Having on the Pinch Collar with 'Fred' it is leaving a mark on his Neck more so to the inside of the Neck, The Collar is fitted as close behind the ears as possible
I have put in another Link and tried this but the collar slips down, Any ideas how to stop this making it looks as of the longer hair is flattened or scuffed
Or is it a common thing that happens when a Dog is wearing a Pinch Collar
Steve,
I'm not real clear about what area of the neck you're talking about. Is it the areas where the chain has to work through the the links or farther under the chin where the pinchers have to work? Isn't your dog fairly young? ie. not fully grown? Maybe you need a smaller size for the interm between now and for when the dog is more fully grown. I'm thinking if too many links are taken out, there would be too much chain running around the dogs neck. You'd be losing alot of control and there by having to over use it.
Also you do take if off after each exercise session is over? Of that I'm sure, I just had to ask.
It's curious, I've used the pinch collars on my last three dogs, two of them long hairs, and never ran into the problems you've described. Odd.
If my dog isn't learning, I'm doing something wrong.

The Collar is up at the top of the neck as far as it goes comfortably.
It leaves a dark mark as if the outer layer of hair is worn or scuffed, no skin showing of course, and we certainly are not having to correct him that hard, as to do this to him
It certainly is not too loose, as i said i thought it may be too tight so i added a link, but this was not a good idea, it dropped down the neck lower and the correction was not instant
No, after each training session or walk it is taken off the Dog, We do not even use it for Protection, Only for walking and obedinance.
He does not have a Collar on when in his Pen at all,

Steve,
OK maybe i am just slow but is there any way you can take a photo of what his neck normally looks like and then after you put the prong collar on? I am not sure what you mean by dark marks.

Are the "dark marks" from the metal? Years ago before we knew that choke collars were bad for dogs, we used one on our dog Buster who had white fur. The metal in the chain left a dark mark on his fur.

Sandy, i was wondering the same thing, is the top coat wearing, if so why, The collar is not used in a rough way to pull such at his coat, and it is on no longer than 1hour.30 a day when he is training or walking,. Even at the Training Club it is taken off after his obedinance is finished and at the most then 20 minutes, they never over do it in any one session
When he goes onto the Protection after the obedinance is over he wears another type of collar for that
it is not easy to see in a photo plus i cannot seem to post them to here from my picture folder. it is bewildering and it does not look good at all.
So Steve,
You're saying the guard hairs are getting cut away where the chain doubles through the collar to reconnect at the center ring? Is it cutting the hair just behind the ear or farther down underneath the ear or more towards under the jaw?
Your right, it does sound like somethings' amiss.
