  • 1 Herm Sprenger Training Dog Collar

Whether you plan on teaching your dog to heel or to stop pulling on the leash, a prong collar can be an excellent tool for dog training. The prongs are placed around the dog’s neck, and when there is any pressure exerted on the leash, they dig into the dog’s skin, creating a prickly sensation that immediately tells them to stop pulling. You can also use this training collar in conjunction with positive reinforcement like treats and praises to correct unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, and jumping.

Let’s take a look at a few factors worth considering before buying a prong dog collar:

Correction Level

The level of correction provided by a prong collar depends on the size of the prongs and how far apart they are spaced. Small prongs with blunt tips provide light corrections, while large prongs with pointed edges can provide strong corrections — especially beneficial for ill-behaved and disobedient dogs.

Size

Unlike traditional collars, a prong collar must be placed snugly near the dog's throat for it to work properly. If it is placed too high or too low, it will not be effective and may cause more harm than good. For this reason, you should measure your dog's neck and buy a collar accordingly. The prong collar should also have a quick-release clasp so you can easily remove it in an emergency.

Dog’s Temperament

Before buying any dog training collar, it is important to understand your dog's temperament. If your pooch is aggressive and has a vicious nature, then this collar can be very effective in curbing bad behavior. If you have a timid or submissive dog, however, then a simple vibrating electric collar or beep collar might be better suited for your needs.

Keep in mind that some dogs with low pain thresholds may find this type of collar uncomfortable so keep an eye out for signs of stress such as drooling, panting, or whining while training them. If you notice any of these symptoms, remove the collar immediately and consult with a veterinarian before using it again.
