Herm Springer German made steel. Very strong. Excellent for teaching heel, sit, stay, whoa, etc. Proper fit is achieved by adding or removing links. Just snap them in or out.
We prefer the steel "pinch" type dog training collars to choke chains as we have found their use to result in easier and faster training for both the dog and the trainer. We suggest that teaching "heel" is a good place to start with the pinch collar.
First adjust the collar by removing links or adding lengths to get a "good" fit - a fit where the dog will be comfortable when he is in the proper position but will become uncomfortable when he gets out of position. If the dog is wearing a regular collar, place the pinch collar in front of the regular collar and check frequently to be sure the pinch collar is not hanging up on the regular collar. We suggest keeping the pinch collar low on the dog's neck and walking at a slow but steady pace the first few sessions using a large (25' - 30') circular, figure 8, or box pattern. After several sessions, you should be able to progress to a varied pace, and quicker and sharper turns and stops. Placing the pinch collar higher on the dog's neck usually causes more discomfort and a better response in dogs that have not responded after several sessions. Also, a collar with smaller diameter prongs will usually elicit a better response for dogs that have been slow in responding.
We have found the pinch collar to be especially useful in teaching "heel", "sit", "whoa", "stay", and "here". Our own view is that choke chains and pinch collars should not be used on pups under six months of age. These collars should only be during training sessions and should NEVER be left on unattended dogs.

If this is your first visit to Gun Dog Supply, welcome to our online Yahoo! Store.
-- Way back in 1997, we got the idea to sell on the WWW after shopping on eBay and
Amazon and buying through other online catalogs.
It's so much easier to offer more information and content with an online
catalogue, rather than a 72-page mail order brochure. Customers enjoy
reading our info and articles where we share our opinions on our top-rated
products.
From time to time we feature our top-selling products with promotional
pricing or free shipping. Most of the time, most regular products are sold
below manufacturers' suggested retail prices (MSRP). We sometimes offer
wholesale pricing to qualified dealers on certain items and some offers are
consumer only, no-dealer purchasing. Some people are more interested in
choosing the cheapest, clearance-priced items such as overstock through an
outlet dealer. Make sure your purchases are through an AUTHORIZED Internet
dealer, especially for electronic canine products for warranty support
issues.
Buyers save when you shop online. Why surf the Web for discount codes,
online promo codes, and coupons when you know we have every day low prices?
Your satisfaction with your purchases is important to us. We use the Yahoo! Store
Rating system and our consumer reports are very good. We offer
product recommendations and stand behind our recommended & reviewed products
with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Comparing prices is important, but
when you find the lowest, discounted item, you may find other things, too.
Savings may vary. Discounts and coupon prices subject to change without
notice.
