Safe Prong Dog Collar with Swivel and Quick Release Snap Hook - 1/9 inch (3.0 mm)

Dog Pinch Collar with swivel and quick release snap hook

Herm Sprenger Collars are known all over the world for its best quality and new designs. This Pinch Collar (also called Prong Collar) is made of metal and has prongs evenly linked around the collar. It should be worn high on your dog's neck, right under the chin and behind his ears. This collar will do the best for those dogs that have problems with behavior, but you must remember that it's first function is training, that's why wearing this collar in daily life, do not forget to take it off, when the dog is left alone.

Pinch/Prong Collars can be of different sizes, but it depends not only on the collar length that can vary from 16 inch (40 cm) to 25 inch (65 cm), but also from the diameter of the prongs. The thinner the prongs are, the more affect they will put on the dog.

The size of this particular Pinch Dog Collar is 21 inch (53 cm) with prongs diameter - 1/9 inch (3.00 mm). The weight of this Dog Pinch Collar is about 7 oz (200 g).

If your dog's neck circumference is more than 21 inch (53 cm), you can order an additional link, that will add 1 2/5 inch (3.5 cm) to the total collar length.

This Pinch Dog Collar has gained more attractive features as it was processed with the help of Herm Sprenger new technique, called Chrome Plating. It is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. Due to this new technique, the collar usually looks more decorative, then that made of ordinary stainless steel. The chromed layer will provide rust resistance for your collar, as well as ease cleaning procedures. These collars will serve you and your dog for years.

How do these chains look so shiny and have such strong surface? Whereas other manufacturers only dip the chains before galvanizing, Sprenger uses a different procedure of mirror-bright polishing. Dipping means to remove non-metallic unclean things like oil from the chains. The metal becomes clear but has no surface polishing. The advantage of Sprenger polishing is that the surface becomes much smoother and has this special bright shine. After tumbling, the chains are nickel or chrome plated. Nickel and chrome baths are monitored permanently by a laboratory. Sprenger examines the grip of the nickel layer through "bending" tests before the chains are chromium plated. This collar consists only of welded parts, that will serve your dog for a long time. All parts are chromium plated, so it increases in its tensile strength.

This Dog Pinch Collar differs from other collars with a new scissor type quick release snap hook. Its main features are:

• it has a welded swivel;
• it can be easily handled to the leash and unhanded of the dog, so that it will take you less time to do it;
• due to precision work this collar has obtained extreme strength properties;
• under tension the jaws are kept closed by counter pressure of the bolt, there is no need to worry that it would open at any moment;
• as other Herm Sprenger products has a stamp "HS-Germany" on the swivel, that one more time warrants the highest quality of this collar.
