What size prong collar should I order or do you think I should use one?

Full Question:

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I did my first AI using your AI kit and DVD and it was successful!

We took our Mastiff yesterday for x-rays confirmed it.

Thanks so much for your website and useful information.

My English Mastiffs are 190 lbs and 215 lbs. They are not aggressive at all, but when I take them anywhere they pull me around a lot. I am using a choke collar now.

I was thinking of using one of your prong collars. Their neck size is 25 inches and 25 1/2 inches. What size prong collar should I order or do you think I should use one?

Should I also use the dominant collar with it? What size?

Thanks,
Mary

Cindy's Answer:

Thanks for the kind words, and congratulations on the upcoming litter.

I would most definitely recommend prong collars for dogs of this size. I would use a large or extra large collar. Please read this article about how to properly fit a prong collar. It fits up high on the neck.

We do recommend the dominant dog collar as a safely back up with prongs, here is the chart to select the size based on your dogs measurements.

If you have any questions about the sizing I would suggest you call our office during regular business hours and one of the girls will be glad to help you out.

I hope this helps.
