Description

Made in Germany with precise German engineering, reliability, and quality by the world's foremost manufacturer of top quality training collars

Train your dog to walk calmly on a leash with the help of this Herm Sprenger fur saver collar. This sturdy tool will allow you to have more control to prevent pulling. Furthermore, it will help you to train your dog more effectively.

The design of this training collar is quite simple. It is made up of a chain with 1/9 inches (3.0 mm) link diameter and two O-rings with the Herm Sprenger quality stamp. One end ring has a chain going through it, the other doesn’t. The end ring without the chain going through is the end for a leash attachment.

Smooth links effortlessly run through the O-rings creating a loop, which can be easily slipped over the dog's head; The collar acts as a choker when the leash is attached to the live O-ring; Attaching the leash to the dead ring transforms the choker into an ordinary neck collar.

Lightweight and electro-welded links offer strength and durability; Long links are well suitable for long and fine fur.

If you have a long-haired canine, then this collar with fur-saving links is the one you are looking for. Long links of this collar do not damage, knot, or tangle long and thick fur.

The collar is made of stainless steel. Being made of this material, the supply is the most proficient product for all situations in your pet’s life. Due to the seawater resistance and the rust-proof properties, this gear will serve for years showing no signs of rusting.

How to size for a Fur Saver

This is the MOST important step.

Step-by-step:

  1. Use a flexible tape measure.
  2. Measure the dog’s neck high on the neck, just behind the ears.
  3. Record the exact neck circumference.
  4. Add 2–3 inches to that measurement.
  5. Choose the closest larger collar size.

👉 Example:

  • Dog neck = 18"
  • Add 2–3" → order 20–21"

Manufacturers recommend adding about 2–3 inches to the neck measurement to select proper chain length.

How do I put the fur saver on my dog?

Step-by-step

  1. Hold the collar so it forms a “P” shape (not a “q”).
  2. Slip the collar over your dog’s head.
  3. Position it high on the neck, behind the ears.
  4. Attach the leash to the live ring (the moving ring).
  5. Check that it tightens and releases smoothly.

✅ The collar should tighten when the dog pulls

✅ It should immediately loosen when pressure stops

FAQS

What is a fur saver collar?

A fur saver is a long-link training chain designed to reduce coat damage while still providing smooth slip-collar correction. The elongated links help minimize hair breakage compared to traditional choke chains.

Best for:

  • Obedience training
  • Heeling work
  • Long- or thick-coated dogs
  • Transitioning off a prong collar

Where exactly should I measure on my dog?

Measure right under the jaw and behind the ears, where the training collar will sit.

⚠️ Do NOT measure low on the shoulders — that causes oversizing and poor performance.

Can I leave a fur saver on my dog all day?

Not recommended.

Fur savers are training tools, not everyday unsupervised collars.

Best practice:

  • Use during walks and training
  • Remove after the session
  • Never leave on crate-unsupervised dogs

My dog is between sizes — which should I pick?

Always size UP.

A fur saver that is slightly large will still function.
A fur saver that is too small may:

  • Be hard to put on
  • Fit too tightly
  • Restrict proper movement

Will a fur saver damage my dog’s coat?

When properly fitted and used:

✅ Designed specifically to reduce coat breakage

✅ Long links minimize hair pulling

✅ Preferred for long-coat working dogs

However, ANY chain can cause wear if:

  • Left on 24/7
  • Sized too small
  • Allowed to drag low on the neck

Can beginners use a fur saver?

Yes — but proper fit and leash handling matter.

Best for dogs who:

  • Already understand leash pressure
  • Don’t require strong correction
  • Are transitioning from prong work

Should the fur saver sit high or low on the neck?

✅ High on the neck (correct)

❌ Low on the shoulders (incorrect)

High placement gives:

  • Clear communication
  • Faster release
  • Better control
  • Less pulling power

What is the difference between 3mm and 4mm fur saver collars?

The difference between 3mm and 4mm fur savers is the thickness (wire gauge) of the chain.

  • 3mm = lighter, thinner chain
  • 4mm = heavier, thicker, stronger chain

Wire gauge directly affects:

  • strength
  • weight
  • durability
  • how the correction feels

Manufacturers note that 3mm works well for medium-to-large breeds, while 4mm is designed for large, strong dogs.

What’s the difference between the metals used in Herm Sprenger collars?

Herm Sprenger collars are made from a range of high-quality metals, each offering unique benefits.

Chrome-plated steel is a budget-friendly option that resists rust and has a shiny finish—great for short-haired dogs and light use.

Black stainless steel offers a sleek, modern look with strong corrosion resistance, though the black coating may gradually wear.

Silver stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and is ideal for all coat types, especially for dogs that swim or live in humid environments.

Curogan, a copper-tin alloy, is completely nickel-free and a great choice for dogs with skin sensitivities or fur discoloration.
