How Should You Place A Prong Collar On A Dog
Getting the right fit on a dog is important for both the dog’s comfort and for the safety of the trainer. It’s also important to understand how to put a prong collar on your dog correctly so that you don’t hurt them.
The prong collar should be placed on the dog correctly so that you don’t hurt the dog.
The prong collar should be placed on the dog’s neck in the correct way so that you don’t hurt the dog. It should fit snugly, but not tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the prong collar and your dog’s neck.
The prong collar should go around your dog’s neck with the metal part facing away from their head, as shown in Figure 1 below:

A correctly placed prong collar is worn high up around the dog’s neck so that it sits snugly behind the ears and in front of the dog’s throat.
To wear your prong collar correctly, you should place it high up around the dog’s neck so that it sits snugly behind the ears and in front of the dog’s throat. This is where the prongs can most effectively apply pressure to correct bad behavior.
If you place a prong collar on too loosely, it will slide off when your dog pulls against it or tries to bite at it, making training ineffective. If you place a prong collar on too tightly, you could hurt your dog by restricting its breathing ability or cutting off blood circulation.
Check to make sure the collar is appropriately tight by placing your fingers between the prong collar and your dog’s neck after putting it on.
It’s important to make sure that the collar is appropriately tight. Here’s how you can tell if it’s too loose:
- You can fit more than two fingers between the prong collar and your dog’s neck, even when she pulls away from you. This means that the prongs are no longer touching her skin, which will prevent them from delivering their intended correction.
- The prongs are pressed upward against your dog’s neck without contacting her skin at all—this is also an indication of too-loose collars.
Here are two ways to adjust a collar that’s too loose:
Ideally, you should only be able to fit two fingers between the prong collar and your dog’s neck.
Ideally, you should only be able to fit two fingers between the prong collar and your dog’s neck. This is not only important for safety reasons, but also to ensure that your dog has a perfect fit. If it’s too loose, your pup could slip right out of it. If it’s too tight, he could choke or even suffer an injury when struggling against the collar’s pressure.
Ideally, you should be able to fit two fingers between the prong collar and your dog’s throat/neck area as well—just like with humans: if something feels uncomfortable (like having someone else putting their hand on my throat), then I am going to struggle away from them until they remove themselves from me entirely!
You should understand how to put a prong collar on a dog correctly for safety reasons.
You should always be aware of safety when putting a prong collar on a dog. When fitting the collar, you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck. The prongs should be high up around the neck and snug but not too tight.
Conclusion
With these tips in mind, you should be able to put a prong collar on your dog safely. It’s important that the collar is placed correctly so that it doesn’t cause injury but still works as intended.
