Product Description

Leerburg is now offering Keeper Collars in limited edition patterns. These collars are exclusive to Leerburg and will only be sold while supplies last. These collars include a 240 Tensile Strength Buckle and a sleek and functional design. Snag yours now before they disappear!

RIBBON KEEPER COLLARS

Limited edition collars that have ribbon design may show wear over time. If this happens the ribbon can be removed and the webbing beneath will show a plain color. The collar is still useful when this happens.

SIZING

For the optimum fit always choose within the correct sizing of the size chart. Our Keeper Collar with the Leather Strap may be a better option for those looking to get a greater size range out of their collar, as the strap has three adjustable holes built in. Here's Willy, the Chocolate Lab, being measured. Measure just under the jaw and behind the ears. The measurement should be snug, not tight. When the collar is built, the necessary slack is added into the collar, so there's no worry about it being too small.

As you can see, Willy measures 15.5 inches. If your dog measures 15.5" and is full grown, a 14" collar would work when loosened (orange 14"), or a 15” collar allows for more room if we wish to tighten it (black 15 inch, shown loosened). The green 16” collar would be too big for Willy (green 16 inch). If your dog has a thicker coat or is expected to grow, we suggest opting for the larger size (black 15 inch).

DESCRIPTION

Every once in a while, we see a new dog training product that blows us away. Leerburg is proud to introduce the Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar. This is one of those products where design, quality, and functionality have all been taken into account. Not recommended for tying out.

The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong.

These collars are designed to easily be put on and taken off. Gone are the days of struggling to pinch the prongs together. For those people who do not have a ton of dexterity in their fingers, this is going to be a huge benefit.

Because you are no longer pinching the prongs to put the collar on and take off, you do not have to worry about them eventually wearing out and becoming loose. This also eliminates the worry of your prong coming apart when you need it most. With that, you no longer need to use a backup collar. Leerburg has always recommended using a backup collar with a prong. Simply because if and when the prong fails it will fail when you need it most and maintaining control over your dog in those instances is crucial. With the Keeper Collar, there is no way for the prongs to come apart. Even if they did, the leather flat strap doubles as your back up collar.

Keeper Collars also makes achieving the perfect fit much easier. Prong collars are meant to ride high on the dog’s neck just below the base of the skull. Sizing a standard prong requires adding and removing links, which really limits the amount of adjustability.

The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar, on the other hand, are completely adjustable. We offer a variety of sizes that allows you to select the size that closest fits your dog. You can then adjust the length of the pull tab to get a perfect fit on any dog. This also allows you to easily put the collar on and off with the use of the plastic buckle or leather tab and clasp.

Additional Considerations

Prong collars are an extremely functional training tool, especial when it comes to loose leash walking. Unfortunately, they look menacing and people tend to jump to conclusions about them. Let me preface that with the pinching from a prong causes no damage to your dog’s neck, whereas allowing a dog to pull into a flat collar can put so much pressure on your dog’s trachea, resulting in permanent damage.

However, because of the appearance and an onslaught of uneducated bad publicity about prongs, people who use them correctly are often verbally accosted when taking their dogs for a walk. So if you fall into that category and are tired of the dirty looks from people when safely walking your dog down the street, we recommend taking a look at the Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar.

Prong collars do not apply pressure to the dogs trachea, making them a safe alternative to a slip collar, and much safer than allowing your dog to pull into a flat collar which can cause permanent damage to the dogs wind pipe. Instead a prong collar tightens, creating a pinching sensation that is instantly released once the dog “yields to the leash” or stops pulling.

Leerburg recommends using a backup collar any time you are using a prong collar on your dog. For more information on back up collars and why we recommend them check out some of our free streaming videos on the proper use of a prong collar as well as the prong collar leash. We recommend Leerburg’s Dominant Dog Collar.

It is recommended to NOT use these collars with a retractable (flexi) lead.

Amazing prong. My apartment manager doesn't give me grief about my service dog being on a prong anymore. How dare I put a prong on a puppy... Looks snazzy on him too. Thanks Leerburg great product.

I have a 5 and half month old lab puppy who is all athlete and ambition. He knows his marker system and basic commands, and even though we have done marker work for loose lead walking, it still has been a challenge for him. The other day, we were walking by the lake, and he decided he was going for a swim and he practically dragged me into the lake. While I had been thinking about prong collars for a while, that little incident convinced me. It’s so easy to forget how strong they quickly become.
The Keeper Collar was exactly what I was looking for; first is not obvious to others that it is a prong collar (no dirty looks), and second, I didn’t have to resort to a slip collar (I still have guilt feelings over the use of choke collars that I used to train dogs back in the 80’s).
The first session using the Keeper Collar was like walking with a new dog. There was no stopping and starting and no pulling. It was the most relaxed and distraction free walk we have had. With the Keeper Collar his focus was better and when combined with his marker training, he showed a definite improvement in his ability to ignore distractions such as joggers and bikers.
I am sold on prong collars. They are a fantastic training tool and the Keeper Collars are well worth their price!

We love this collar!!
Have had it for over a year and it's everything advertised.
I had trouble with regular prong because of arthritis,and this totally took care of the problem.
So easy to put on and off.
My trainer was also impressed with the strength and function.
