Product Description

If you are unsure whether the micro prong is right for your particular dog, please ask Cindy.

Micro Prong collars were designed originally to fit small dogs, because the larger prongs on standard size collars were too far apart, causing both fit and effectiveness issues. A Micro collar is made up of miniature prongs with a much shorter distance between them than typical prong collars. The end result is a collar that is proportionally correct on a diminutive dog. A Micro stays up under the jaw and on the safe part of the neck where it should be, without slipping down. And it provides gentle, steady pressure when pulled against, eliminating the uneven, pointy feel of too few prongs on a small neck.

Original

For small dogs 6 lbs to 20 lbs

This collar is the sturdiest Micro Prong Collar made from stainless steel. This collar also features a strong split ring leash attachment. Add-on links may be purchased for dogs whose neck size exceeds 9".

Important

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.

Advantages

• A snap for easy release
• Proportionally correct on a diminutive dog or large breed puppy. (Larger prongs on standard size collars are too far apart, causing both fit and effectiveness issues.)
• Lightweight design means less bulk on the dog. (Micro prongs are just 1.75mm, compared to the standard 2.25mm of 'small' prong collars.)
• Stays up under the jaw and on the safe part of the neck where it should be, without slipping down.
• Provides gentle, steady pressure when pulled against, eliminating the uneven, pointy feel of too few prongs on a small neck.
• Double O rings are sturdy, and allow handler to use one or both rings clipped together to the leash.

Additional Considerations

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.
