COLLARS RECOMMENDED FOR TRAINING:

  • Buckle collars for puppies or easy to manage dogs.

  • Martingale collars provide “limited choke” on the dog’s neck. These collars are not easy to accidentally slip off as they really fit the neck of your dog in a nice way. Martingale collars eliminate the danger of choking even if the dog gets very excited. The nylon section of this collar is designed to reduce the loss of neck hair or matting.

  • Prong Collars are especially made for dogs that are strong pullers or difficult to control. These collars apply pressure on the protruding areas in the dog’s neck therefore; it effectively catches the dog’s attention. This kind of dog training collar does not damage the dog’s windpipe.  Proper fitting is essential.  We offer both regular and micro-prong.

COLLARS FOR HOME USE:

  • Quick Release collars are fine for use around the house (not on walks), but the plastic can break and release when you least want it to.  You should inspect the clasp often.

NOTES:

  • Training collars, specifically Martingale and Prong, should be properly fitted by a professional.

  • Collars on puppies should be checked for fit often as they quickly grow out of them.  You should be able to easily slip two fingers under the collar.
