A fixed ring serves for leash fastening and a loose ring slides and tightens the collar around the dog's neck if it disobeys. The loop is loosen when the dog steps back.
Choose a choker of round leather or a chain with long links that is called a fur saver for the dog with long hair. Short-haired dogs can wear usual leather choke collars and chains with small links. Chokers are also used for dogs with long faces when a classic collar can slip off its neck through the head.
Prong or pinch collar is intended for strict training and behavior correction of large dogs. A collar has prongs inside, which press on the dog's neck under the collar tension like mother-dog teeth. The action of pinch collar is based on natural instincts and such collars are harmless at proper use.
The prongs of high-quality pinch collars aren't sharp to avoid dog's neck traumatizing. The prongs don't act when the collar isn't tightened. Pinch collars with long prongs are suitable for long-haired dogs not to damage their fur. Pinch collars with short prongs and special neck tech collars are for dogs with short hair.
