MicroPlus: The Micro Prong Dog Collar

The Micro Prong Dog Collar for Small and Toy Breeds

Introducing the MicroPlus: The Micro Prong Dog Collar, SPRENGER's innovative solution for training small and toy breeds weighing 15 pounds or less. For years, owners of Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, and other petite dogs struggled to find effective training tools sized appropriately for their companions. The MicroPlus prong collar changes everything, delivering the same German engineering and humane design as our full-sized collars in a delicate 1.5 mm wire gauge perfectly suited to tiny necks.

1.5 mm Wire Gauge Herm Sprenger Prong Collar

The MicroPlus features an ultra-fine 1.5 mm wire gauge that provides gentle yet effective feedback for dogs under 15 pounds. This specialized sizing ensures that small breeds receive appropriate communication without the bulk or weight of standard collars. Each prong is carefully rounded and polished to SPRENGER's exacting standards, delivering humane correction that respects your small dog's delicate structure while teaching essential manners.

Herm Sprenger Micro Prong Collar For Small Dog Training

Small dogs deserve the same quality training as their larger furry friends. The MicroPlus prong collar helps toy breeds master leash walking, impulse control, and obedience without the frustration of ill-fitting equipment. Many small dog owners struggle with pulling, lunging at other dogs, or reactive behavior—the MicroPlus provides clear boundaries that help even the feistiest Papillon or most determined Miniature Pinscher learn self-control and focus.

Perfect for Toy Breeds: Who Benefits from MicroPlus

The MicroPlus: The Micro Prong Dog Collar is ideal for toy breeds including Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Toy Poodles, Maltese, Miniature Pinschers, and similar small dogs. If your dog weighs 15 pounds or less and needs help with leash manners or basic obedience, the MicroPlus offers a safe, effective training solution that won't overwhelm their small frame.

Material Options: Stainless Steel and Black Stainless

Choose from stainless steel prong collars for classic durability and corrosion resistance, or black stainless steel collars for a modern, sleek appearance. Both materials maintain SPRENGER's quality standards, with rounded prongs that ensure comfortable, effective training. The lightweight construction means your small dog barely notices the collar's presence when walking calmly, but receives immediate feedback when pulling occurs.

Micro Prong Dog Collar With Herm Sprenger Center Plate 

The MicroPlus prong collar features, like any other Herm Sprenger prong collar, a center-plate design that faces the prong away from the canine's sensitive larynx. Available configurations include models with swivel attachments for tangle-free leash work or dual-ring options for versatile training setups. The center-plate ensures the collar stays properly positioned high on the neck, where communication is most effective. As your small dog grows or if you need a slightly larger fit, extra middle links are available in both Stainless Steel and Stainless Steel Black. These additional links let you adjust the collar's circumference while maintaining proper prong spacing and function.

Training Applications: When Small Dogs Need Big Solutions

Don't let your dog's size fool you—small breeds can exhibit challenging behaviors that require effective tools. Use the MicroPlus prong collar for dogs that pull relentlessly despite dog harnesses or flat collars, lunge at larger dogs out of fear or aggression, or refuse to focus during walks. The immediate, gentle feedback helps small dogs understand expectations quickly, making training sessions more productive and less stressful for both of you.

Safe Training Practices: Essential Accessories

We recommend pairing your MicroPlus with a lightweight Dog Leash appropriate for small breeds—typically 4 to 6 feet in length. Add a Safety Clip as backup security, especially important for tiny dogs who might slip away if primary attachments fail. Between training sessions, maintain your small dog's coat with Dog Grooming Supplies designed for toy breeds, and reward progress with appropriately sized Dog Toys & Training Accessories.

Why MicroPlus Stands Apart from Other Small Dog Collars

Many training collars marketed for small dogs are simply scaled-down versions that don't account for the unique needs of small breeds. The MicroPlus: The Micro Prong Dog Collar was engineered from the ground up specifically for dogs 15 pounds and under, with prong geometry, link spacing, and wire gauge optimized for their size. This attention to detail ensures effective training without risk of injury or discomfort.
