Chrome PLated Pinch Dog Collar for Obedience Training - Herm Sprenger Collar

Durable Dog Pinch Collar with swivel

Dear customers, pay attention to new Herm Sprenger Pinch Collar with swivel and small quick release snap hook (also named Prong Collar). It is usually made of metal and has prongs evenly arranged around the collar. It should be placed high on the dog's neck, right under dog's chin and behind his ears. This collar will be necessary for those dogs who have problems with behavior, but you are to remember that it should be used only for training aims.

Pinch/Prong Collars have various sizes, but it depends not only on the collar's length that can vary from 16 inch (40 cm) to 25 inch (65 cm), but also on the diameter of the prongs. The thinner the prongs are, the stronger impact they will put on the dog.

The size of this particular Pinch Dog Collar is 25 inch (65 cm) with prong's diameter - 1/6 inch (3.9 mm). If your dog's neck circumference is more then 25 inch (65 cm), you can order an additional link, that will add 1 4/5 inch (4.5 cm) to the total collar length.

This Pinch Dog Collar was made with the help of Herm Sprenger new method (which took huge amount of time to invent it), called Chrome Plating. It is a method of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. Collars that undergo this process, usually look more exquisite, than normal stainless steel. The chromed layer will provide corrosion resistance for the collar, as well as easy cleaning procedures. These collars will serve you and your dog for a long time.

How do these chains look so shiny and have such strong surface?
Whereas other manufacturers only dip the chains before halvanizing, Sprenger uses a different procedure of mirror-bright polishing. Dipping means to remove non-metallic unclean things like oil from the chains. The metal becomes clear but has no surface polishing. The advantage of Sprenger polishing is that the surface becomes much smoother and has this special bright shine. After tumbling, the chains are nickel or chrome plated. Nickel and chrome baths are monitored permanently by a laboratory. Sprenger examines the grip of the nickel layer through "bending" tests before the chains are chromium plated. This collar consists only of welded parts, that will serve your dog for a long time. All parts are chromium plated, so it increases in its tensile strength.
