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. 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. Plastic prong covering plugs are available to purchase separately to protect the coat of shorter haired dogs if necessary. The unique Curogan alloy collar is designed not to mark a dog's coat either light or dark, it's antiqued copper colour is an exceptional finish.
When putting the prong collar on your dog there is no particular place you or your dog needs to stand or sit. This collar requires the links to be separated for fitting. Since you will be undoing either a snap on a quick-release style, or separating links to put it on, there is no right or wrong way for it to lay on the neck. The only consideration would be if the collar is too loose or too tight. 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 :)

The prong collar is recommended by German state-licensed and accredited instructors, and also by the federation of organized instructors, because it works. If it doesn’t work for you or you are uncertain of the safest way to walk your dog using a prong collar, please contact a dog trainer or expert, and ask for help. The prong collar should not be used to 'drag' your dog, a light guiding touch to let your dog know which way is not acceptable is all that you will need with practice as the dogs behaviour improves. Herm Sprenger Prong or Pinch collars are renowned worldwide as the professionals choice.
The corrosion resistant curogan is a copper and tin alloy with a high copper content and various alloy additives which makes the material strong, but without any nickel. As a result the curogan chains drastically reduce a potential discolouration of light haired dogs as seen with normal metals. After selling the curogan collars for 12 years, experience shows that less than 10% of light haired dogs experienced a level of discolouration. A further advantage of curogan is that the alloy is completely free of nickel. More often nickel is responsible for allergic reactions of sensitive skinned dogs and can be the cause of skin rashes. With the benefit of added strength, increased longevity and a rich copper colour, curogan is a natural choice as an alternative to brass collars.
International customers welcome.
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.
