FAQs

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure your dog's neck circumference and add at least 2-3 inches to ensure it can pass over the dog's head and provide enough slack for effective correction.

Is this collar safe for everyday wear?

No, check chains should only be used during walks or training sessions and should be removed once the dog is back indoors.

What is the benefit of the welded links?

Welded links prevent the chain from snapping or pulling apart under high tension, which is crucial for large breed safety.

Will the chrome finish rub off?

With proper care, the high-quality plating is very durable; however, heavy friction against rough surfaces can cause gradual wear over time.

Can this be used with a standard leash?

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard leads that feature a swivel clip for easy attachment.

Troubleshooting

Collar does not slide freely

Check for debris or dirt between the links and clean with warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly.

Excessive rust appearing

Ensure the collar is dried after exposure to rain or water; if the chrome plating has been deeply scratched, consider replacing it to avoid skin irritation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally durable welded link design
  • High-quality chrome finish resists rust
  • Secure enough for large and giant dog breeds
  • High strength-to-weight ratio

Cons

  • Requires proper training knowledge to use safely
  • Metal construction may be heavy for smaller dogs
  • Not suitable for use as an everyday flat collar

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the collar, thread the chain through one of the end rings to create a loop. Place the loop over the dog's head so that the lead attachment ring sits on top of the neck, ensuring the collar releases tension when the dog stops pulling.

Compatibility: This collar is strictly for large breeds. Ensure your dog's neck measurement allows for the correct size (60cm-75cm) so that the collar can function properly without being too tight or too loose.

Care Instructions: While the chrome plating is designed to resist rust, it is best practice to wipe the collar down with a dry cloth after walks in wet or muddy conditions. If the chain becomes heavily soiled, clean it with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly to prevent moisture from settling in the links.
