We recommend following Herm Sprenger’s official prong collar sizing guidelines to ensure both safety and effectiveness. A correct fit prevents discomfort, loss of control, or injury, while promoting clear and humane communication.
How to size:
Measure your dog’s neck and add 2".
Select wire gauge by weight:
Up to 15 lbs → 1.5mm (MicroPlus)
Up to 60 lbs → 2.25mm (recommended)
Between 2.25mm & 3.0mm → 3.0mm Short (great middle option)
Up to 88 lbs → 3.0mm / 3.2mm
Tip: Fine-tune the fit by adding/removing prongs. The collar should sit snug and high on the neck for maximum clarity and control.
