The Herm Sprenger Black Stainless Steel Prong collar is one of the most recognizable and popular names in obedience training tools. A safe and effective alternative to choker collars, it puts even pressure around the neck, about every half inch, pinching the skin in a band. This collar does not apply direct pressure to the trachea, so you can train your dog with little or no tugging, jerking, or pulling. The addition of a center plate connector allows the middle link to be configured symmetrically, enabling the prongs to tighten in the same direction. Made of high quality German Black stainless steel, the size of this collar can be adjusted by adding or removing the links individually. The comfort version with ring and swivel offers highest flexibility between dog collar and leash due to the swivel.

- Interlocking links, each link equipped with two blunt prongs

- Slightly beveled prong tips

This collar is made of black stainless steel. Each collar made of this material has a high-gloss surface. But it is not all. Black stainless steel is the same composition of iron, chromium, silicon, nickel and carbon that make up traditional stainless steel products. The collar will not rust even in conditions of seawater or high humidity. Also it has a protective coating of polymer that creates a black finish. Black stainless steel is as durable as classic stainless steel, but features a richer, deeper colored finish.
This black stainless steel collar is suitable for dogs with dark fur and those canines who are not reactive to nickel. The collars made of black stainless steel are not recommended for dogs with light coat, as because of normal abrasion processes they may color fur.
All Herm Sprenger pinch collars come in a standard length which is adjusted to fit the neck of the dog by removing or adding links.
Sizing instructions: collar should fit snuggly just below the dog's ears, measure the circumference of dog's neck and add 2".
