Prong Collar for Dogs, Dog Training Collar for Small Medium Large Dogs | Dog Pinch Collar, Adjustable Size, No Pull, Quick Release Buckle, Hook 360° Swivel, High Quality, Extra Link and Rubber Cap

Very well made, all end are rounded and you can also put the rubber covers on too. The martingale feature keeps them from backing out. I use these when we go into the ocean with the pups and no rust, a little discoloration, but work as they did when they were new. We only use them when walking, training, and going out to restaurants - and they know these are their best behavior collars. They are not a lightweight collar and we no longer have a problem with the dogs chewing off each other collar.

We watched several beautiful collars get destroyed by our growing pups. We realized that they needed metal collars and considered the traditional choker collars. Instead, we bought these and were impressed with the results. It’s like the dogs have hearing aids tuned to our frequency. If you are fairly light weight and are concerned that you won’t be able to control your growing pups, this is the collar for you. It may help to wear gloves at times to train the young beasts but you’ll get them to turn whichever direction you want with just a turn of your wrist. The quick release is very stout and holds well. The extra rubber protectors should be kept because your dog might lose a few. When you aren’t training the dog and it isn’t needed, you can remove it easily. Our pups seem to be used to wearing them 24/7 and the collar thickness protects their necks from other dogs. Once your pups mature you might not need this style collar but if you need a helpful training tool which transmits your desires to your dog, this will help. Downsides? The collar is of high quality and well thought out. The chrome plating however will eventually wear off. Bottom line? These collars will provide excellent service long after the glittery finish fades.

Love this collar very good product quality and great material, came with 2 xtra prongs to increate the size, and rubber tips for the prongs, but not needed, I have a pocket bully that can be extra aggressive and one quick tug on his leash Gets his Attention right now, it does not hurt him, but commands my attention

This is a great piece for bigger dogs the only issue the little rubber prongs fall off within about a month or two of using so make sure you save some and pay attention to those.

This collar has helped train my little dog. Of course my dog hates it and he runs away every time he sees me grab it but he does not pull away as much as he used to. He listens and pay more attention now. He also sits every time we stop walking to prevent from pulling. He’s not trying to run up to other dogs as they are walking by, he simply looks at them now. I recommend it for everyone that has an issue with training their dogs to behave. I received so many great compliments from the airport staff the other day on how well behaved he is. That makes me so proud since that was his first flight and it was international. The size is a great fit for his neck. The appearance is a little scary at first but my brother helped me understand the proper way to use it. Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy. He didn’t like it at first. He would stop walking completely the first 2 walks we did but he eventually caught on quickly. My baby is 7lb Shih Tzu and he wears a XS. I had to remove some links to get it down to his perfect size. Hope this helps.

Excellent prong collar. It's easy to adjust to fit your dog's size neck - we use a pliers to squeeze the prongs instead of our fingers. The collar lasts about one year because the spring can rust, but we walk our dog multiple times of day AND in all types of weather! It is lightweight yet durable. It is worn loosely and easily tightens to signal your dog to obey commands. Our 75 pound border collie-black lab is prey sensitive and likes to pull. The prong collar gently reminds him to obey our commands and stop pulling. Our dog's obedience training instructor recommended it and she was totally right that the prong collar allows me to handle him better. He is a good dog and is much better on walks with the prong collar,

I do like this collar, but my first one broke so I ordered a new one, and it broke now too so I won't be getting this again.

We have 1 yr farm dogs, so they are not trained or used to a leash. In reading the reviews, no one mentioned long-haired large breed dogs. Our are Great Pyrenes/Anatolian/Shepherd. The product information was also confusing because while there are few breeds larger than ours, the collar length seemed to indicate we would need a M/L for both dogs, but the weight indicated one as a M/L and the other as a L/XL. The dogs now weigh, about 85 lbs and 105 lbs. Many reviewers say they had to take out links. I ordered both sizes. The size in the package worked great. The links are different sizes meaning the links on the M/L are not interchangeable with the L/XL. I am not sure if it has more to do with sizing or the long hair, but the collars were hard to take off. The dogs stood patiently while I struggled to remove the collars. I added the extra links and that solved the problem. If our dogs grow to 150 lbs, I will have to update this review--I don't know that the extra link will be enough for regularly removing the collar. As far as training and comfort, the dogs immediately obeyed and have on each walk this week. These work like charm! We are so happy. When a rabbit is spotted, they may still pull a bit, but only to a certain point, and certainly not to the point that we need to strain to keep them close. They are excellent for training, the dogs did not mind wearing them all day (now that they come off easier, we remove them after training), and they seem to be quite durable. Some reviewers said they left the collars on all day. I would not because they are a bit heavy for all day use and I would be concerned about the collar getting caught on something on the farm. For dog owners who keep their dog inside, personally, I would get tired of the sound of the collar. I recommend for training and/or walks only. Our true test will be when we take them to a public area and meet other people and dogs, but based off what have seen so far, I believe they will continue to obey with those distractions.

I have carpal tunnel in both my hands so standard prong collars are very difficult for me to take on/off. The quick release buckle is significantly easier to use and I love that it functions as a trachea guard as well. The bare tips are nicely rounded so they don't require the covers provided but I find them helpful for keeping the collar from sliding down your dog's neck. Over all it's very well made and easy to use.

First Impressions was, it’s huge! I might of taken Small for my German Shepherd. I took off 4 prongs and now have 6 prongs spare. There are only 4 prongs left on the collar. Idk how it will work as it will only squeeze the sides of the dog’s neck. Best suited for large necked dogs. Top quick release would be better, bottom uses prong space so there are less points of pressure.

My 30lb golden retriever puppy (at 7 months old) started running toward another dog and the collar snapped at the hook connector site. These collars are supposed to inhibit pulling and stop them when they feel a pinch from doing so. I have another traditional prong collar for my other dogs and they have never broken.
