Fur saver's - Page 2

Quite a while - I didn't check dates but it seemed to take 2 or 3 months.

I use both and remove the collar after walks / training or they will all damage hair if left on.

I use a Sprenger fur saver, have never had any problem with it's breaking the coat. I don't even own a chain choke anymore. I like the fursaver because I can use it as a choke or as a non-slip collar simply by choosing the way I use the snap on the lead. My dog doesn't wear a collar 24/7.

I normally use a Herm Sprenger prong collar for general use and obedience, maybe a fur saver dead linked to go to the vet depending on the dog, show collar for the ring, agitation collar and a prong for protection...oh, crap, my dog wears so many different collars for so many different reasons it's hard to say!  If you'll be training, get one of everything (with the exception of a so-called "gentle leader"); better to have the tool you need when you need it than to not have it and lose a day of training.

The dog goes in his crate naked.

I use Stainless Steel Fur Savers...and they only wear them when going somewhere or training...They wear them for training along with a prong (Stainless Steel)...I only use the Stainless Steel stuff...To me it's worth the difference in price in the quality and how long they last...

Many times when I'm working a dog they have multiple collars on...Always a fur saver and almost always a prong...Sometimes an Agitation Collar and sometimes an E-Collar...I think while working a dog should wear these collars even if you don't expect to use it...

Exactly!

I use a Sprenger prong from time to time and always attach it to a dominant dog collar or a fursaver. I've had prongs open up two times,  never use them alone anymore.

the stainless are quite a bit higher than the chrome plated. I lose so many, I go with the cheaper.

I never leave a choker on a dog unsupervised.  That's a disaster waiting to happen.

i use fur saver for morning walk only, so i can brush, then naked in house, the julius k9 harness for other walks with my big girl......... just a buckel with lil boy, again naked in house/crate

Never ever leave a choke chain of any sort on your dog!
It is a training tool and needs to be removed when not in use. I nearly lost my male americna bulldog pup when he got entangled with his mother playing. She somehow managed to get her bottom jaw twisted in the chain and they started to struggle. Well Luther started to choke to death and Ivy was too panicked to untangle her. By the time my Dad got the dogs untangled Luther had stopped breathing. He had to do chest compressions to get him back. Poor pup blew the blood vessels in his eyes and his mother had a nasty bruise all around her jaw.
Even though i knew better i still just left that damn collar on my pup like an idiot. Nearly cost my pup his life.
Choke chains, prong collars, martinglas as toola nd need to be removed when you are not training. Dog have died because they got their collars cought on fences, slots in decking and other seemingly harmless stuff.
I only allow my dog to ear a buckle collar at home to hold their rabies tags.


P.S.
I know of a rottie that killed himself on a flat buckle collar because he was on a over head tie out and spun around and round till he actually managed to get his own front feet off the ground. His owners found him hung in the back yard when they dog home.
Just be careful and use some common sense.
