors of 2 and 4 legs that have varied dispositions (golden retriever, doberman, border collie) and they all use these collars during runs. The dog trainer said her dog prefers this collar over a straight collar, choke chain, or gentle leader, which I couldn't imagine for our rowdy pup, however, I thought it was worth a shot.

When I received the collar, I was impressed with the craftmanship. I tried it on my thigh, and the collar gives pressure without much pinching or poking. This is far better than the ones I tried at the pet store, which had abrupt ends to the prongs that bit into my skin.

I braced for resistance when I placed the collar on our dog. She didn't try to scratch or shake it off, so on went the leash and off we were. She is very obedient with this collar, much more so than the gentle leader. Since I rarely had to spin to redirect her attention, we covered an extra mile on our morning round. Getting ready for walk #2 she came right up to me, sat, and leaned forward for me to connect the collar. Whoosagooooddoggie?

In order to prevent injury, be sure to keep a loose leash at all times unless you're correcting, then tug briefly and release. This method works very well during walks, and my dog loves the collar.

This collar was recommended for my 5 year old German Shepherd by his trainer. I'll have to admit, it worked wonders in his training and on walks!

Buy Herm Sprenger German Prong Collar 3.25 MM Now

When I first got my dog, I purchased a cheap knock off prong collar with the quick-release clip. I decided I wanted one that didn't have the quick release as they aren't recommended. I heard that Herm Sprenger collars are good quality so went with this one. It's made well and is relatively easy to put on and take off. For the record, the tag on the collar says it's 18" inches long (there is no mention of the length in the product description). Prongs are easily removable to adjust the size. It should fit high up on the dog's neck behind the ears up against the skin; not too loose or tight.

Came apart and can not get it back together without tools. I do think it was effective in helping to train the dog.
