Prong Collars for Dogs, No Pull Dog Collar, Dog Training Collar for Large Medium Small Dogs, Stainless Steel Adjustable with Comfort Rubber Tips (Large, 4.0mm, 23.6-Inch)

This collar is a MUST for any dog that can’t stop tugging on their leash. We had my mom’s (very poorly trained) dog stay with us four a few weeks. We sent her back home actually heeling while she walked next to us for the first time. Now my mom can safely walk her. It goes in and off easily, is lightweight, and serves as an effective training tool.

Works like it should

Fast shipment, Great Seller

I'm fine with the product in general, except for one thing - the strength it takes to remove the prongs and add them back while you're getting it adjusted to the dog's neck. It is outrageously difficult to "pinch" those prongs. The video with the girl saying you pinch the prongs is a total joke. It takes more than a pinch! I finally used a gripping tool (pliers) to work with one of the prongs, and it took me 3 tries. I struggled with leather gloves on for protection with the other prongs. I think I have the collar sized right for my female lab - I had to remove 4 prongs. The manufacturer of this collar needs to include some kind of a tool to move the prong ends together while removing or adding them - or advise buyers how hard it is to do this. I was furious last night as I struggled to almost midnight with this collar, and would have sent it back had I not been able to get it right. I'm not weak, by the way. I've put together all kinds of products ordered on-line, including big tv cabinets, all alone, as I have no help. Anyway, I took my lab out into the yard a few times today, and I seem to have better control of her - she is a terrible puller - she's 1 year and 5 months old and high-strung. I still cannot even think of taking her out in public, so I have hopes this collar is part of the solution to making a civilized dog out of her. I spent $1600 on private behavior lessons for her last summer - all for nothing. True to the breed, she is very lovable , but I'm afraid she will injure me with the pulling and bolting when she sees things she's unfamiliar with, like birds or strangers. She needs to learn that I'm the Alpha Dog in my pack of 3 dogs - not her. Hope this collar helps.

I didn’t want to go this route at first but my 90lb dog just pulls to much and a vet tech recommended. I have found that it helps so much with his pulling! He doesn’t even pull me at all anymore, real game changer. The only complaint I have is that now I cannot pull him either because I don’t want to hurt him but I guess I need to work on training a little more so he will listen, lol. Great training tool, would recommend to anyone having pulling issues!

So the collar is well made, sturdy, etc. However, as other reviewers have said the links are almost impossible to separate. Now please keep in mind that I have been a dog owner for twenty years plus and I have used these types of collars for all those years. I purchased this collar for my neighbor an 80 year old woman. No way was she going to be able to put this on her 100 lb boy as it came out of the box. I threw it on my 100 lb vise and tried to work the prongs so that they would be easier to open and close. After “working” one set of prongs, maybe it will be close enuf that 80 year old arthritic hands will be able to put it on and take it off. If not back to the vise it will go. Because it’s so tough to bend I think that it is a thumbs up for the quality/longevity of the collar. This collar is also not solid stainless steel. I discovered this by bending one of the links. Looks to be an alloy that is chromed. Not sure of my comments about this just saying. Btw the rubber prong covers are a nice touch being provided by the mfgr.

Update… At first this felt like a breath of fresh air but after our dog attacked another dog with a newly found hatred for other dogs we took him to a trainer and he explained. He told me it was most likely this prong collar that caused the issues. Dogs naturally pull when untrained. Every dog will pull when they see another dog untrained. This creates pain when he sees another dog by following his natural reaction of pulling. Dog associates pain with other animals and sometimes strangers. Nothing wrong with this collars structure build or price but it is absolutely not the correct answer. Have your dog trained properly please. We tossed our prong collar in place of a harness with a front and back connecting point to turn him away from the thing he tries to pull at. A positive reinforcement trainer will solve all your issues 70lb Pit- major pulling issues. You need this Our Pitbull although very nice, was an absolute nut on the leash/harness/whatever. He pulls at every bush, dog, tree, electrical box, squirrel, bird or falling leaf. He even pulled indoors and was starting to scratch up our hardwood. He pulled so much that my arm started to look like quagmire when he discovered the internet. My wife was scared to walk him and our daughter could not walk him at all. We thought we would need special training classes to calm him down from the excitement of being on a walk. After using this for one walk the results are instant. He has turned into a well mannered dog who crosses his paws and reads the newspaper. He says please and thank you and will most likely start cooking gourmet dinners for us soon. He pulls 90% less and understands the distance of the leash. I am happy with this product and like that it comes with with rubber nubs. 20ish inch neck. 19.8 inch chain. It has about 2 fingers worth of space before it starts getting tight. Any bigger and i would be afraid he could slip out. Dont be stubborn and say these are harmful/cruel . Save your dog the bruising and choking of regular equipment. You will thank yourself and so will your dog

My dogs neck is 19.5 inches at the top so I sized up and got a large the first time but it was way too big in every way so I recommend to not size up and measure where the image notes to measure just under the chin
