How do you put the collar on? Do you place the prongs against throat or back of neck?

I use the collars loose enough to move so it can be virtually anywhere on the neck.

We put the prongs on the throat but as the dog moves around & scratches the prongs move. It doesn't matter where they are bcuz it still works very well

I have not made the collar tight enough to stay on the back of the neck. The collar migrates to underneath the neck while the dogs are playing. I think they respond well because it is not painful but irritating. They can't quite figure it out so they just mind your command and continue playing.

I place the prongs under their neck. It just seems to want to rest that way on them naturally. When I've tried putting it behind their necks, they end up rotating underneath anyway. They've never minded them on and have even fallen asleep with them still on.

I put it with the prongs against the throat - and make sure it isn't too tight. I think as heavy as that part is, it would eventually fall to the throat even if you started at the back of the neck.

You need to place the prongs in a new position each time you use the collar. This prevents sore spots from developing on your dogs neck from repeated exposure. I also recommend using the rubber prongs. They usually work just fine for training and reduce the risk of sores as well.

How do u line up the collars? Blades with the notches or with the solid part?

There is a button for a strap on the bottom of the body. Then you use a piece of string or something to tie above the nut on the neck (under the strings) to the other end of the strap.

You can get very small collars for small dogs. Larger dogs can use the regular size, and they come with short and long prongs depending on the dogs fur depth.

Thank you for your question! Once the battery is in place, the collar is ready to be set and used. Please know that we do recommend to spend some time in training your pet with this system.

I have never used it as a collar. My minies wear their body harness because if you hit breaks you could strangle your pet with collor only.

After reading all responses, the method that I use is wrapping it around the back of my neck. I give a little slack to the right ear and usually the left side doesn't move too much. I guess it would depend on what activity you're doing. Also I have a name tag clip on it sometimes. That way I can clip them to my shirt.

I don't adjust the collar every time I put it on. It's still adjusted from the last wear. So I just slip it over his nose then clip the part that is snug under his head. Easy ;)

I use them to prevent droopy collar with a long sleeve dress shirt. Also to prevent the flap on the shirt from hanging off to the side. The magnets allow you to position the collar area exactly as you want it.

I know. I wear it backwards and upside down. I am about ready to buy a hard collar they use after neck surgery. It's the worst thing about traveling.

lleave the collar on all the time. You will have a lovely mellow cat (hopefully) and kitty won't think you are punishing it by putting on a collar at night. Also your cat will smell really nice because of the light lavender smell. Put it on loosely and chances are good the cat will ignore it. It doesn't smell weird like a new collar and it doesn't chaff their neck. Good luck.

The collar comes with two different prong sizes. I use the shorter ones on my beagle mix, but his fur isn't very thick. They're about 1/2in long. I feel like the longer prongs might work for you, but it depends on how thick your dog's fur is.

while you are at it, buy a harness for your dog. smart people realize that the neck (collar) is not the best place to restrain your dog.

No cover. You need a scarf or homemade cover unless you want to wash it after use. And a PS, I find this particular collar too stiff and uncomfortable.

Sorry I am not familiar with a prong collar. This is a hard plastic material.

The collar thread through two brackets at the sides and around the front to stabilize it, you have two size of electrodes depending on the fur of your dog, short fur you use the smaller ones, long or thick the other. Hope this helps.
