Stainless Steel Dog
Pinch Collar for Behavior Correction
One of the most
important part of successful dog training is a properly
chosen collar! If you are in search of a device to deal with behavior problems, consider this one.
This stainless steel dog pinch collar allows to achieve
unbelievable results in behavior correction. It will do for any areas of dog
training. The prongs work like mother's teeth. They remind of mum's gentle bites in the neck.
Stainless steel has
lots of advantages over the ordinary steel. Especially in coastal
areas steel prongs can become slightly rusty already in
the shops. Prongs made of ordinary steel will become dull after
contact with wetness. Especially salt water will roughen the
plating layer with the result that the chain gets rusty. But that will never happen with stainless steel. This stainless pinch collar won't rust, but will serve you for a long term. Additionally, you have the advantage of better breaking load which will give you even higher security and longer lifespan.
NOTE!
Stainless steel doesn’t stain white fur, but
is not suitable for nickel-reactive dogs. If a dog has an allergy, then better choose a curogan pinch collar. As for dark-furred dogs, any material, including chrome plated steel and black stainless steel, will do for them.

NOTE!
Herm Sprenger collars and
links
are made in metric measurements, then converted to inches
approximation for the U.S. market.
All Herm Sprenger
pinch collars come in a standard length which is
adjusted to fit the neck of the dog by removing or adding
links to
the collar. The size
of this particular Prong Dog Collar is 23 inches (58 cm). So it will do for dogs
with 22 inches (56 cm) neck size
and whose weight is not more than 88 lbs (40 kg). If your dog's neck circumference is
more than 22 inches (56 cm), you can order an additional
link, that will add 1 1/2 inches (4.2 cm)
to the total collar length.
NOTE!
When ordering, ensure
you are ordering the correct millimeter sized prong link in
the same metal composition as your collar. This will
maintain
a consistent tensile strength through out the collar,
ensuring
proper training communication and collar longevity. When
adding and removing prong links, remember to keep the same
number of prong links affixed on each side of the center
plate. If the collar fitting requires an odd number of prong
links, then make sure one side of the center plate has only
one more prong link than the other side. Your goal is to
ensure the center plate stays at the front of the dog's neck
above the trachea.

How should the
prong collar fit:
- A prong collar must be placed around a dog's neck in a
specific manner to be safe and helpful for training
purposes.
- A prong collar should sit right behind the ears and under
the jaw. Placing the collar lower than this will make the
collar ineffective.
- The part of the collar that hooks onto a leash should be
facing upward, just behind a dog's ears. Never clip the
collar
below a dog's jaw or on the side of the neck.
- The collar should fit snugly as it doesn't move around
from
the proper place. If the collar is loose, consider removing
one of the prongs.
How to size your
dog for the pinch collar:
- In order to determine the ideal neck size of your dog
please
put a measuring tape closely to the fur right behind the
ears
and under the jaw.
- Add 2-3 inches and that would be the collar length you
need.
Warnings about
pinch collars:
- Put on and take the pinch collar off before and after
daily
training sessions. It is not meant to be left on the dog all
the time.
- Make sure you put it on correctly. The correct position
for
a prong collar is to sit right behind the ears and up under
the jaw line.
- It’s really best to work together with a dog trainer, at
first. He or she can teach you to use the collar safely,
effectively and humanely.
- We cannot be responsible for injuries to humans and/or
animals.
