It's fairly new. I like it a lot.
No, your not a wimp for buying it either....
Coming apart IS the reason that I do not like the quick release stuff. I am sure it is not really a quick release thing though, more of an ease of putting the collar on and taking it off.
I have a heck of a time with the large prong collar that Max uses. Ugh, those ones are hard to squeeze together.

Good to know about the quick release, I heard they had problems coming apart.
I agree Carol the large prongs are very hard on the fingers and hard sometimes to get on.

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.
Keith, I have the HS quick-release also, and I've never had an issue with it coming off. I've used it on a daily basis with my 8 month old pup for walking purposes for the last 2 months.
For Keith or anyone else who's had this problem, is it the quick-release clamp that fails, or does a link come 'unlinked' when a correction is given?
That buckle collar looks great for walking. It's going on the wish list!
with the buckle prong-how do you give a correction?
There is no martingail style tightening-just prongs. No gathering of the skin or anything.
Is it really just meant for walks?
I am trying to figure out how i would get an effective pop with that-it would just be a spiky flat collar......
but i do like it-i have 2 dogs that i can't get to sit still coming out of crated to put the prongs on-they are dancing and spinning around(no matter what i do) and trying to put a prong together on a large spinning dog is akin to one of those NASA exercises where you have you plug in the wires on a spinny thing.
For Keith or anyone else who's had this problem, is it the quick-release clamp that fails, or does a link come 'unlinked' when a correction is given?
Lynne, now that I think about it it was one of each. On a really light correction the release clamp slipped off. on a little harder correction another time the links actually popped apart, just like Ed shows on his webcast when he is demonstrating why a backup collar is needed.

Mallory,
I would say, and others may have a different opinion, that this collar is for dogs who KNOW what the prong collar is.
It will not give a correction as a regular prong would, no, but you can get the dogs attention if needed.
Jesea knows that prong=behave and I have not had to correct her for a LONG time with it. The buckle collar works wonderful for her since even if I inadvertently jerk the collar, it is not going to be like a major correction. Kind of like with the dead ring on a prong.
Roni and I were talking about this collar and she explains it better than I.
I also like the buckle collar for the reason that, while getting a dog used to a collar, this one is easy to take on and off while training the dog to sit quiet while the collar is added or removed, easy to snap on and off. Once the dog is used to having the collar added or removed, then it is easier to add or remove a regular prong.

I've never had the quick-release prong come apart (thank goodness!). The clasp is extremely strong but you have to make sure you have it clasped well, into the hole in the link and not just resting on the metal, which would of course happen only by accident. I have been pinched by the clasp and I can tell you it's dang strong.
BUT I would NEVER just rely on the prong collar and always have the dominant dog collar fastened to the clasp on the leash as well.
