How to Fit a Prong Collar Properly

Normally, pet proprietors should put off the prong collar after daily training sessions. Like choke collars, it should not put on the collar all the time on your dog’s neck. There is a common problem of new trainers that, they don’t remove enough links from the collar to get the comfortable fit. As a result, the collar hangs down on the dog’s neck and does not work properly. So, it is important to fit the pinch collar in the proper way before using.

The proper fit means when the collar sits exactly under the jawline and adjust snugly around the neck. It is the completely wrong way when the collar is too loose and drops down during walking. The correct position refers to sit the collar exactly behind the ears and up under the jawline.

Some pet proprietors or trainers try to put the collar on their dog by slipping it over their head and moving it down on the neck. Actually, it’s the completely wrong procedure because pinch collars are made to be put on and put off by unhooking links and unsnapping the collar from around the neck. The correct way to unhook a collar is to pinch one of the links and pull it apart.

In most cases, the handler connects the collar behind the dog’s ears and it is the easiest place to access links. But when the rings connect the leash under the dog’s chin indicate the wrong place and that time you should rotate the collar to set the rings in the proper position on the dog’s neck.
