I have an out of control 100 plus lbs. Newfy puppy and this collar holds up and allows me to train, Groom and walk this wild child!

My son walks our German Shepherd. She is eleven months old and strong as a horse. He said he could hardly believe the dramatic difference between walking her with a regular collar and this pinch collar. Best purchase I've made in a while.

Herm Springer still making the best IMO. The quick release feature is great. So glad I went with this style and I can still add links if needed.

Sprenger was recommended to us and it works.

Effective product ; great quality

As you can see, it appears I have received a genuine herm sprenger prong. It does in fact have a quick release as well (which by the way is sooo nice) along with the plate in the middle separating the two directions of prongs. In addition, I checked each prong and they are all smooth with no sharp points.I have been using the traditional prong collar on my dog for a few months as she is very much a puller and will pull through every tool I have. I've used her regular collar, the front clip harness (suggested by the vet lol), the slip lead, basically everything except the head halter (which I refuse to use due to how dangerous it is if your dog does pull). The traditional prong I had was too big for her so I couldn't take out enough prongs otherwise it would be too tight. However, with it as loose as it was it wasn't sitting in the proper spot to be effective. It also turned my dogs neck so grey.I've had this prong for about a month now and I am very pleased. I was able to take out enough prongs and now it sits perfectly where I want it to. She rarely tries to pull through it unless there is an aggressive dog trying to get her, it doesn't leave her neck nearly as grey (still a little but almost not noticeable at this point), is much less bulky, and is much easier to get on and off as I only have the collar on her when we go outside.I have been wanting a herm sprenger for awhile and am glad I got the real thing with the quick release.

The quick release is awesome. Great collar wonderful German design.

My dog responded well to this collar. She is very anxious. We can now walk her with ease.

I tried the knock-off only to return it two days later. I then purchased a Herm Sprenger training collar. First time on, she got the message, no more leash pulling. It's that effective! No need to yank on the collar, just a soft correction will do it for most dogs. I purchased one size larger, as I can always remove links once she grows.Highly recommended!!!

Works great for our big puppy, links are easy to remove and easy to add back.

I love this product. Walking my dog has eliminated all stress now. Easy on and off.

Do you have a dog that thinks every walk is the Iditarod? Our 8 month old husky certainly does. Harnesses made it easier to handle his pulling, and martingale collars did nothing, so on the suggestion of a husky group I bought one of these. Yes it was expensive, but it's THE model and all the negative reviews are when people got fakes.I don't believe the one I received is a fake - says Sprenger everywhere, points are not too pointy, etc. I don't have a reference as I've never owned one.First time using it was a Hail Mary bringing the dog with us to Home Depot and my 3 year old twins. I really needed the dog to behave and he's the type where everyone he meets is his next BFF. To my amazement, he learned very quickly to not pull, and he kept his composure the entire 10 minutes we were in the store! No lunging at people, no barking, just a very calm pup.

We have a young large dog who pulls a lot. This was the perfect solution.It is hard remove and add pieces, but thats too be expected for this type of collar.

amazing dog training tool

Turned my pulling jumping friendly dog into an angel on walks. I was a bit daft and didn't realize there is a clip you use to take it on and off! For a whole week I was pulling the thing apart to take it off and on, but there is a clip you just pinch to open and it falls away. I wish I could say I worked this out on my own but nope... Some kind soul at the dog park showed me. They should make it more obvious.

easy to remove, strong yet comfortable for my dog

Love it no more pulling the pitts no what I want evertime lovethis I wish I would have gotten it sooner .price was good came quick so for me this was a 10 thanks

These work great!!! Very good quality!!!

Wasn't a fan of these but my dogs trainer made me understand that when they are used properly they aren't a bad thing. It's actually a good thing and my Doberman really doesn't dislike it as it was introduce in a proper way. He will be moving on to a E collar soon by his trainer

Love this collar! Don't hesitate to get one like I did. My pit hound is a different dog! More responsive, listens, doesn't pull anymore. Somehow this touches on their dog language and I'm more relaxed so he is too. A MUST-HAVE item. It is completely safe and it helps their understanding of what is expected of them. Mine actually will sleep with it on. There's also the black tips you can purchase to add to the prong ends if preferred. But to me, it's not really necessary unless you like the option.
