Herm SprengerStainless 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!

This is a great product. I went with some cheaper alternatives at first, but ultimately I’m very glad I switched to this able to adjust it as my animal grows 10 out of 10 very much worth it

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 am using my husband’s account. This Herm Sprenger prong collar is genuine German quality item; no questions on this. I was back and forth between O Ring- O Ring or swivel ring. I bought this set because of very nice rubber cups and extra prong pieces. While my dog does not need extra pieces; he needs rubber cups. I bought Herm Sprenger lock separately; so, original size 2.25 with the lock attached perfectly fits my dog 58 lb. Well, what did not work for me, the leash hook 🪝 stuck in the swivel ring which is considerably small; so, I decided to return this collar and still will buy 2.25 with O ring - O ring. I keep Herm Sprenger lock 2.25 which I bought separately. I regret to return rubber cups, they are very nice pieces; but I have to return the whole set (collar 2.25, 3 extra prong pieces, rubber cups).

this collar is a game changer. we had a trainer come to help us and unless we just constantly fed him treats he would not listen and behavior would not change.walking him was EXHAUSTING. we had a harness and he is a small bully type dog (1/2 Frenchy, part terrier). and he would drag us all over the place- a few times dragging my 12 year old kid into the street. he pulled my back out and my daughters! also when seeing dogs he would start barking in a way you think he would attack and other people would get mad or anxious around us.we started with this collar and magically he changes his behavior!!! there is slack on the leash! he stopped pulling. he walks with us instead of dragging us. he does not like the sensation on his neck when he pulls so he magically stops!!! when he sees dogs and starts to lunge he stops! if he does start barking i just lightly tug on this collar and he stops!i watched a video about how to use this property so it's a tool not a device of torture. google robert cabral. he shows how to properly fit this and not use it to harm your dog. very useful.thank you for this collar omg! we almost had to rehome our dog and now we do not have to. walking is no longer stressful. we have control over our dog. it's a game changer
