Dog Training Pinch Collar Chrome Plated - 1/8 inch (3.25 mm)

Dog Pinch Collar with smooth surface

Pinch Collar (also called Prong Collar) is usually made of metal and has prongs evenly arranged around the collar.  
It should be worn high on the dog's neck, right under dog's chin and behind his ears. This collar will be perfect for those dogs that have problems with behavior, but you must remember that it should be used only in training purposes.

Pinch Collars can be of different sizes, but they depend not only on the collar length that can vary from 23 inch (58 cm) to 25 inch (65 cm), but also from the diameter of the prongs. Pinch collars with thinner prongs are recommended for small dog breeds and growing dogs.

The size of this particular Pinch Dog Collar is 23 inch (58 cm) with prong's diameter - 1/8 inch (3.25 mm), and consists of 10 links. If your dog's neck circumference is more than 22 inch (56 cm), you can order an additional link, that will add 1 2/5 inch (3.5 cm) to the total collar length. So that means that if your dog's neck circumference is 25 inch (64 cm) you'll need to order 2 additional links.

The weight of this Dog Pinch Collar is about 8.2 oz (230 g).

This collar was made by means of a new method called Chrome Plating. It is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. Products that are processed with the help of this method usually look more attractive than ordinary stainless steel. The chromed layer will provide corrosion resistance for your collar, as well as easy cleaning procedures. All dog's owners with ordinary collars will envy you for sure. These collars will serve you and your dog for years.

How do these chains look so shiny and have such sturdy surface?

Other manufacturers only dip the chains before galvanizing, Sprenger uses a different method 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 plated with nickel or chrome. Nickel and chrome baths are monitored constantly by a laboratory. Herm Sprenger examines the grip of the nickel layer through "bending" tests before the chains are chromium plated. This Fur Saver collar consists of welded parts only, that will serve your dog for a long period of time. All parts are chromium plated, so it increases its tensile strength.

Main features of this Herm Sprenger Pinch Dog Collar are:

• it is good for long and short-haired breeds
• perfectly fits to any areas of dog training, as well as in daily walking
• due to a new technique of Chrome Plating looks even better than usual stainless steel collars
