The prong collar is an extremely effective alternative to a choke chain for controlling your dog when going for a walk, and is ideal for owners who's dogs pull on the lead. The prong collar is gentle method of restraining your dogs tendency to choke itself while putting unnecessary pressure on the neck. When used correctly the collar offers fantastic and instantly noticeable results. We highly recommend using the collar sensibly as not to hurt your dog, and if you're uncertain at any point, please stop and consult a qualified trainer. The prong collar is best suited for use with a short lead where keeping the dog close to you allows better control, please see the Audenham English bridle leather hand loop and short lead in our listings for uncompromising quality and craftsmanship. The assumption that this collar ‘pinches’ when on the dog and pressure is applied, is a falsehood. It neither pinches or pokes the neck in a way that would cause injury.
Refrain from slipping this kind of collar over your dog’s head to keep from injuring the eyes. Don’t allow your dog to wear the prong collar with the prongs facing outward (inside out). The collar should be removed when the dog is off the leash and has space to run or play, the prong collar is not a replacement for your dog's usual collar and can be used in conjunction with almost any collar your dog wears daily. Please buy an ID tag for your dog :)

There are a large number of dogs that love the water. Other dog groups are regularly in contact with water such as hunting dogs, working dogs and police/security dogs. Chains made of normal steel will become dull after contact with water, and salt water will roughen the plating layer which results in rusting. This cannot happen with quality stainless steel. Additionally you have the advantage of a higher breaking load which will give you better security and a longer chain lifespan. The exceptional durability and longevity of stainless steel is therefore reflected in the price, however you have the piece of mind to know that with care the collar will likely never need replacing. Remember to thoroughly dry your prong collar after use and store it away safely.
We are unfortunately unable at present to post prong collars to Australia due to a badly written import restriction. We are working on the issue and hope to be able to resume deliveries to Australia in the future.
