Prong Collar Links for Dog Training and Safety

Prong collar links are a crucial component in dog training and safety. They are designed to be adjustable, allowing for a customized fit for your dog.

A well-fitted prong collar can help prevent skin irritation and discomfort for your dog. This is especially important for dogs with sensitive skin.

Prong collar links come in different sizes and materials, which is why it's essential to choose the right ones for your dog. A good starting point is to select a link size that is 1/4 inch larger than your dog's neck size.

Using the correct prong collar links can help you achieve better results in dog training, as they provide a more precise and controlled correction.

Suggestion: Prong Collar Size

Herm Sprenger offers a range of links for their prong collars, including the 3mm Short Link.

The 3mm Short Link is designed for more effective and precise corrections, making it suitable for harder working dogs or smaller necked dogs who fit between link sizes on the standard 3mm prong.

Customize the size of the 3mm Short Link by adding or removing links, and it's available in a 24" length.

Additional links are available for the 3mm Short Link.

The Herm Sprenger 3mm Short Link is made in Germany with precise German engineering, reliability, and quality.

The center plate of the collar guarantees an equal distribution of pressure along the collar.

The Herm Sprenger collars have rounded link ends, which are a safer option compared to flat link ends that can cut into your dog's skin.

Here's a comparison of the Herm Sprenger links:

Ring size can vary, even for a specific collar model like the 3.0mm Herm Sprenger prong collar.

Some websites may list a 3.0mm collar as 16" or 18", but the actual ring size can differ. The larger ring version has links that make the collar operation less smooth.

It's not always easy to tell the difference between the larger and smaller ring versions, not even in pictures. I've purchased collars with the description "Herm Sprenger Ultra-Plus 3.0mm Dog Prong Training Collar" and found them to have the correct ring size.

Some suppliers may be more reliable than others when it comes to ring size accuracy. I used to get prong collars from Chewy and gotpetsupplies.com, but they've been out of stock since the pandemic started.

To avoid getting the wrong collar, it's best to order from suppliers you've used before. I've had success with Pets Warehouse, which I believe has the correct ring size for the 3.0mm Herm Sprenger prong collar.
