Ultra-Plus Prong Dog Training Collar, 2.25 mm x 14" Neck Size, 2.25 mm x 16" Chain Length, Steel Chrome Plated Dog Prong Collar, Pinch Collar for Dogs, Dog Correction Collar

Before I purchased this prong collar I have did tons of research, and everyone all say the Herm Sprenger is the best effective collar. Yes there are several off brand collars out there that maybe cheaper and also may work, but I didn't want to cheap myself or my dog. I heard that the off brand prong collars can be faulty and poorly made and have sharp edges instead of round smooth edges. But we ain't here to talk about those we here to talk about this bad boy. I like to reference Tom Davis and Dog Daddy on youtube. Both of these guys are amazing which shows real dogs with reactive and pulling and aggressive dogs. My dog is a 4 year old German Shepard mix that I got from the shelter. Very friendly, but very reactive to things like cars, people and dogs moving by. His bark definitely gives off that I'm a aggressive dog, but really not. After doing my research from the two Trainers above I purchased the Herm Sprenger prong collar. Note there are mentioned of fakes out there so be sure to check the spelling and prongs edges. So the first day we wanted to see how he do without the prong collar. Which he pulled and was just doing his own thing. My Dog is about around 65 pounds and is pretty strong so I know my wife and 6 year old won't be able to walk him. I had to take out about 4 links off, my dogs neck about 18inches, the collar I got was 22inches, so I got extra link just in case. Mind you that it will take some time getting use to taking the collar on and off as you have to pinch pretty hard to pull off but once you do it a few times you get the hang of it. So I slapped the collar on my dog, and we begin training. The tip is to conduct U-turn correction which means if you see your dog leading ahead of you, you want to immediately U turn and pop the collar as you turning which your dog would immediately turn with you as the collar does a pinch pressure. For a good 10 mins of doing this I saw my dog do way less pulling. The tips I learned is that the dog needs a job to do. The dog wants to be led. If he can not be led he or she will assume command and do what they want. Hence you see some dogs pulling their owners. So it more of the dog taking the owner for a walk rather then the owner taking the dog for a walk. So the goal is to make sure your Dog is paying attention to you and you only. When you cut left your dog should cut left. Now note that timing the correction is key. I recommend you watch the youtube clips on Tom Davis and Dog Daddy. As for the second day of leash training, my dog only needed one correction that was at the very beginning of the walk. I did my U turn , all around in circles and stops and my dog was watching my every move. Not letting the leash extend to far to feel that pressure. My dog slows walk with me and you can see him looking back at me every other second to make sure I'm not trying to make a U turn or move. But definitely improved his walking on leash without pulling. You can see him checking in which is what I want from him. Mind you that during your corrections you may hear your dog yelp that is perfectly fine as that is part of the correction. Like example when your mom tells you don't do something and you do it and she give you a pop in the head. So next time when you in that same situation you think before doing it as you know if you do it youll get pop again. So the Dog have that same sense, they know if they do that wrong thing they will feel that pop. I know some people may think prong collar are inhumane or think that it hurts the dog. But If you properly and fitted correctly the prong collar can be a useful tool to correct misbehavior and communicate with your dog. Dogs don't know English so the collar can be used to help communicate what you trying to command your dog to do. As I mentioned I recommend that you watch youtube videos to see what I'm saying. But overall this product is a must have if you want to teach your dog to walk on the leash and to prevent the reactiveness of your dog.

Producto de excelente calidad, funciona muy bien

Prong de 2.25 para meu cão de 17k Sendo que para o uso nos passeios e treinamentos foi retirado 2 links. De forma para ficar abaixo das orelhas sem que fique folgada. Tentei usar com todos os links, porém ficou bem folgada e devido a isso a prong se soltou. E hoje para passeios uso 4 links de cada lado junto com um backup de coleira. Assim caso se solte algum link, estará seguro com backup na coleira lisa. Os passeios com certeza ficaram 100% melhores. Acabou o puxa puxa!

Buen producto, bien acabado, con buenos materiales y excelente diseño y lo mejor es que funciona muy bien

La calidad del producto es muy buena. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Me lo recomendó el entrenador de mi perro y desde el primer día obtuve resultados excelentes. A pesar de que a simple vista puede parecer muy agresivo para el perro, no lo maltrata ya que distribuye uniformemente la presion en todos los puntos de contacto. Es importante colocarlo correctamente según las instrucciones, bien ajustado para que no se baje, ya que debe quedar lo más arriba posible para lograr máximo control del perro. A diferencia del collar tradicional de entrenamiento, este trae un tope que evita ahorcamientos. Sin embargo, no se debe dejar puesto sin supervisión.
