🐶 Herm Sprenger Dog Collar Review

Love it! Bought on the recommendation of a trainer to use a spiked collar on our 60 lb pit bull and it has changed the way we walk and various training tactics. We've had it for about two months now and it still snaps in and out like new. It needs a bit of practice and it's definitely bigger so with my small hands it's still hard for me to grab the individual tabs to put on and take off, but I feel like that's the nature of a collar (should don't just be take off). I recommend it 100% but along

Buying a prong collar was the last resort in controlling our 50 lb German Shepherd mix, who used to be a rural outdoor dog. He hunts prey, not treats, when small game (squirrels) are everywhere; he just wants to hunt. He is not aggressive towards other dogs and very friendly towards people - he just wants to catch and kill squirrels. From the first walk with Herm Sprenger's collar, my boy understood the limits of what is possible. I make sure it is loose when walking so that it does not cause…

I always thought I would never use something like this on a dog - I've changed my mind. I am raising two German Shepherds who have lived in an aviary with little human contact for over 8 years. Needless to say, they are dragging and will drag me down the street. I've tried not to pull on the straps and the v-strap on the nose but to no avail. Under the guidance of a trainer, I learned how to use a Sprenger collar. What a transformation. A short pull on the leash - and suddenly both walk on…

This is my first Herm Sprenger for my 6 month old German Shepherd and reviews of other listings mentioned fake collars which bothered me. I've seen some silver versions of this collar for about half the price but many reviews said they were fake. After reading the reviews on this offering I ordered a 23" from a PawsNW seller (December 2019) and it is genuine. The swivel ring bears HS GERMANY INNOX as does the round dead ring. The dead ring also has a small triangular one Label with a…

This choke collar is amazing. It gags like any other collar (I used another fake one that I borrowed from our friend), the teeth are NOT sharp, it's black and after about 2 weeks of use it has no chips or chips in the paint. I bought the 3.25mm and it's smaller than I expected, obviously it's the size so check with the ruler to pick the right one. It's a lot lighter than the other one we've used and feels, as they say, strong and secure, maybe just better metal. Anyway, our four-legged son is a

The item I ordered was genuine and arrived in good condition. Sent on time, the seller had no problems with the purchase. The collar itself is of good quality. My dog is smaller than Pitt, has a 16 inch neck, but is only 40 pounds and is small. Finding a pen that suits her was a challenge. I ordered the small size first (as the black stainless steel medium is out of stock) and while it fit around her neck, the pins/links were too small; Designed for Chihuahua or other smaller breeds. I wanted…

My experience with the Black Stainless Steel Sprenger Clamp Ring couldn't be better. The item arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It wasn't overloaded, which is very important to me. It was exactly as described and when it was down a link I knew it was a measurement error on my part. No problem as I have an old collar from which I was able to extract the link. My dog Rocco is a Cane Corso, meaning a big guy. Although very well trained, he was trained on a spiked collar and this is the…

My Belgian Shepherd Dog/Tervuren was trained in the east except for walking on a loose leash. He loved to pull and, on rare occasions, tumble. After waiting too long to try the spiked collar, I was impressed by how quickly (instantly) he responded to it. Although a few times he'll tug and twist enough to cause a little pain, this is almost always not a problem. And certainly less discomfort than constant collar pressure. Since using this collar I have found that I can walk it off the leash in…
