Looking to get a buckle prong collar as the regular is just too difficult for me to put on and take off. Was just looking at the one Leerburg has wondering how it tightens up. It looks like it is a staight piece of nylon with a buckle. I have also found one that had a martingale style nylon part and that seems more like it would pinch but con't figure how it would come apart.
I do understand these collars are more prone to come apart and do realize that. I'm just using it for simple obedience and my dog doesn't require much correction anymore.
Does anyone have experience with the buckle type prong? I don't want the kind with a snap.
No experience with the buckle type but once I got a standard Herm Springer** pinch collar with the flat plate, all of my "connection" problems went away. I think it is easier to put on than the one with the snap.
**instead of the cheap prong collars I had in the past.

I think she's talking about this:
So there's a flat plate on the edge of the prongs before the chain part. It'd be very easy to use that part to open/close the collar instead of pinching one prong through another.
I really like mine, and your right, it does not tighten to give a correction per say, but if your dog knows what the prong collar is like mine does, it works wonderful.
I do not like the quick release collars....to risky of coming apart and I do not like that even with a DD collar as a backup

I love my Herm Springer! I had a Petsmart brand prong collar before that and I am never going back. The Petsmart prong loosened up to the point that it actually just unhooked and fell apart. Luckily I was just walking my dog casually, but had it be during training or when another dog was around it would have been bad.
I attach my prong to a choke chain if I know I will need that "extra" support, depending on where we are. I haven't bought a dominant dog collar yet.

I hear ya Emily, I have three Herm Sprengers and they are wonderful, quality collars.
For a dog that really does not need correction but rather just the "feel" of the prong, the buckle collar is great.
You can get their attention with it as well, if needed.

Carol, is that buckle prong a new product on Leerburg or did I just miss it six months ago when I was shopping for a prong?
I don't think I like this in the description though. Kind of limits the target audience.
"This is great for those suffering from arthritis who still want the advantage of using a prong collar with their dogs."
Makes me feel like a wimp for buying it, being 34 and no arthritis.
I have the Herm Springer with the pinch lock and it has come off Lucy twice on very low level corrections. The first time no backup collar, luckily she is collar crazy and if I jingle it she goes mad for me to put it back on. The 2nd time I had learned my lesson and had a coupler attached to her flat collar.
