- Is the 2.25 mm size right for my dog?
- The 2.25 mm gauge suits medium dogs and milder correction. Large, strong dogs that lunge hard usually do better with the 3.2 mm version.
- How do I size it?
- Measure snugly around the dog's neck and add about an inch. The 12-inch neck size fits dogs in that range, and extra links can be added if needed.
- Is it safe to leave on the dog?
- No. Prong collars are for training sessions on a leash and should come off afterward, especially when the dog is alone or playing with other dogs.
- Does it rust?
- The stainless steel resists rust with normal use. Rinse and dry it after wet or muddy walks to keep the finish and links clean.
- Is it worth the price over a cheap prong collar?
- If you train regularly, the smoother tips and durable links justify the cost for many owners. For occasional use, a budget collar may be enough.
- Can I add or remove links?
- Yes. The links open so you can adjust the circumference, which is how most owners fine-tune the fit.
