Why would a small/medium sized or toy dog really need a prong collar?  Well, they may not be able to pull you over like an 80kg bordeaux on a charge, and they may seem easy to hold back on a leash, but the prong collar isn't just there to protect the owner from a strained arm.  Even smaller and toy dogs can suffer damage to their necks by pulling against a collar.  It's easy for an owner to tug a leash too hard and hurt a little neck, ideally the focus should be on preventing your toy dog pulling in the first place which removes the need to tug a smaller dog back.  A misconception is having a prong collar for the benefit of the owner alone, the prong collar is actually used to prevent your dog causing undue injury to itself too.  The larger gauge prong collars with links removed can still be effective, but are bulky and heavy on a little neck, fortunately Herm Sprenger can provide a matching collar for every dog size.

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.

When putting the prong collar on your dog there is no particular place you or your dog needs to stand or sit.  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 :)

Please ensure you measure your dog's neck properly before adjusting and putting on the prong collar.  The collar can be adjusted very easily by adding or removing links. The most suitable size for the chain is the width of the dogs neck plus 5cm / 2 inches.

The prong collar is recommended by German state-licensed and accredited instructors, and also by the federation of organized instructors, because it works. If the prong collar 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 behavior 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 increased longevity and a rich copper colour, curogan is a natural choice as an alternative to brass collars.
