Easy To Use & Immediate Results,
I purchased this collar for training my 6 month old Golden Retriever/Australian Cattle Dog mix.
Naturally a 6 month old has energy to spare and my dog is a strong puller. We had tried traditional collars as well as other specialty training collars with no positive results. We enrolled her in a Beginners Obedience Class and our trainer turned us on to the Triple Crown collar.
Immediately after putting it on our dog there was a difference in her behavior. She stopped pulling and began to respond to her training. When she begins to pull we give a slight jerk on her leash and she stops.
This collar beats the traditional choke chain and is easier for the beginner to use than the choke chain.
I found that the collar was easy to adjust and you can purchase extra links to compensate for your dog’s growth.
The only downside is that there are no training instructions to accompany the collar.

|Great idea but pulled apart when puppy lunged,
Definitely worked well on my 6 month old German Shepherd puppy. Made a world of difference taking her for walks and getting her attention when she got excited.
Unfortunately, it is not that strong and pulled part when she went after a cat. This is the second time it pulled apart. The first time it happened, I thought maybe I didn’t click the links together properly. But this time, if you look at the links, you can clearly see the plastic deformed to allow the separation. I am returning to Amazon and recommending that they inform the manufacturer.

|Works great; gentle correction safe for puppy,
We used this on our full-of-energy Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (4 months) to train her to walk on a leash without pulling (or stopping). It works great, she’s very responsive, and it’s very gentle. I put the collar around my bare calf and tugged as hard as I could on the leash, and can personally testify that the discomfort is minor – no piercing of the skin at all. more like a tight grip with fingertips. Highly recommended.
[[Update]] – As our puppy grew, the pressure she could put on the links by pulling increased dramatically. Also, the method of opening the collar to let her out, namely disconnecting two adjacent links, started to wear down the plastic nubs holding the links together. Eventually the links started to pop open when she pulled on the collar, which led us to purchase a metal prong collar instead.
