If you have a look here (Pauld posted the link before) the prong's seem to be cheaper, But not sure how much postage is Question

There under Pinz collars


Not much help other than that as I haven't used one.

We've got 2 springers and one of them pulls really badly Sad

Got a loan of one to see if it worked and it's brilliant might not look that great but we've got a totally different dog on a lead now it's a pleasure to go for walks.

I've ordered 2 although my other dog doesn't pull as bad we feel it would still make a difference to the slight pull that he has just now.

Only wish we had heard of these sooner

Debbie and Kodi have been using this type of collar for a just over a week now.

When I have taken Kodi out over this period I have used this collar also.

The results have been outstanding.

This morning I took Kodi out with her slip collar on.

She did not pull once.

After a week or so, it may be too soon to say that Kodi has stopped pulling, we will continue using the collar.

But I think with this sort of improvement we may not need to use it for ever.

The advise we have had is to keep it high on her neck and tight enough not to let it slip down.

Jack

looked at the website but doesn't seem to say what length they are or perhaps I am not reading it right?

The one you have shown on the ebay link I would leave....Lynn has got one like that, the way it joins at the clasp end is no use, Lynn has got rid of hers and ordered a new one

will phone them tomorrow as only one appears to state the size and the rest just have the dimensions of the clasps as far as I can see. gives you a rough estimate of the breed of dog or strength . will measure round kasey's and kiera's necks and get a rough etimate to order.

small too, think it is because it doesn't have the quick release.
