If dog training is not a pleasure for you but a kind of hard work, try to replace your dog's gear with the Herm Sprenger choke chain collar.
This classical chain collar meets the international standards in terms of quality and safety. It consists of a round chain with short links (3 mm wire gauge ) and 2 O-rings.
When dog behaves badly or does something inappropriate you should pull the lead and tighten the collar. It will cause light suffocation and show your pooch that his or her actions are unwelcome. Then loosen the leash, so the dog feel comfortable.
The chain itself is made up of short links which sometimes tangle pet's fur. So buy this particular collar only for short-haired canines.
This chain collar is 22 inches/55 cm long and fits dogs with neck size of 19-20 inches/48-50 cm.
How to measure your dog for the chain collar:
Measure 1) the largest part of your dog's head, and 2) the middle of his/her neck.
Determine the size of the collar you need using your dog's head measurements if your dog's head is larger than his/her neck.
Determine the size of the collar you need using your dog's neck measurements if his/her neck is larger than the head.
Now add 2" to to the above measurements (head or neck) for larger dogs and 1" to 1.5" for smaller dogs. This is the size collar you will need.
The collar is made of high quality corrosion and seawater resistant stainless steel. Because of the presence of nickel and chromium in the alloy the item will save these properties even if its surface will be accidentally scratched or damaged. So, this collar is suitable for all your dog's favourite activities.
NB!
As stainless steel contains nickel, this choke chain will not fit for nickel-reactive canines. If your pooch reacts to nickel, buy a hypoallergenic curogan chain collar.
