Are the metal prongs removable? If, for example, you wanted to use this collar as a movie prop and not an actual shocking collar?

Can't answer this. We use this only as a dog collar to keep our pup from barking and it truly works!

We don't think so. The main mechanism would need to be unscrewed to release it from the red collar. I would be cautious about doing that. I wonder if you can just cut the main black mechanism about one inch on both sides, from the red strap............and secure it WELL to your dog's original collar. Perhaps with an industrial staple gun? Or a commercial sewing machine? Also, we have three dogs on these collars. In good weather they are out all the time. The batteries need to be replaced once a month. When they wear out, the dogs will go off property, so that's a word of caution as well.............I hope this helps. We don't think so.

It's been awhile so I can't be sure. You can email the seller to be sure. Definitely tape them inside the collar. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have never used it as a collar. My minies wear their body harness because if you hit breaks you could strangle your pet with collor only.

I wouldn't recommend this collar for such small dogs. The shocking unit is pretty big and would take up too much space on their little necks.

The prongs are removable. You pinch them, and pull them off, as many as you need to. this one might be slighly too large for a Boston Terrier, unless he has a think neck.

The shock/vibration part can be removed from the collar and there is a ring to clip a leash on it.

The collar is designed for easy removal-just twist the knurled knob to loosen and then pull up on the knob and the collar can then be detached. I see from your comment to a previous response that your issue is with the knob itself when the knob is in the vertical position. I don't believe you can remove the knob and still have the collar attached so for your situation it appears you will need to remove the collar when shooting vertically.

Yes, the T-bar is removable. Although it is kind of tough for one person to put it back on when all the lights are in place. This is because you have to guide the two collars that are on the support bars on to the pole first and then the T-bar. It's really not a big deal, just thought I would mention it.

I used it as an E-collar replacement. With a bit of effort, I was able to make it work. While I can't say for sure about your invisible fence application, it seems that most of these collars are similar.

Yes. The collars take 3 volt batteries. I have changed the batteries and the collars still work great.

I think the collars are supposed to be one-size-fits all. You can adjust it quite a bit. My dog is about 90 lbs, and it just fits him. You cannot adjust the shock intensity on these. The Invisible Fence guy who serviced our fence said you can adjust it on theirs. However, I accidentally shocked myself, and it's not too bad. Enough to be unpleasant and tingle for a minute or two afterward, but not too bad.

The antenna is replaceable. It is only a short piece of copper wire enclosed in plastic. As an emergency fix you could also insert a straightened paper clip into the antenna opening - there is no shock or safety issue with the transmission of the signal to the dog collar. (Don't use coax cable - the "shielding" layer will mask out your signal emanating from the central transmission wire.) Only the collar has a charge which is "triggered" by the signal from the hand held remote.

I've used mine well over 100 times and the metal prongs are still solid. Must be defective, I'd send it back

Yes. The buzzer/collar reciever as these two prongs which screw into the reciever and lay on the neck so the dog can feel the vibration, or shock. There are two sizes. One small and one large.
