Does anyone have any experience with this variation of the prong collar? I just got my reenlistment bonus (Thank you Uncle Sam! :grin, and so of course, before I do the responsible thing and put it into savings, I'm going to burn some of it up getting training equipment for the pup.
The buckle prong collar looks like a pretty nifty little set-up, as far as ease of taking it on and off the dog. My question is, does it still work as effectively as a regular prong collar, since the chain and live ring are replaced by the nylon flat-collar portion?

Betty Waldron is using one in our club, and she's noted that they don't give quite as strong a correction as a regular prong collar.
They are however *much* easier to get on the dog for those that don't have strong fingers....
I think I'll have to give it a shot.
My larger concern was for my husband, who is blind in one eye, and therefore has crappy depth perception. He tends to struggle with lining up the prongs to put the collar back together.
The attachment on the quick-release collar looked rather small too, so the buckle closure seemed like an awesome alternative.
If the strength of the correction is decreased by say, 25%, I can accept that, in return for my husband being able to put the collar on the dog.
Alyssa,
I bought the quick release stanless for my s.o. a couple of three months back (she always complained about the strenght it took to get the original model on and off) While I still use the older squeeze and slip together collar, once in awhile I'll use the newer one. Between the two I still like the older one but the newer quick release really work just as well, and that french glasp isn't as fragile as it looks.
Sorry I don't know anything about the buckle style.

Here's a thought...
WHen I was at Leerburg, I had the chance to look at them.
IF the prong is the same size as the one that you have, there isn't really any reason you can't merge the two. Take out as many links as necessary, then pull the chain part and the last link off the regular prong. Merge the two, and you have the best of both worlds!

Ooooh. Good point! You are just fantabulous Cameron.
LOL
Wanted to add, as long as there were still the appropriate number of prong links left it shouldn't be a problem...
But the buckle is pretty low profile.
And the clasp is one that I have used before on REALLY strong pullers when I HAD to make sure the collar could NOT be broken (one dog I had was able to eat is way free of crates, and every time he demolished one, I had to secure him in the outdoor kennel I had with a tie out as well, since he was able to scale the fence easily and putting a roof on was not an option. Planet dog makes a pretty strong collar, but the hemp dyed collars sometime leave marks on a light colored dog until the extra dye is gone. I used to soak the collars in hot water for a little while to rid it of excess dye.
