Stainless Steel Ultra-Plus Dog Collar with Swivel D-Ring, 3 Extra Links, 30 Comfort Tips for Small Medium Large Dogs Professional Training Collar Made in Germany (Small-Medium)

Excellent quality, as all Herm sprenger products

I train Therapy Dogs. Once I determine a dog has the innate disposition and temperament for this type of work, obedience then becomes of utmost importance. First of all, pet owners should understand that prong collars, used CORRECTLY, are a miraculous tool for training, used by professionals to train working dogs. They are NOT cruel, nor painful to the animal. Recommended by a friend who trains K9 dogs, (mostly Malinois and GS) I bought this brand collar. I’ve successfully used pronged collars in the past for my large Doberman, Rottweiler, Bulldog, but none as high quality as this one. I now have my first “small” dog, fine-boned 40 pound poodle cavapoo mix puppy with a mere 12” neck. She was pulling so badly while in her collar she was practically choking herself. It’s very difficult to give a proper “correction” through a regular collar. Vests are pretty worthless in my opinion, allowing no training communication between owner and dog via the leash, just pull pull pull. I thought she might be too small for a pronged collar, but the trainer said almost any dog that pulls, regardless of size, will respond better to this training collar, and this is the only brand he will use. I like the fact that they have the option for an easy release closure, which I highly recommend if you have arthritis in your hands like this old dog woman has! The first time I put this collar on her she immediately responded to “heel” with only minor correction. I immediately ordered another one of these for my larger blue heeler Bulldog cross as a replacement for his inexpensive prong collar. Now I’m able to have enough control over both dogs to walk one on each side, no easy feat for a big dog and a puppy in training!

Producto original Habia leido referencias que evitara comprar este collar en amazon porque no eran los originales. Sin embargo, llego en tiempo especificado y puedo confirmar que es collar de marca original Sprenger.

Great product. Saves dogs and people.

This is my second time getting a prong collar. The first one was a fail for sure. I got a different brand than H.S. The links were way too huge and I had the prong way too large, my dog just pulled through it. But the links in the 2.25 Herm, are very small, easy to remove and put back together, and it works wonders when fitted properly. You have to have it snugly fit right behind your dog’s ears. The 2.25 works very well on my 70lb Golden Retriever. Prong collars aren’t for every dog, if this top of the line prong doesn’t work for you after having it fit correctly and used properly, I suggest a Gentle Leader head collar. That too also is amazing and less aversive than the prong.

I like the comfort tips. It does what it is suppose to. Prefer that it would have a decent way to open and close so that It could be tighter on the dogs neck so it doesn’t slide around. Also with the attachment ring for a leash was larger. Recommended by a dog trainer. She takes hers off & on at one of the links which weakens them over time. You cannot do that with the comfort tips so I use according to the directions (which makes it slide around too much). But overall this is great for training a strongwilled dog. I do think these are overpriced for what you get but it does it job.
