Aversive Collar Buyer’s Guide
With proper obedience training, aversive collars such as prong or pinch collars can be an effective way to limit discouraging behavior. If used correctly, the pinch collar should only be uncomfortable for your dog, and not painful. Choosing a high-quality collar is important so you do not unintentionally injure your dog with a faulty or poorly-made product. Remember that pinch collars should not be used on small or fragile-necked breeds, but rather large or “bull-necked” breeds. When in doubt, consult a dog obedience trainer for guidance and instruction on proper use.
Our buying guide reviews the best aversion collars on the market so you can choose the right one. The following features are included on most collars and will help you to choose which features you need on a collar for your dog.
Materials
The majority of pinch and prong collars are stainless steel, but some plastic polymer versions are also available. The collar’s clip can be made from the same metal links or alternatively, a plastic clip with or without a nylon connection. Consider the size and strength of your dog and choose the option that will be most durable during training.
Safety Features
Consider how the collar connects to the leash. Many collars feature a quick-release clip, in case the collar gets twisted and needs to be removed quickly. Some also have a swivel D-ring connection link that ensure the leash can move freely, regardless of the dog turning or lunging in different directions. The size of the prong links should be appropriate for the size of your dog.Plastic prong covers are often available to prevent injury. Finally, be sure to look at the placement of the prongs on the collar. Ensurethe prongs do not pinch the trachea, but rather the loose skin around the sides of the neck.
