Choke Chain Collar

Choke Chain Collars for Style & Control

Discover SPRENGER's collection of choke chain collars, time-tested training tools trusted by professional handlers and dog owners worldwide. Choke chain collars provide immediate feedback when your dog pulls, tightening gently to deliver correction and releasing instantly when your dog responds correctly. This clear cause-and-effect relationship helps dogs learn leash manners, impulse control, and obedience quickly and effectively. Of course you can also add a shackle for limited traction or use it without traction by leashing in the 'dead' ring. 

Premium Materials for SPRENGER Chain Collars

SPRENGER offers choke chain collars in multiple premium materials to suit your needs and preferences. CUROGAN provides nickel-free, hypoallergenic performance ideal for dogs with sensitive skin or metal allergies, while naturally stimulating salivation and chewing activity. Stainless Steel delivers maximum durability and corrosion resistance, perfect for all-weather training and active dogs. Stainless Steel Black offers a tactical, modern aesthetic with the same strength and reliability. Steel Chrome-Plated provides classic shine and reliable performance at an accessible price point, making quality training equipment available to every handler.

Dog Chain Collar Link Types to Match Your Dog's Coat

Selecting the right link type is essential for your dog's comfort and coat health. SPRENGER offers four distinct link styles to accommodate different coat types and lengths.

Dog Chain Collar With Short Round Links

Short round links are ideal for short-haired breeds like Boxers, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and Pit Bulls. The compact link geometry provides effective communication while the smooth, rounded surface glides easily without catching on short coats. Flat links are a variation of the round links and provide a more shiny look. 

Dog Chain Collar Medium Links

Medium links offer versatility for most breeds and coat types. They provide a balance between compact control and coat-friendly design, making them popular for dogs with moderate coat length or those between short and long-haired categories, e.g. Malinois, Labrador Retrievers.

Dog Chain Collar Long Links (Fur Saver Collars)

Long links, also known as Fur Saver Collars, feature long links, designed to protect longer coats. The extended link length glides smoothly through fur without pulling, breaking, or causing damage—essential for breeds like Golden Retrievers, Collies, German Shepherds, and other long-haired breeds. The general rule: the longer the dog's coat, the longer the link should be to reduce hair breakage and maintain coat quality. Fur Saver Collars are particularly valuable for show dogs or any owner who wants to preserve their dog's beautiful coat while maintaining effective training communication.

Choosing the Right Chain Collar Link Length for Your Dog

Consider your dog's coat length when selecting a choke chain collar. Short-haired breeds benefit from short round links that provide direct communication. Dogs with medium-length coats do well with medium links or flat links. Long-haired breeds require long links (FURsaver) to prevent coat damage. This thoughtful selection ensures your dog remains comfortable while you maintain effective training control.

Proper Use and Fit of Dog Chain Collars 

Choke chain collars should be sized to slip easily over your dog's head with minimal excess length. Always ensure the chain can release completely when your dog stops pulling, rewarding correct behavior with instant relief. For dogs with much larger heads than necks, consider adjustable SPRENGER collars with closures for easier on-and-off.

Complete Your Training System

Pair your choke chain collar with a quality Dog Leash for secure handling, and always add a Safety Clip for backup security, when working with a training collar. Maintain your dog's coat with Dog Grooming Supplies including Dog Combs & Brushes for Dogs, especially important when using training collars regularly.
