The Herm Sprenger Stainless Steel Prong collar in black color 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 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
- Easy to increase or decrease in size
- Made of high quality stainless steel in black color

This collar is made of stainless steel. Each collar made of this material has a high-gloss surface. But it is not all. 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.
This stainless steel collar in black color is suitable for dogs with dark fur and those canines who are not reactive to nickel. The collars made of 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.
