Important
Leerburg strongly recommends using a backup collar any time you use a prong collar. Prong collars can come apart (especially if not fit properly). With a backup collar, you can ensure that your dog will remain leashed. We recommend using a Dominant Dog Collar as a backup. Paired alongside with the Prong Collar Leash, your backup leash won't interfere with prong collar corrections. A retractable leash should not be used with prong collars.
