One of the most common questions we get from new puppy owners is what to do with puppies that bite. While this topic is covered in our DVD titled Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months, in this video clip we will listen to Michael Ellis explain to students at his school in California how to deal with puppies that bite their owners. This video was filmed in Michael's Puppy Development class, which he holds several times a year.

The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong.

How to Measure Your Dog For a Keeper Collar

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.

These collars are designed to easily be put on and taken off. Gone are the days of struggling to pinch the prongs together. For those people who do not have a ton of dexterity in their fingers, this is going to be a huge benefit.

Because you are no longer pinching the prongs to put the collar on and take off, you do not have to worry about them eventually wearing out and becoming loose. This also eliminates the worry of your prong coming apart when you need it most. With that, you no longer need to use a backup collar. Leerburg has always recommended using a backup collar with a prong. Simply because if and when the prong fails it will fail when you need it most and maintaining control over your dog in those instances is crucial. With the Keeper Collar, there is no way for the prongs to come apart. Even if they did, the leather flat strap doubles as your back up collar.
