Typical cheap made collar. Ends are jagged, not rounded and smooth, and need to be filed round and smooth. I just needed a couple of pieces for parts, and replaced all the prongs from extras of better quality collarsIf you don’t want to spend time filing ends of the prongs, don’t buy.

It seems like a sturdy product, but the prongs are flat and hard edged, which is not like the "smooth and rounded" description and imagery listed above. The kit comes with rubber nubs to place over the prongs, which was also not described above. The product probably changed design at some point, but the description has not.

There is a learning curve to adjusting the size and the removal and application process. That being said the difference between walking my medium size dog was night and day after use. My trainer recommended a prong collar and it has made walking her a joy. It is not painful I’ve used it on my neck it’s just pressure. If you’re afraid to use it consult a dog trainer to help you.We watched several YouTube tutorials to figure out how to remove links and apply the collar and remove after our…

This is a straight forward collar but well executed. The slack in the chain allows for the warning before the pinch. My lab is very high energy but this collar lets me walk him with no pulling. The few times he does try, the collar does it’s job without being too painful. He has never yelped or shown pain when it is pulled tight, but he always comes right back to my side.

Happy to change this review if this is by design and will be specified in product description.My dog was tied to a bench in the street (this is a mistake on my part not switching collars), she launched at another dog and just destroyed the collar and broke free.The breakthrough might have prevented an minor injury, but I can't trust this collar not to break when it shouldn't.
