does this system come with the longer collar prongs for thick haired dogs like Siberian huskies ?

The prongs are more than long enough for our pit bull. Amazing response on minimal setting - he learned his limits within minutes. It may take a slightly higher setting than we use to compensate for the extra hair. No problems at all - love the system!

There are longer prongs, yes. I do believe they would suffice for a husky. Great system, we've been really impressed

The contacts supplied were pretty long, and extremely effective on level two and three (out of five levels of correction). If necessary, you can go to thje SportDog website and order the long contact points for you long haired dog. I think they sell for about $10. This is the most tunable fence system I've found. The ability to set the intensity/width of the fence, the types of correction (shock, tone , tone plus shock) and the five different levels of shock make it easy to fine tune to your dog's needs. Get it. You won't be disappointed.

The collar comes with a lot of extra length to trim. My dog has an 17" neck and there was a lot of extra.

I love this collar, i also switched it to a normal dog collar and u just need one that can slide through the stots on each side...think they are 1.5 " wide slits. The spare prongs work for a dog who's coat gets thick in the winter. Been used all year, and in water plenty.

Yes, it should. It's a tad bulky where the unit with the prongs is located but it is not heavy. You will probably have to add a couple of notch holes because it will not fit your dogs neck with the existing holes. No big deal. Just drive a nail through with a hammer and make sure the prongs are in contact with your dogs neck. Not too tight. Just enough to know they'll feel the pulse when they bark. Remember not to leave it on over 12 hrs and make sure you shut it off when you remove it so the battery won't wear down. You can control the intensity of the pulse they get when they bark which is helpful depending on how well your pooch responds to the lower levels. If they still bark, pick it up another level and check once more that the collar has good contact with the neck area. It definitely does work.

Not absolutely sure but the collar that came with mine got chewed up so I just bought another one at the pet store that was comparable in thickness and it worked like a charm.

I have one of these collars for both of my 75lb dogs. It is the only collar that works EVEN through their thick fur.

No, but the Medium is a bit too big for our skinny, but tall, 30 lb. dog. It works fine worn behind her normal collar, though.

Yes. I had to add links to my dogs collar as he grew. It is very easy and that was one of the things I really liked about this collar.

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.

It doesn't. Each collar comes with its own remote. I just marked the remotes with the dog's initial and put a black collar on one dog and orange on the other so that I don't get the collars and remotes mixed up. One of our dogs is more easy-going than the other so his beeper/buzzer is set at a lower charge than the stubborn dog. Honestly after training, the beeper is all that is necessary for correcting most behavior. I rarely ever use the buzzer feature!

Yes it does. The collars are smaller width than the originals, but the holes line up perfectly.

Kit came with two sets of prongs. The shorter prongs were attached to the collar. Quite frankly, our dog learned so quickly to respond to the sound of the collar once he had received just a couple of shocks that we have removed the prongs to make the collar more comfortable.

If it is a long haired dog, you will need to buy the longer prongs to replace original ones. My dog is a Great Pyrenees and I had to buy them. Now I usually only have to use the audible button to get my dogs attention.

No..it comes with an extra set of studs for the collar that are longer for thick coated dogs. This fence worked awesome for us.

I have a labradoodle and he gets fluffy - I think the prongs are long - they are about the same as an invisible fence collar.

The system comes with one collar unless you find a deal specifically saying it has two collars. You will have to purchase an additional collar.

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.
