Guardian Gear X-Fine Chrome Snake-Chain Dog Collar, 16"

My dogs are large and strong and I walk three at a time so I need to have control. These collars slide smoothly so they don't stay tight, they release right away. Because they are thin they get the dogs attention, but they don't damage their coats. I use these collars every day and when I take them off you can't tell the dogs ever had a collar on. My dogs all have long bright white fur on their necks and have experienced discoloration from other collars but not from these. As with any choke style collar I do not allow my dogs to run loose or play wearing these for safety reasons. I highly recommend the Guardian Gear Chrome Snake Dog Chains for obedience work. They are a quality collar, look great, and get the job done. They are also strong. You can provide a sharp correction to a large dog with no fear of the collar failing.

My dog isn't a show dog, but I bought this to use as a thin tag collar. He's a Border Collie and normal collars sit awkward on his hair and leave indents. I was looking at simple rope collars, but this seemed like a better deal. I put this on as a choke chain, but then clip the two ends together with his tag clip so that he won't accidentally get caught on something and choke himself. It looks really sharp this way and is perfect for what I wanted. The tags unclip easily if I need to put him on a leash. I really like the snake chain over the traditional choke chain. Much thinner, looks nicer, and seems to release smoother. Its basically doggy bling! A 15" would have been perfect for him, but they don't make that size so I went with the 16" and it still fits good without being too loose. Ive used this at the beach a few times and so far it's held up really well with no signs of rust or tarnish.

Great dog chain for my dog. It works great while working with her for dog obedience school. Plus this one is super thin to use while showing a dog at a dog show. Great product

This is really nice for dogs that have been already trained and only a little encouragement is needed occasionally. It is plenty strong when you need it to be too. It's chain design looks so much nicer than the traditional choke chain design and it weighs a lot less, so it is easier on you dog. It is also very good at staying up on the neck behind the ears where a choke chain does the most good. the regular chains are heavy and continually slide down the neck. It is also nice enough to use in the show ring.

It’s too stiff to put the chain through, so you can use it on a show lead

Very good !!

This did me just fine as I needed extra choke chains for dog classes, etc. I wouldn't use them for a dog show, but they a great for walks, etc.
