Pinch Collars can be a helpful training tool to stop unwanted behaviors such as jumping, pulling, nipping, and barking. When used properly, the prong collar can protect a dog from trachea damage as well as prevent owners from accidentally getting injured.
Fitting:
The Correct Way - When it sits high on the neck, under the jaw line.
The Wrong Way - When the collar is too loose and sits low on the neck. Like a necklace.
Rings:
There are two ways to attach a leash to the pinch collar. It can either be connected to the Live Ring or the Dead Ring. Each dog will vary.
Attach a safety clip to a flat buckle collar and the other ring.
Sizing:
1.5mm Micro Prongs: For X-Small to Small Dogs - Typically 15lbs and under
2.25mm Prongs For Medium To Large Dogs - Typically Under 70lbs
3.0mm Prongs: For Large to Extra Large Dogs - Typically 80lbs +
When Does A Dog Wear The Pinch Collar?
Pinch Collars are only to be worn when you are holding the leash, or when you are 100% supervising your dog. They should ALWAYS be taken off at nights, when your dog is left alone, put in their crate and when playing with other dogs.
Key Things To Remember:
-Prong collars are training aids, these collars only help with half of the training! You must show your dog the expected behavior after any correction is given and reinforce good behaviors.
-There is a difference between a fair and unfair correction. Figure out why the dog isn't listening before automatically correcting. When in doubt, help you dog out!
