2 Ways to Make Your Prong Collar Easier and Safer to Use
Using a prong collar shouldn’t be frustrating. With a few simple upgrades, you can make your gear faster to use, more secure, and more reliable. Whether you’re working with multiple dogs or just want to streamline your setup, these tools make a difference.
1. Add a Quick-Release Buckle
Still squeezing prong links every time you gear up? A quick-release buckle replaces the center plate on modern prong collars and makes everyday use easier.
Once installed, the buckle lets you take the collar on and off without bending the prong links. That reduces wear and lowers the risk of failure. It also helps avoid pinched fingers and misaligned prongs.
Be sure to select the correct size to match your collar's gauge. If you’re not sure which one fits, check the product page or contact us for help.

2. Use a Backup Clip
Even properly fitted prong collars can come apart if a link slips open, especially after repeated bending or pinching during regular use.
A backup clip connects your leash to a secondary collar your dog is already wearing, like a flat collar or martingale. If the prong collar fails, the backup clip keeps your dog safely on leash. It is a small tool that adds a major layer of security.
Final Thoughts
The right upgrades do not change how your prong collar works. They make it easier to use, more consistent, and less likely to fail. If this is part of your daily gear, small improvements go a long way.
