How to Use

Usage Instructions

• Select the Correct Gauge: Choose the link size that matches your dog's existing prong collar gauge for a compatible, secure fit.
• Add Links for Length: To increase collar size, slide the link toward the prong end, squeeze prongs together, and connect to the existing collar link.
• Remove Links to Shorten: Squeeze the prong tips of the link to be removed together, slide it free, and disconnect from the collar chain.
• Position Collar Correctly: Place the collar high on the dog's neck, right behind the ears, with rings positioned on the right side of the neck for leash attachment.
• Ensure Proper Fit: There should be a two-finger gap between the dog's neck and the collar; not too loose and not too tight to ensure safe function.

Additional Information

Precautions

• For Adult Dogs Only: Prong collar use is not recommended for dogs under 6–8 months of age, depending on the breed.
• Consult a Professional Trainer: Always seek guidance from an experienced or certified dog trainer before using prong collar links on your dog.
• Never Place Over the Head: Do not put the collar on by sliding it over the dog's head while fastened, as prongs may cause eye injuries.

Storage Instructions

• Keep in a Dry Place: Store the links in a cool location away from moisture to preserve the stainless steel finish and prevent premature corrosion.
• Clean After Use: Wipe the links with a moist cloth after each use to remove dirt, saliva, or debris and maintain the collar's condition.
• Store Separately from Collar: When not in use, keep spare links in a secure container or bag to prevent loss of individual pieces.

Q5: What is the correct collar position when using these links on a dog?
