Customers say
Customers find the training collar effective, with one noting it works particularly well with small breeds like Toy Aussies. The collar is sturdy, easy to use, and reasonably priced, and customers appreciate that it prevents pulling during walks and doesn’t cause pain. However, several customers mention that the teeth are too large for small dogs.

Even helps with small Yorkies!
This was an excellent tool to train my little guy for his CGC certification! He has trachea collapse so we had to be careful with how we handled neck pressure, and before we did the trick of looping a slip lead around his nose to prevent the pressure from coming at his throat. Well, he hated it, and we had pretty poor results with that. My trainer recommended one of those or a mini prong collar to help him keep from pulling on a leash and choking himself, and it would leave his face alone. This was PERFECT and worked wonders!! My little dude did so well after we switched and he passed his test thanks to this thing!

Good collar for puppies, until ready for regular prong collar
These are for mild-mannered dogs. Works great for puppies or dogs that are too sensitive for a regular prong collar.Otherwise, for most dogs, a regular 2.25 Herm Sprenger collar is more effective.I use my own back-up collars I get from Pawmark, as the ones that come with this collar are too small. I use this âsmallâ size on all size dogs.Takes a little practice to add & subtract links, but once you got it itâs easy.This collar is inexpensive and may not last forever, but easy to replace.Some dogs with very thin hair on neck, or thin skin, may get some minor skin irritation from the plastic points. Mine didnât have that issue. The collar should be fitted SNUG, up high on the neck, to where you can only fit a few fingers under it. If itâs too loose it wonât work right.

Great correction collar
Our trainer recommended this collar for our smaller dogs. We are training our new adult corgi how to heel and walk on a loose leash. We usually use the sprenger prong collar for our larger dogs but wanted to try something a little different for our small corgi. This works really well:) itâs easy to adjust if you are familiar with a prong collar style already. If youâre not familiar itâs pretty easy to learn with repetition.

Answer to ALL our training issues
I have struggled for over a year trying to get my 17 lb cockapoo (15 months) not to lunge on walks when we pass rabbits, birds, cars and other dogs. Barking accompanied the lunging. In less than 2 days, it has all stopped using this collar. I had tried every no pull harness, martingale collars, trainers. For me, this has been no less than a miracle! I was at a point that walking the dog was the low point of my day. Now we are the best behaved dog in the neighborhood. I have also used it in the house to control begging for food when we have dinner and jumping on people when they enter the house. Thank you Starmark!

Great replacement for Sullivan collar
I bought this for my Airedale puppy after I “lost” the D Sullivan Command Collar I had bought for my last Airedale (I’ll probably find the original tomorrow!). This seems to be a good replacement and comes with a safety collar in the event that the plastic links somehow come undone. I actually like the link points on this one better than the original C/C as they’re not quite as pointy. The length of the collar is 18″ with all included links and each is 1.25″ in length. I removed two links and the collar fits my little boy perfectly. As with the original, these work to emulate the momma dog’s “snake bite” as a correction to the little ones. Net-net: Great replacement for the original C/C and appears to be a better quality than the blue C/C knock-offs I’ve read about on Amazon.

Breaks without the cloth choker on with it
This was the better of training collars for my medium sized female lab but she got used the pulling again after a week and she ended up breaking after a few months when she pulled real hard to try and play with another dogâ¦hints why they give the other cloth choker with it⦠letâs put it this way ð¤ I would use this again if I had one but not spending money on a 3rd oneð¤·ð¼ââï¸. Good alternative to a metal choker chain ð but my dog is even breaking chain chokers without spikes at a year old now and ordered the one with metal spikes for her not to pull so hard unfortunately⦠if they honored a break we replace policy I would still prefer this company of all others but Iâm out the money from 3 of these collars in a year lol. 13 dogs in my life and this was hardest to train but glad I had these collars over the shock collars I have wasted money on for sure!! I would rate this collar 5 out of 10 only because they donât replace when broken

Works
It provides good control over my dog on her lead; she doesnât pull and it doesnât seem to cause her any significant discomfort. I much prefer it over the classic metal chain control collar.

Gentle corrections for a strong lab puppy. She quickly understood to stop pulling with a couple gentle corrections.

We bought this product because our 1 year old cockapoo (28 pounds) pulled on every single walk. We did tons of obedience classes with him and even private sessions and nothing seemed to stop him from pulling. We were recommended this product by a friend and it has made a night and day difference. I canât believe how good he walks now. We had to remove a few links because it fit to big on him at first but once we got it to the right size, it worked wonders for him. I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone struggling with a dog who pulls.

I used the Starmark collar for training puppy to have a great walk. It only took two corrective-U-turns for him to start paying attention to the walker instead of everything else around him. Small treats for good walking helped reinforce the lessons. What was difficult was fastening the small smooth slippery spring-clip; I crazy-glued at the swivel so it wouldn’t move as much but it was still a challenge.

works well for teaching dog not to pull on walks; you may need to order extra links separately

My puppy trainer introduced me to this product. The effects are relatively instant and controlling your curious leash-pulling puppy during a walk is definitely easier with this collar. Very happy with the results.
