 Best collar ever!Feb 16, 2010
By Sally C.
"Dog lover"
I was hesitant to get this collar. It looks scary and I was afraid it would hurt my dog. It was my last resort for her "leash aggression". After just two walks, she is like a different dog! I even bought a smaller one for my other dog who was pulling. She responded immediately. Now both dogs walk perfect! I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Don't let the looks of it frighten you. Your dog will get the message right away that you mean business. I am getting another dog and will start his training on this collar (the breeder uses it too).

works great very quickly!Jan 14, 2011
By Julie M. Furry
we adopted a basset who was completely out of control on leash and out for walks. Lunging uncontrollably at people and dogs she went by for attention, we couldn't even get a block away without her going crazy.
I ordered this collar and now 2 days later I took her to my daughter's bus stop and she sat at my side didn't lunge or try to drag me towards the kids so she could jump all over them. I've only done maybe 3 small corrections and then she gets praise for being a good girl.
our hopes are to get her to act this well on a standard buckle collar in time but this is definetely a life saver for her! And she is happy to wear it never seems to be in pain and we've had it properly fitted by our trainer before using it. I do not believe these are bad collars when used properly and this is he best brand on the market. They do not instill pain me and my husband both tried it and gave ourselves a much harder correction than given to the dog.

Works great, very fast delivery, thank you!Aug 18, 2010
By Tommy V
I was not a fan of these types of collars before talking to a trainer about this specific brand. It's sturdy, it works, and the ends of the 'teeth' are flat so they don't remotely come close to piercing the skin on the dog's neck. Works well and is easy to adjust.

Interesting, effective toolAug 24, 2010
By B. Saylor
I was at a loss w/leash training my wild pup. So, after hearing the Herm collars were the best, I decided to get one for my 9-mo-old 30-lb dingo mutt. The sizing was a bit tricky for me, i removed two links & it still seems effective. She's growing, so overall it's a good choice. She's a sturdy pup & pretty nuts on our walks. I tried loose-leash training w/a regular collar & also a harness, both just ended in frustration for both of us. This is a dog w/an endless supply of puppy energy, usually we walk 3mi+ daily--even in the heat, her squirrel reserve light is always on, & she will lunge at every bird/squirrel/dog etc we pass. On the prong collar, she's doing better. The first time i just led her in the house so she could get used to it. The next day we just did a half block outside, & she did yelp when she lunged at a squirrel, seemed really confused, looked at me accusingly. I did the short quick tug when she started getting a lil ahead, she responded. She's not a dumb dog, but, it's a new experience for sure. I guess the key is to stay in charge, don't feel too bad, if you're using the collar correctly it won't really hurt them, tho when they lunge I imagine it's not pleasant of course, which is the point. It helps to find more usage instructions online--the collar did not come w/any tips.
After several weeks, she's definitely fine w/me putting it on every time, ecstatic we're headed on a walk. I always take her regular collar w/me in case I need it for some reason, but haven't so far. Only issues: It's probably not as effective if you remove 1 or 2 links (she'll grow into it, tho); that said, she will sometimes slowly puuuulll towards something (through the pinch!) & I have to tug a few times to correct her; &, I'm not sure how long I'll need to use the collar b4 she will heel, etc., w/out the prong collar. Regardless, the collar for us has totally been worth the price & made a GIGANTIC difference in the quality of our outings. It's all about focus for us both, every time. I don't talk on the cellphone or daydream, & I use structure & stop occasionaly for "sit" or other lil exercises, & she knows I'm in charge & honestly seems much more relaxed on our walks! :)

Fantastic and humane tool when used properlyDec 29, 2011
By Amanda Farris
The Sprenger collar was specifically recommended by our trainer for our two dogs - a 70-pound shepherd mix and a 30-pound schnauzer mix. The big guy was too big to control during a walk and the little girl was choking herself. After just a few minutes in these collars, the little one was trotting along like a pro and the big one was tons better (though not perfect yet). This without ANY "correction" from my husband or me. In fact, the absolute key is NOT correcting. Keep your hand steady on the leash, and the dog will immediately understand that any pressure they feel is in direct correlation with their own lunging. Our trainer actually taught us first how to walk and turn, so if you have reservations, please consult a trainer and get a lesson of your own!
Anyway, please don't think these are cruel at all. My husband and I were shocked when the trainer recommended these collars and immediately objected, but when we put our arms in and yanked, the sensation was not painful. The trainer said the spacing and dullness of the prongs mimics the mother's teeth when she corrects the puppies. That's why he recommended this brand specifically.
My dogs love to see these collars and I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them to others who are committed to using them properly.
