Herm Sprenger Prong Dog Training Collar - 16" Long with 2.25mm Gauge (for Dogs up to 40lbs) - Fits 13" Neck, Extendable to 19" Neck with Additional Prong Links - Chrome Plated Steel, Made in Germany

I’m old school. It works perfect. Added the quick release clip because of my arthritis, but would recommend because it so easy to get on and off. Love the tiny pronged for my lab/hound mix it’s just enough. Very good quality.

Good quality, fit St. Bernard neck, can be adjusted, easy to use. I hesitated buying a prong collar for my St. but my trainer insisted because he has dragged me to the ground when he is reactive. It doesn't rust. I use it for walks only. If he even tries to be reactive he comes back to me and regrets it. I don't pull unless he wants to start something, but even them it's a small tug.

Great Products...Great Training Collar...with it, the leash is loose and dog comfortable...and can be guided with the pinky finger and a quick and gentle tug. Using a traditional collar, the dog pulls and chokes and the leash is always tight...

I am not sure that I have ever written a review for a product. If I have...I am not sure when the last time I did was. I was feeling pretty confident about my dog training skills. Between gentle-leaders and no-pull harnesses, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I have trained 5 previous dogs to walk calmly on a leash. Four of those dogs were all at once. "look at me and my skills!" I thought....walking all four of these lab-mixes all at once. For years. Calmly. And then... Bodhi (an 8 month old 65 lb golden retreiever/husky mix) came into my life and humbled me almost right onto my toosh onto a road with traffic. Because a dog was across the street with a bell on his collar and the excitement was just too much! First I used a no-pull harness. Then a gentle leader. Then a trainer I worked with in an obedience class recommended a martingale. It was useless. The gentle leader I used was the most effective, and that was still minimal and I felt like I was hurting him during corrections. We walk twice a day and I dreaded it. I thought I was a calm, cool dog owner. I fet like I was turning into a crazy person alternating between corrections and positive reinforcement on our walks. Although, my 14-year-old lab mix was loving all training treats she was getting alongside every attempt I made to reward Bodhi for positive behavior. I was convinced for months I was doing something wrong and feeling guilty and more defeated with every youtube video I watched about just needing to figure out better communication with my dog. I was on the verge of breaking the bank and sending him away to a 2-week board-and-train program. I heard prong collars were inhumane, but when I got desperate, I started to research them. In just ONE DAY, the results were immediate. And boy wagged his tail throughout the whole walk and just looked up at me when we saw another dog and gladly took treats instead of pulling. I watched multiple youtube videos about using this correctly before trialing it and introduced him to it in the backyard first. It feels sooooo much more humane than constant corrections and stopping and changing directions throughout our walks. It was calm and easy and I felt like ME again. The corrections were drastically less and we all were happy and calm throughout our walk. SO HAPPY I TRIED THIS. Nothing inhumane about it. And good learning for me about recognizing different methods for different dogs. We look forward to many calm, long walks in our future!

The Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar has proven to be an invaluable training aid in transforming my dog's behavior with incredible effectiveness. While prong collars may raise questions for some, my experience with the Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar has been overwhelmingly positive, resulting in improved control, communication, and ultimately a happier and well-behaved canine companion. From the outset, I was initially skeptical about using a prong collar due to concerns about discomfort or potential harm to my dog. However, my research led me to the Herm Sprenger brand, known for their quality craftsmanship and focus on dog safety. I decided to give their Micro-Prong Collar a try, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. One of the standout features of this collar is its thoughtful design. The "micro" prong links are finely crafted and rounded, reducing the likelihood of discomfort or injury to my dog's skin. Additionally, the evenly distributed pressure from the prongs prevents the sharp "jabbing" sensation that some traditional prong collars might produce. The effectiveness of the Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar lies in its ability to provide clear and immediate feedback to my dog during training. The gentle pressure applied through the prongs mimics the natural communication dogs use with each other, facilitating a deeper understanding of commands and desired behaviors. This has been particularly beneficial for dogs that tend to pull or exhibit stubborn behavior during walks. Training sessions have become significantly more productive and efficient thanks to the precise control offered by this collar. My dog's responsiveness to commands has increased, resulting in a safer and more enjoyable experience for both of us during walks and other activities. One concern often raised about prong collars is the potential for misuse or harm. However, the Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar comes with detailed instructions on proper fitting and usage. When used correctly, the collar should sit high on the dog's neck and should never be used for prolonged periods. I appreciate the manufacturer's emphasis on responsible use and training techniques. In terms of build quality, the Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar is second to none. The stainless steel construction not only ensures durability but also minimizes the risk of rust or corrosion, even in wet or humid conditions. In conclusion, the Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar has exceeded my expectations in terms of effectiveness and training outcomes. While prong collars may not be suitable for all dogs or owners, this collar stands out as a well-designed, humane, and reliable tool for those seeking improved control and communication during training. With its focus on safety, craftsmanship, and responsible use, the Herm Sprenger Micro-Prong Collar has earned a solid 5 out of 5 stars. If you're in search of a training aid that can make a positive impact on your dog's behavior, this collar is certainly worth considering. Pros: Effective and immediate feedback during training Thoughtfully designed micro prong links for dog comfort High-quality stainless steel construction Clear usage instructions for responsible training Cons: May not be suitable for all dogs or training philosophies Overall, a highly effective training tool that has made a significant difference in my dog's behavior and training progress.

The sizing is a bit off by 1.5 inches and I am finding it nearly impossible to turn from prongs out (like they tell you to put the collar on) to prongs in (how the collar is effetive as a training tool). BUT this collar is really heavy and well made. It feels secure and worth what we paid for. I was afaid of a cheaper collar due to possibility of our dog breaking the chain or slipping out of it. We have a 85 pound GSD and we are using this to train him. He only wears it when we are training heel, sit, down, and stay, etc. while being supervised.

Hella long review but walk with me, haha. 🐶 I have hypermobile EDS and my joints ache severely every time after taking my dogs out or for a walk. We have a Border Collie mix and a Husky, they both pull but the Husky pulls to the point where I straight up can’t deal with him on the leash. We tried everything: treats, clickers, shorter leashes, and gentle leaders. The gentle leader worked until the Husky figured out he could just turn around and pull, which made going out a long process full of constant corrections and redirection. My boyfriend had graciously started solely taking them out so I’m not in pain, but I didn’t want to put that all on him or miss out on my babies having fun outside. I figured we had exhausted all options and this was just how life would be with our dogs, but after the Husky slipped out of his gentle leader on Halloween and made a run for it dressed up as a hot dog, I knew I needed to figured something out fast! After hours of searching and comparing, I decided to give this collar a try and when it showed up, my boyfriend thought I bought a torture device and honestly I was a little worried about it too. I took them out just ONE TIME to go potty, and it was MAGICAL!! Our Husky boy STOPPED PULLING!!! Even after getting the collar on him, he didn’t fuss around! The sizing chart and directions are very accurate: we measured his neck at 18” and added 2”. The 20” collar was perfect fit right out of the package, but can be easily adjusted by removing or adding links. The prongs on the links can be a little tricky at first, but get easier with use. As long as you have a little grip strength, it’s not that difficult to pop off/on. Other reviewers said to get the additional quick release thing, which I agree would be better in the long run if you have issues with hand strength, joint pain, or mobility. The chain, rings, and links feel very durable and there is no smell. I like that it’s just metal, so much easier to keep clean! I took them for a walk the next day and he did so good on the leash, no pulling or choking himself and no coughing!! 😭 I felt like it made him more aware of commands, he looked happy and confident for the first time! I was so impressed by this collar’s ability to distribute the pressure of him pulling without harming him that I returned the martingale collar we got for our other dog because she was coughing from pulling on the leash during our walk and buying her this one instead!!

Fantastic, works great almost immediately

Good and practical

Muy buen collar el material es de muy buena calidad funciona perfecto para el que lo sabe usar, no es para todos los perros

love the collar my dog, has adjusted well, only took a few walks and shes already correcting herself and not pulling!

I just got 1 for now but plan on getting another one for my other dog later. They’re sharing right now (only my 11 month old Shiloh shepherd is pictured) he would pull and never listen on walks even pulled with “anti pull” harness. I’ve tried being patient and nothing is working , He’s going to be huge and heavy so needed to fix this now not later. Literally the best thing. It doesn’t hurt them and i highly recommend! Instant results. Although I have used these in the past for dog walking so I’m not new to how to use them properly. It’s great quality! I was very hesitant on Amazon purchasing this brand because there are a lot of frauds. But this is great. 100%. Please Make sure you put the collar on in the right placement. It should sit just behind the ears , it should not be able to slide on the neck or move. And it should be tight (not too tight, but the prongs should be in contact with the neck and the whole collar should not be able to move around prior to clipping on the lead) Otto never ever sat on walks or stayed beside me really unless it’s night time for some reason , I’ve had a run in with a few Karen’s about the collar but it’s been the best investment! I got the larger size cuz Otto will be growing a lot more but so far just one walk and it’s amazing. Will be getting another smaller for my other dog who is a big smaller. *Do not use if you do not know how to use one. It is for training outdoors only , it is not a regular collar to be left on 24/7. Please do your research prior to buying and using! It is a great training tool iF used correctly. :)
