Leerburg Dominant dog Collar

[marksteven]

Does any one have or used a Leerburg Dominant dog collar. thinking about getting one and using it in conjunction with a Prong collar for backup

[matildacroley]

i have both, measuring is very important

To use in case your prong comes apart on you?

It's ok, but I find that a good quality (Herm Springer) collar, fitted properly, pretty reliable on it's own.

Thats what i was going to purchase it for. never had a prong collar come apart but just in case. i usually walk in high traffic area after the H.S. lets out for the day.

i never even had to use mine, now i dont even have to use the prong so they are both just sitting in the cabinet lol.

The Leerburg Dominant Dog collar is essentially a nylon choke collar. Most pet stores carry them, made from thin nylon cord, for about $4, or you can get the thicker Mountain Choke for around $7. The difference is that those are not snap-around collars, but are pulled over the head like you would a choke chain.

I have never used a backup collar with my prong, but I have had my prong come apart once. My fault, it wasn't on right.

Is this a type of collar that's easy to make? It seems pretty easy- dead ring, floater ring, bolt snap, and the nylon cord. Wouldn't mind trying to make one myself.

I think your right. i just want it for added secuirity if the prong comes loose which never has. wonder if i can just slip on a choke collar i have?

I have them for both our dogs - to use by themselves - and really like them. I can attest to the quality of the Leerburg one. It is VERY strong. Our Otto would break chains and leather when we first got him, but was unable to break this one (and now is trained, so we no longer have such problems!).

The important part of it is the fit - if fitted properly, achieved because of the snap-around, it is very snug and stays at the top of the neck quite well. This collar is aka "Volhard collar" or "snap-around collar" and was used in Luther's Volhard-based OB classes - on the dead ring.

I would think it a great backup for the prong - it's small/thin and holding its position on the neck would keep it from interfering with the prong too much if at all.
