Herm Sprenger
Herm Sprenger is one of the most trusted names in obedience training equipment, offering top-quality products for both professional dog trainers and devoted dog owners.
At Von Wolf, we stock a wide selection of Herm Sprenger collars — from close-link chains and fur saver/check chains to robust pinch/prong collars — in a variety of sizes to suit your dog. We also carry Ultra Plus training collars and Starmark collars.
These collars are training aids to be used alongside your dog’s regular collar or harness — not as a replacement for everyday walking equipment. Please seek advice from a qualified dog trainer before using a prong collar.
Important Safety Guidelines
- Supervision only: Ultra Plus collars must only be worn while your dog is on-leash and supervised. Do not leave the collar on when not in use or when your dog is tied out.
- Hands off prongs: Never grab the prongs with your hands.
- Correct fit matters: Prongs should rest gently on your dog’s neck for even pressure. Adjust by adding or removing links as needed.
- Proper placement: Always unfasten one link to put the collar on, then refasten around your dog’s neck — never slide it over the head. Position so the O-ring/swivel is at the top.
- Regular checks: Frequently check link tension and fit to ensure correct function. Retighten links if necessary.
- Extra safety: We strongly recommend using a safety line with all training collars.
Used correctly, these collars can be an effective tool for improving communication and obedience, while keeping your dog safe and comfortable.
