Best training tool ever!May 02, 2012
By Tara K. Usilton
My little dog has sever other dog aggression that was only getting worse and worse. I got a trainer who finally told me how it really was and recommended this collar as a training tool. My little guy was able to work out his aggression issues and is doing much better and I credit this collar (and the trainer) with that.
Just right...May 01, 2012

I bought this collar for my 50lb pit mix, I had to add a link to lengthen it but the small size is way more effective than the larger ones and it stays in the right place just behind her ears. This is the only collar which keeps her from pulling my arm out of the socket, I never have to use corrections, it just uses her natural weight and instincts to correct herself. I actually now walk her off leash even on the street and she will stay at a heel by my side because I was finally able to teach her the boundaries on walks. I would highly recommend the small size even for large breeds because with more smaller links it is more effective and makes your dog look less intimidating to others.
There are people who give these collars a bad rap but when used correctly they can actually be much more humane and natural than a head halter which often rubs a dog's face raw and makes them feel trapped. This collar appears to sum like spikes pointed into a dog's neck but really they are at an angle and just apply pressure when your dog pulls. They should fit snug behind the ears where it will not be pressing on the throat at all. It should not dangle or slide around at all which could be dangerous if it were caught on something. And I would never leave it on my dog while she is off leash either.
One more thing, Herm Sprenger is the leading brand for prong collars. Don't bother buying slightly cheaper ones. They will fall apart and the metal ends are blunt and not rounded like this collar. Also, the quick release style has come undone on me before so it is best to get this type which is only a tiny bit of extra effort to get on and off, it is especially easy in the small size. It also has a gap in the center and the links on either size point up which a nice new style addition.
New center plateMar 06, 2012

Perfect for our Mini-Aussie. We removed one link for a better fit. This product came with the new center plate which the photos do not reflect. Links look delicate but suitable for a small dog. Brilliant polished finish with Herm Sprenger and Made in Germany on rings, triangle attaching and center plates.
well-made and adjustableFeb 24, 2012
By Janette Smith
This 'pinch collar' is great for the smaller dog with an intense focus. (I have a rescued mini-schnauzer.) If used properly, will snap the dog out of the trance-like state. You may add or subtract links for proper fit. If your dog is sensitive, then you don't need this. A choke collar (misnomer,since it really just provides a momentary jolt at the top of the neck) or a softer martingale style will do the job. Start with the 'softest' correction and work up. Have a professional person show you how to be a leader. - This collar is well-made.
The BEST brand of the BEST training collar!Dec 05, 2009

Once you go Herm Sprenger, you'll never go back!
A prong collar is (generally speaking) the safest and most effective training collar available; far superior to slip collar (choke chains) or head halters (such as the Gentle Leader).
Not only that, but Herm Sprenger collars are by FAR the best brand of prong collar on the market. They are carefully crafted, and unlike the cheaper brands, do not bend or become warped with time. They are highly unlike to pop off should the dog lunge. It will only take one HS collar to make a believer out of you. Even at a glance, it makes cheaper brands appear to be made of paper clips.
The tips on this collar are also carefully rounded. The flat tips on cheaper brands can irritate some dogs with sensitive skin. The action of this collar is also superior to other brands, and features very fluid movement.
The prong collar is the choice of knowledgeable dog trainers, and HS is their brand of choice!
