StarMark Training Collar, Large, Blue

I have a pitbull-mix rescued from the streets of the Bronx who, I'm sure, has lived through hell. She is hyper-energetic and strong even at age 10+. I've always resisted using pronged collars but finally gave in after 8 years of exhausting walks and all kinds of training. The metal pronged collars takes the edge off and allows for a tolerable walk, but this collar is not effective because of the shorter "teeth" and her high pain threshold; however, it does work on my other larger dog who doesn't pull as aggressively, so whether this collar will work for you will depend on the age (younger the better), the nature of your dog, and--for obvious reasons--the thickness of the fur around its neck.

This collar was the best thing for our dogs as well for our arms and shoulders. The pinch collar does not cause any harm to our Husky/Chow or our Rottweiler. It provides a better experience for us during walks and when running with our beautiful dogs. These dogs are known for their powerful pulling capabilities and the collar helps them to control the urge to pull with all their might. I recommend this collar for senior citizens, kids, and handicapped dog walkers. Our dogs love their time out of the house and when they see us get the collars you can see the excitement in their eyes, they don't hide or growl at site of the collar. The steel prong collars need to be replaced by this non abusive dog collar!

This is an outstanding collar which was recommended to us by our dog trainer. It gives you so much control when training & walking your dog.

Our dog loves it & walks so proud, head held high, & no pulling. She is right at my side where she belongs. Its small teeth grip just like her mothers did. No pain, just all business & control. This is our third dog to have one. I wouldn't use anything else. Who wants to walk down the street with your dog walking (pulling) you? Not me, we both look & know what we're doing. It's a very comfortable, but exhillerating walk!!!

I have a dog that pulls and responds to pinching. I tried choke collar but it didn't work, it made her cough in discomfort but she kept pulling. I decided to buy one of these as they are recommended for these types of cases.

The collar fit my dog fine, had to remove two links to make it fit without having too much loose space. The collar worked, when the dog started pulling it instantly responded to the collar and stopped trying to rip my arm off. She walked like an angel for once. I could actually train her to have more efficient walks with me with a bike when I had more control over her. Every time I put the collar on her she immediately brightens up for she knows she is going on a walk again.

The shape of the collar is great, the materials, not so much. It's made of plastic and the pieces that hold it together can snap off eventually. If you are a crafty type you might be able to make a mold out of one link and replace the flimsy bits with better ones. The collar that I bought actually had one broken link as the person who assembled the link used too much force when connecting one of the end links. The design works, the materials don't, and also if you have a large dog I suggest getting the extra link with it as well.

Now I'll get on my soap box about people who haven't tried this type of product and one star rate it because it's "inhumane". No, I would not put this collar on and let you walk me. No I wouldn't put this on my children. Neither would I put my children on a leash, make them poo outside and eat from a cup on the floor. This is an animal, carnivore, pack animal beast that is tamed over thousands of years. They do not have same social structure as humans do, they have no elected leaders or voting rights. When they do not like what another dog in their pack does they pinch it from the neck with their teeth. Mother does that to their pups and their neck has very strong muscles, kind of the type you have in your legs. When they fight, they go for the neck to show the rival they are stronger and get them to the ground. It's as inhumane as blowing bubbles in a fish tank, you wouldn't put your childern in a fish tank, you wouldn't blow bubbles on them while they are there locked inside that glass. This product works, and my dog isn't traumatized by it. She loves it, every time I put it on her she knows we're going on a walk and is clearly happy and looking forward to it.

This was a great purchase. Very cost effective way to control the dog that pulls too hard when you are walking. Now we can walk her without getting a sore arm in the end. She learned very quickly and walks gently and still gets to go on adventures
