Herm. Sprenger Prong Collar Extra Links, 2.25 mm

Despite merchandise’s tiny size and light weight, the Shipping & Handling is much higher than usual and higher than cost of item. I must have overlooked during ordering. Other than that, it’s an authentic Herm Sprenger at a good price and excellent packing.

Great design, I had to get a couple extra links to fit my APB's neck, this is a very good training tool once you are educated how to use it right! I'm still learning, but my first walk with the dogs was very easy and uneventful and there was no pain to the dog, no yelping, no tugging. I even tried it on, gave it a tug and it pinches but it doesn't hurt! Think of the guy laying on a bed of nails, pressure dispersal, now think of those nails being rounded and smooth. This is supposed to imitate getting nipped by a mother, it seems to work well with both my German Shepherd and APB, the Shep was more touchy to it. Both did very well and it was a 180 from how they walked on a standard collar. No yelping, jumping at other dogs, trying to yank mine or the kids' arms off, no stopping to pee or smell everything without notice, etc. They walked great, and I am sure after a little time with these, going back to the standard collar walking will be a piece of cake! Then someone else can use these!

Si el collar le quedó chico a tu perro como en mi caso, estos eslabón es sin la solución

I came from the skeptical side. I wrongly believed these hurt dogs. On the contrary, strangulation from the collar is the real danger. This collar tells the dog: "slow down buddy" without hurting them. Labs pull like little horses

Works as advertised with proper sizing and execution. First time using one after growing up thinking they were inhumane - no lesions, no redness, no aggression, no resent coming from my pup. When she sees the collar, she knows it's serious walking/ training time and is visibly excited just like when we put on her front clip harness for longer walks. If you've been considering a prong collar for a while but are worried what people will think of you and your relationship with your dog, just educate yourself enough so you're prepared to educate others. :) Highly recommend these ones in particular for their build quality and rounded ends which are very important.
