Slip & Clip 2.25mm Easy-On Herm Sprenger Prong Collar
The Slip & Clip 2.25mm Prong Collar combines the quality of a Herm Sprenger prong collar with an innovative easy-on design developed by professional dog trainer Jason Lake.
Traditional prong collars require the handler to separate individual links each time the collar is put on or removed. The Slip & Clip design provides a much simpler alternative: open the collar, slip it over your dog's head, position it properly, and attach your leash to the two rings.
No squeezing individual prong links apart.
Slip it on. Position it. Clip your leash. Start training.
Why We Use Herm Sprenger Prong Collars
Slip & Clip collars are built using Herm Sprenger prong collars. Herm Sprenger is a German manufacturer known in the dog-training community for producing durable, precision-made training equipment.
The 2.25mm Slip & Clip takes a quality Herm Sprenger collar and incorporates our easy-on configuration, giving handlers a simpler way to put the collar on and remove it without repeatedly opening individual links.
What Is a 2.25mm Prong Collar?
A 2.25mm prong collar, sometimes called a pinch collar, uses smaller links than a 3.25mm collar. This provides handlers with another sizing option when selecting a collar for an individual dog's neck size, coat and training needs.
Like other prong collars, the design uses multiple contact points around the dog's neck rather than concentrating leash pressure at a single location. Proper sizing, positioning and handling are important whenever this type of training equipment is used.
A prong collar is a training aid—not a replacement for training. The handler should still teach, reinforce and reward the behaviors they want from the dog.
Prong Collars and Common Misconceptions
Prong collars are often judged by their appearance alone. In practice, any dog-training tool should be evaluated based on how it is fitted, how it is handled, the individual dog, and the training technique being used.
Flat collars, slip collars, martingales, harnesses and prong collars all interact with the dog differently. No single piece of equipment is appropriate for every dog or every situation.
The goal should always be responsible equipment selection combined with clear, consistent training.
The Slip & Clip Advantage
One of the biggest frustrations with a traditional prong collar is having to squeeze and separate individual links every time the collar is put on or taken off.
This can be difficult for handlers with reduced hand strength or dexterity and frustrating when working with an excited dog that is ready to start training.
The Slip & Clip 2.25mm Prong Collar was designed specifically to eliminate that step.

Designed by Professional Dog Trainer Jason Lake
The Slip & Clip mechanism was developed by professional dog trainer Jason Lake, who has more than 30 years of experience working with dogs and helping owners improve obedience, handling and communication.
Jason did not invent the traditional prong collar. He developed the Slip & Clip configuration to address a practical problem: many handlers have difficulty opening and reconnecting individual prong links.
The result is an easy-on prong collar that slips over the dog's head while preserving the familiar function of a traditional prong collar.

Is the 2.25mm Slip & Clip Right for Your Dog?
The 2.25mm Slip & Clip provides a smaller-link option for dogs and handlers who prefer the 2.25mm configuration. The correct collar should be selected based on the individual dog's measurements, coat, training needs and proper fit—not simply by breed.
Appropriately sized prong collars may be used with many different breeds, including German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Belgian Malinois, German Shorthaired Pointers, Cane Corsos, Collies and other breeds, depending on the individual dog's size and requirements.
