    I was very hesitant to put this on my small dog because I didn’t want to injure her. However, she pulls like a small train and it was almost impossible to walk her, even after other training modalities were tried. She has an extreme level of prey-drive so anything that moves – rocks, birds, CATS, weeds… – trigger her. The second I put this collar on, she was completely controlled and I’ve had no issues ever since. She knows that when I get that collar out she’s going for a walk so now it’s a positive. The prongs are rounded and do not hurt her. The construction is very good and I have no issues at all with the collar. I did have to remove 3 prongs to fit her properly but that was discussed with me by the manufacturer prior to my purchase. They have great customer support and are very responsive. A good job all around and I’d highly recommend the product and the company!

    When used properly this is an effective tool! Walking my dogs has never been easier. As a 5ft 125lb woman, it was challenging to walk my two 65 pound dogs together. With the guidance of a trainer, I ordered this prong collar and it has completely changed our walks! Highly recommend!

    My beagle is usually good on walks, but if a rabbit crosses our path he goes nuts. He injured my shoulders, neck, and back by suddenly lunging. And there are a lot of rabbits around this town! (We have a place we take him where he can chase them, but not on city walks!) I taught him to use and respect this collar, and he caught on immediately. It doesn’t hurt him and it is preventing injuries for me.

    Don’t waste your time with any other brand, all of the other collars of this design use cheap steel that will bend with repeated use resulting in a collar that will pop off from your dog’s neck at inopportune times (guess how I know this) The Sprenger will not become missshapen no matter how much you use it. My dog trainer has Sprenger collars that are 20-30 years old and they still work perfectly. I’ve used the same Sprenger on my aggressive dog every day for 13 years and it has never failed, not once.

    This collar is well-made. The construction is good; the prongs are rounded and smooth. This type of collar is meant to mimic the sensation of a mother dog reminding her pup to “behave.”When I had an arm injury, it reminded one of my more excitable, enthusiastic dogs not to pull on the leash — ever — because when she pulled, she corrected herself without my having to scold or bribe or otherwise do anything. She became very mindful of rushing ahead or putting any pressure on my arm. YES, training could have taught her to walk on a loose leash at all times (even when excited) but this did the trick — training her gently as her mother would have done. Different dogs, like different people, may learn better through some methods than others. As scary as it may look to the nervous-souls out there, it is EXACTLY like a mother dog’s gentle correction, and very acceptable information to the dog, and does help some dogs learn.Be sure when you use this sort of collar, that you use just enough links to hold the collar snugly at the top of the neck, don’t pull back on the leash unless you have a reason or message to convey, pay attention to what you and your dog are doing, and NEVER let the dog drag its leash while clipped to this collar.I highly recommend this collar to be used for some dogs for whom other methods don’t register. Each individual has their own learning styles and needs at different points of their training. It was just what we needed at this particular point in time. (The other option was not to take this particular dog out until my arm had completely healed — something we both would have been miserable with). We won’t always use it — it is a tool for a particular purpose and I can see that we may not need it any more — because it communicated the message in “dog language” for her. == added comment on Dec. 1, 2015 ==After a couple of weeks letting her self-correct with the prong collar, and some extra focus and verbal attention directing where she should be at certain times, she seems to have learned how to be careful with my arm. We go out without the prong collar, and she is still MUCH more attentive and aware of my needs (knows not to pull on the injured arm, not to rush me, to look at my face for confirmation before changing direction or speeding up). The prong collar has been an effective, positive tool and we may not need it anymore. Our relationship is as good as ever — which is to say, excellent!I’d like to share this video by a professional dog trainer experienced in the use of the prong collar — suggesting when it may be appropriate or inappropriate:

    As good print collar, it was just too small, so I have to return it

    I am so thrilled. I have a 46lbs lab who is the sweetest dog but is a MIGHTY puller. I adopted her 2 months ago, and after multiple disastrous walks, I decided we’d stay in the backyard. A front harness helped, but never stopped her from chasing every squirrel and pulling her off was a nightmare.Anyway, I feared the prong collar because I didn’t understand it, even after research. My recommendation if you fear it, just spend the $30 and touch it for yourself.I used it with her as soon as I got it, realized the prongs are soft, and followed the instructions from a bunch of YT tutorials- lots of positive reinforcement while taking it out, showing it to her, putting it on, adjusting it, and walking. We went on a 45 minute walk where she readjusted herself with the most minor of tugs, and I gave her maybe two corrections. After that, anytime she target locked, a vocal command got her to heel.Honestly, I completely overthought it. She had a great time.10/10 ABSOLUTE recommend, it’s so much easier to use than you think and you can absolutely do it.

    My 17lb, 17″ small standard poodle (moyen) is a puller! Small but mighty. I use this when we go out in public. She’s eager to put it on so I know it doesn’t hurt her. But she’s extremely respectful and doesn’t pull when it’s on. Love it! I’m going to buy the quick release soon as it’s a PITA to put on. For a dog with a short coat it might not be too bad.

    This was recommended by my dog trainer… it allows you to give a controlled correction to your dog, similar to a mothers bite… the circumferential pressure is better than the asymmetrical pressure on the trachea/neck you get with a flat collar … turn it inside out to slip on an off more easily or get the clip addition

    I have received Herm Sprenger knock offs from other sellers claiming they were real but were junk.Derek’s Goods ONLY sells the real thing!
