I'm not sure what weight/size prong collar is best for my 40 lb medium sized field type English Springer Spaniel. Can you advise me?

The collar is adjustable to fit any dog. I have an English Springer Spaniel and A German Shepard it will fit either dog.

You should NOT buy a larger link just in order to get the size around the neck correct. You should use the smaller link and add more of them. For a dog less than 40 lbs. you can use the 2.5 mm size (small) and add extra links, which come in packs of 3. The collar should fit snuggly; otherwise, if loose, it will irritate the dog's neck and you won't be able to make a gentle correction.

Measure your dog's neck (loosely) and order a collar 1-1/2-2" larger than neck size, if between sizes go UP, rather than down in size. It should not fit snugly until pulled. It can be TOO TIGHT, but never too loose.

Sorry for the delay, I don't check my mail regularly. I ordered the medium for my 25 pound small dog and had to remove 4 of the links.Which left 6. These can always be added back in later if needed. My dog pulls really hard and this size works well for that. Her regular neck collar is 14 inches. I hope this helps you some. I also had trouble deciding which size I needed.

Herm Sprenger Pinch Collar, 16-Inch, Medium 3.0 Millimeter should be the best fit. You'll need to remove anywhere from 1 to 4 prongs for a proper fit.

I think you need the next size down. It's too big for your dog. Are you keeping this collar on your dog 24-7? I only use mine to walk the dog. It shouldn't fall off when you're walking your dog. If it does, it is definitely too large.

I actually had to go get a prong collar...I needed to correct my dog and not choke her. This collar allowed my dog to pull, actually almost stand up on her hind legs while pulling against the leash...it would begin to choke her.

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.

Sorry I am not familiar with a prong collar. This is a hard plastic material.

For prong collars, measure around the dog's neck and add 1" - 2". Prong collars should fit snug and high on dog's neck. Links can be added or removed to adjust fit.

My dogs are quite a bit larger than yours, at 65lbs or so. However, my sister uses this with her poodle mix and with her yorkie and both are quite small at 15 or less. The yorkie is under 10 lbs, for sure. I think the collars she has must be a smaller version, though.

The collar is pretty larg. I cut mine already so I can not measure exact length. It should work for your dogs, I have a 90 lb boxer/Irish wolf hound mix and I have it on the lowest stimulation setting.

I Bought This For My 7week Old Cocker Spaniel (12in). The Collar is a Little Big But Wont Come Off! Not Sure The Type Of Dog You Have But The Medium Is Perfect For Our Puppy Because She's Growing So Quickly. Hope This Helps And It Is A Beautiful Collar By The Way.

I have a 55lbs lab and the prongs could be a little smaller. I'd suggest the next size down.

Hello,This collar worked great on my dog.However, she weighs around 13 ponds.The collar is bulky on her.I am guessing it would be too heavy for your dog.I hope this helped.Have a great day.

I would think that a medium would be the size you would use on your Labradoodle. I have a German shorthair pointer and that is the size I use on her. Nice thing with these collars you can take links out or add. Very easy to do! Great collar! Hope this helps you!

Our schnauzer weighs around 15 pounds and we had a medium size collar for him and it worked really well. It wasn't too tight but still kept him from getting to his stomach where his incision was located. The e-collar also attaches to a collar, so even if it is a little big it should not be a problem. I think it'd be safer to go with a larger size than too small.

If your dog is done growing I think the small should be enough. I bought the medium 1" for a Bernese who now is 85lbs. The collar allows some room for adjustment around the neck. Very sturdy collars and gentle around the neck. Easily washable. Love the loop that fits your hand to keep the dog at arm's length. Good luck.

The receiver that is in the picture would definitely work. The one shown is for stubborn dogs. I have a 90lb German Shepherd that wears that collar. If you have a 20lb dog, you may want to try the other version of the collar. Also if your dog has short hair, you may want to use the small "prongs". If the dog has long hair, use the longer "prongs". Ken

I think this collar is definitely too large for them! Dogtra makes ecollars specifically for smaller dogs so I would look those up. I have a 65 lb lab and I had to cut about eight inches off of the collar due to it being so long. However, it fits my 110 lb lab perfectly :]
