If you plan on doing Schutzhund, you need a fur saver. Those are the only collars my dogs use nowadays.

Measure the width of your dog's neck and add 2 to 3 inches to determine an appropriate collar length. No, the fur saver is not used in place of a prong collar. As already mentioned, a fur saver can't/won't correct the dog. However it is used when trialing on the Schutzhund field. I also use it when tracking my dog and when walking them.

I like my fur savers, they are easy to slip on and off. ANY collar can be dangerous that's why they don't wear collars in the house only when we go out.

Either that or a harness. I've always used and preferd a harness, specially for young pups starting out.

I like the 3mm myself.
