Herm Sprenger | One of the leading manufacturers of metal products for equestrian, dog sport, and boat fittings for over 140 years. Known for high quality innovation, Sprenger is located in Iserlohn, Germany.
SIZE NOTE | Herm Sprenger collars are made in metric measurements, then converted to rounded-up inches for the U.S. market.
SIZING | Measure dog’s neck and add 2 inches. This is the initial collar size from which you adjust the collar by removing/adding links to achieve a comfortable, snug training fit. Manufacturer collar prong size recommendations for dog weight: 2.25 mm for up to 20 kg/44 pounds; 3 mm and 3.2 mm for up to 40 kg/88 pounds; 3.9 and 4 mm for up to 70 kg/154 pounds.
TRAINING COLLARS | Training collars are intended for supervised training sessions. Users should be informed and understand how to use training devices. Do not leave a dog unsupervised or alone in a training collar. Training collars are not intended for full time wear. Do not use retractable leash devices or elastic tension leads with a training collar. Recommended minimum dog age for training collar is 6 months.
KEEP YOUR COLLAR BALANCED | When adding/removing prong links, remember to keep the same number of prong links affixed on each side of the center plate. If the collar fitting requires an odd number of prong links, make sure one side of the center plate has only one more prong link than the other side. Your goal is to ensure the center plate stays at the front of the dog's neck above the trachea.
HOW TO CHOOSE PRONG LINKS | Prong Links can be purchased separately. When ordering, ensure you are ordering the correct millimeter sized prong link in the same metal composition as your collar. This will maintain a consistent tensile strength through out the collar, ensuring proper training communication and collar longevity.
CLEANING | Before use, wash metal collars in warm, mild soapy water to minimize fur discoloration.
