Starmark Pro-Training Plastic Dog Collar

Our trainer recommended this collar after we had trouble keeping our pup's attention in class. It sits high behind the ears and with his fur barely touches his skin. It's just enough to tug and get him to listen. He DID NOT like it at first, gave an almost full body shudder as he tried to get it off, but he settled down immediately. A word of warning: even the large isn't very big. Our trainer keeps extra links which is the only way this fit our pup. Highly recommend as a training tool!

I have two large dogs, 90 and 100 pounds. They are good pups, but sometimes I can’t get them out for walks end and they are a bit hard to handle when not walked much. This collar works perfectly! They don’t fight it, and no choking etc. I have bad arthritis and on,y weigh 115 pounds, so it’s so incredible to have a good walk with my babies!

I read all the reviews but bought this hoping it might work. Wow. My 2 1/2 year old, very energetic pit bull/ boxer mix is a new dog. He is usually so difficult on a leash he has to be harnessed and slip-leashed, with so much pulling and lunging I was ready to give up. At 72 pounds of pure muscle, every leash attempt was cringe-worthy. The instant this new collar it went around his neck he sat. He didn’t lunge or act up in any way. The true test will be when he goes to the vet for a nail trim. Very pleased so far. The large was a perfect fit.

I bought this for our 5 month old Great Dane. I followed the brief directions on the back, even watched a YouTube video. Honestly, she is not affected and continues to pull. I wanted a less harsh option for the prong collar but looking back, I should’ve bought the prong.

This should be zero stars. I bought 2 of these for my standard poodles, I used one on our younger dog and the product worked as intended and she was great in the leash. My daughter used the second one to take our other Dog on a hike, the stitching on the nylon portion of the collar failed almost immediately as they were walking from the house to the car, the collar broke & our dog was loose. We are grateful her recall is good or this could have been a bad situation, this collar was brand new this was the first time using it. I will not use the other one anymore for fear it will fail as well. Collar would be great if stitching on the slide part was better or another way to hold it together was This should be zero stars.

This collar has helped so much on having enjoyable walks with our 8 month old puppy. Is not perfect but such a big improvement. I have tried several other items that were recommended, this works best so far

The product says it fits up to 21". I measured my dog's neck, she's 20.5" When the collar came in the mail I attempted to put it on her and it does not fit. I thought, fine- I'm sure I can purchase another link. I was VERY DISSAPOINTED to find out the only option is 3 links and they are pretty much the price of the collar!!!!! The collar cost about $10 and the 3 links are $8!! (My dog is just a boxer- it's not like she is some giant dog. I purchased the largest collar size)

My 5 year old rescue dog has had a lot of trouble walking on a leash and pulling when she sees other dogs. We've tried training with headcollars, harnesses, slip chains and and none of them have worked for her. Although it looks a little thick on her neck it fits her well and she's responding well to it so far. We only use it on short training walks and so far she's learned not to pull and to walk next to me. I'm only giving it 3 stars cause I wanted something more gentle than a prong collar which is why I bought this collar in the first place but the points were pretty sharp and I ended up having to file them down.

My wife and I have to dogs,a schnauzer and a corgi mix. Both are good dogs but very high energy and active but they can get a little out of control. These collars were recommended by a trainer and what a difference in my dogs behavior! Now at first they will bite into the dogs neck if they pull or jump, but once they get accustomed to it, they are like different dogs. They listen and obey, no more scolding and pulling. I highly recommend this collar if you are having trouble training a dog!

The largest size they carried was a L. My dog is 100 lbs and it fit but it be we’re just a bit bigger it wouldn’t have fit. It did not come with extra links to be able to modify the size. However, it was more effective than the front harness I had been using. My dog still pulls from time to time but definitely not as much.
