COLLAR STYLES | Slip/Choke, Fur Saver, Prong Training, and NeckTech. Collars are offered in many sizes, lengths, short and long links, prong sizes, and metal compositions. Compositions include steel, chrome-plated steel, stainless steel, anodized black stainless steel, and Curogan (an alloy created for dogs with nickel sensitivity).
SIZE NOTE | These collars are made in metric measurements, then converted to rounded-up inches for the U.S. market.
CLEANING | Before use, wash metal collars in warm, mild soapy water to minimize fur discoloration.
SIZING, FIT, TIPS | For Slip/Choke Collars: Measure BOTH dog's neck and widest part of dog's head. Add 2 inches to the largest number for initial length that will slip over dog's head. Prong Collars and Neck Tech Collars: Measure dog's neck and add 2 inches. This will be "initial" collar size. You can adjust the collar by removing or adding links/elements to achieve a comfortable, snug training fit.
TRAINING COLLARS | Training collars are intended for supervised training sessions when the handler is communicating a desired behavior. All users of training collars/devices should be informed and understand how to use training collars/devices. Never leave a dog unsupervised or alone in a training collar/device. Do not leave training collars/devices on a dog full-time. Do not use retractable leash devices or elastic/tension leads with training collar/device. Do not use prong collars or choke/slip chains on dogs younger than 6 months.
Prong Links and Neck Tech Elements can be purchased separately in multi-packs. When ordering, ensure you are ordering the correct millimeter sized prong link.
