I always just put the collar on somewhere in the middle of the links, is that wrong? I know theres an actual spot to do them up, but I've just been doing wherever...
I just looked at mine and it says "SPRENGER" on it, so I guess I lucked out! It ran me about $30 cdn by the time I got all the extra links, so ya, I'd say its probably the most expensive training collar I've ever bought
Get a muzzle for your dog - so he will not bite you when he gets a very hard correction.
Then learn how to correct him so that he respects your correction. He does not respect your correction right now because it is not working. If you have to, grind some dull points on every other prong. If that does not work, grind the rest of the prongs. When you tell the dog NO and he does not mind you had better correct the SOB until he fears for his life. If you can’t do this, you either need an electric collar or a new dog.
The praise is important even if the dog is corrected. This tells the dog that you still love it and that you have forgiven its stupidity.
The dog should not go off leash for a long time. Let it drag a 30-foot line. If it gets away and does get into a fight, the level of corrections must be so severe that the dog needs to think its life is threatened - by you. You need to be screaming NO NO NO!!! Giving multiple corrections like a crazy person.
With my males, (especially my males that are protection trained), I use a shovel – not a stick. For the simple reason that I may need it for protection (to stick in the dog’s mouth) if he turns and comes after me. A Schutzhund stick is not going to phase one of my males – it just pisses them off.

Damn, this guy sounds like a real....something. I don't know, seems a little zealous to use punishment in pretty severe amounts.
I was told and read it didn't matter. LOL Maybe that is why mine stretched. Thankskatiek0417 wrote:It says "open." You should put on and take off the prong using that area....even the steel ones can become bent/weak if you open them in another area (I learned that the hard way)
