Snap-Around Training Collar

Price: From $9.50 to $16.50
Manufacturer: Handcraft Collars Inc

The Professional’s choice. Invented by Handcraft Collars, Inc. Handmade nylon collar snaps around dog’s neck for a more precise fit. Stays in place and gives the handler better control for more effective teaching.

Used by world renowned instructors, and often referred to as the "Volhard" collar.

(Made in 1/2" Graduated Sizes)

For Strong small breeds such as Jack Russell, Schnauzers, etc. we recommend Stock number 1-143 (large rings, large trigger or bolt snap) for dogs that fit into this size range.

Stock number 1-183 (Tiny ring, Tiny Bolt Snap) is available only in a tiny bolt snap.
 
*** Remember, when placing your order for the Snap-Around Training Collar- that an exact measurement is needed. The collars come in whole and half sizes, for example: 12", 12.5", 13", 13.5", etc.
 
When measuring your dog for a Snap-Around Training Collar, place your dog in a standing position. Measure under the chin, around the neck, and then up behind the ears. You want a Snug fit, but not choking. Add an extra ½" for smooth coated dogs, or 1" for long coated dogs to the measurement obtained. This ½" - 1" will give the necessary check with less effort, and will help the collar stay in place.

If you are ordering a Snap-Around Training Collar for a puppy (not an Adjustable Snap-Around), add 2" larger to allow for growth. When you get the collar, tie a knot, maybe two knots in the center of the collar to take up slack. This will make the collar smaller, and you can get the proper fit you need now while training your puppy. As the puppy grows, let the knot or knots back out to make the collar larger. This will also prevent you from having to purchase several collars while that puppy grows.

Snap-Around Training Collar
Tom R. (Anaheim, CA) 5/11/2011 5:55 PM
I had never known of this type of collar before, and decided to purchase two of these training collars for my two dogs. I got amazing results when I used the collars on them, and it seemed that once I hooked the leash to the collar, they knew immediately what was expected of them! Had to use very little effort. I highly recommend the Snap-Around Training Collar!

Snap- Around Training Collar
Maria Keelon (Michigan) 5/11/2011 5:45 PM
"I have two APBT who are very active strong working dogs so I needed a good control collar. A friend let me borrow his Snap- Around collar and I couldn't believe how easy it was to get my dogs to settle while wearing it. It takes a minimal correction to get them in a heel, and I prefer it over a pinch in most casses. I will start to recommend it to friends!"
