Doggone Happy Training Doggone Happy Training Benefits of HERM SPRENGER Prong Collars
Total Control and Ease of Use: The HERM SPRENGER prong collar, known as the professional's choice, offers control over unruly dogs and is designed to be user-friendly. The added Aluminum Buckle Release allows for convenient fastening and unfastening without the need to manipulate individual prong links.
High-Quality Materials: These prong collars are made of polished chrome-plated steel, ensuring durability and longevity. The ends of the prongs are rounded, ensuring safety and preventing discomfort for the dog.
Safety and Effectiveness: When properly fitted and used correctly, prong collars can be safe and effective training tools. The blunt prongs apply gentle, even pressure around the dog's neck, resembling the correction behavior of a mother dog with her puppies. The pressure tightens when the dog pulls or lunges and is instantly released when the unwanted behavior stops.
Hand-Friendly Design: Unlike traditional prong collars that require frequent disconnection and reconnection of prong links, the HERM SPRENGER collar with the Aluminum Buckle Release spares your hands from potential discomfort.
Long-Term Cost Savings: By eliminating the need to regularly depress and potentially warp individual prong collars, the HERM SPRENGER collar with the Aluminum Buckle Release reduces the likelihood of requiring frequent replacements.
Enhanced Safety and Control: The use of the aluminum buckle release adapter ensures secure attachment, eliminating the risk of warped links detaching unexpectedly. This added security allows dog owners to maintain control over their dogs, preventing pulling, lunging, or running away.
For optimal results, it is crucial to ensure a proper fit for the prong collars. Measure your dog's neck and add 2 inches to determine the appropriate collar size. The prong collar should fit snugly just under the jaw, right behind the ears. For example, the 2.25mm collar typically measures 14 inches, but with the buckle adapter, it becomes 15 1/2 inches. If the 3.0mm collar is unavailable, the 3.2mm collar can serve as a suitable substitute, measuring 23 inches and weighing only 1.4 ounces more.
Safe Usage Recommendations:
Avoid Prong Collars in Wire Crates: Dogs should not wear prong collars inside wire crates, as they may get hooked to a rung. Instead, remove the collar before placing the dog inside the crate and reattach it once the dog is safely released.
Prevent "Collar Smart" Behavior: To discourage your dog from associating obedience or leash manners solely with the absence of the prong collar, ensure that your dog sits or lies down before opening the crate. Attach the leash to the collar before releasing your dog, promoting consistent training and behavior.
Professional Supervision: Unless you are a trained professional, avoid leaving your dog unattended and tethered while wearing a training prong collars.
