FAQs

What is the correct length for my dog?

The 60cm chain is suitable for dogs with neck circumferences up to approximately 45-50cm. It should be fitted so that it is loose when the dog is relaxed but tightens with gentle pressure. Consult a professional if unsure about sizing.

Is this chain suitable for puppies?

This is an 'Extra Heavy' duty chain and is generally recommended for adult dogs, particularly those that are strong pullers. It may be too heavy or harsh for puppies, who often require more gentle training methods.

How often should I clean the chain?

It is recommended to clean the chain after each use by wiping it with a damp cloth and drying it thoroughly. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically as needed.

Can this chain be used with a harness?

While primarily designed for neck control, the chain can be attached to a lead which is then attached to a harness. However, its effectiveness in providing immediate feedback is maximized when used directly around the neck.

What material is the chain made from?

The chain is manufactured from mild steel with a high-quality chrome plating.

Are there other sizes available?

Yes, Ancol offers a range of chain dog collars, and this model may be available in different lengths. Please check the product listing or Ancol's range for other options.

Troubleshooting

Chain appears to be rusting or losing its shine.

Ensure the chain is dried thoroughly after each use and cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Links seem stiff or difficult to slide.

Clean the chain thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering movement. Apply a small amount of metal-friendly lubricant if necessary, ensuring it is safe for animal contact.

Trigger clip is difficult to open or close.

Check the trigger clip for dirt or debris and clean it. If the issue persists, the clip mechanism may be damaged and require replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.
  • Secure welded links enhance safety.
  • Provides reliable control for strong dogs.
  • Chrome plating offers a clean aesthetic and corrosion resistance.

Cons

  • Requires proper fitting and training for safe use.
  • Check chains may not be suitable for all dogs, especially puppies or sensitive breeds.
  • Can cause discomfort or injury if used incorrectly.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To attach the chain, slide one end of the chain through the loop of the other, forming a slip lead. Attach the trigger clip to your dog's collar or harness. Ensure the chain is fitted correctly around the dog's neck, with the rings positioned to allow for proper tensioning without being too loose or too tight. When properly fitted, there should be enough slack for the chain to hang loosely when the dog is relaxed, but tighten immediately when gentle pressure is applied.

Compatibility: This chain is designed to be used as a lead attachment. It is compatible with standard dog leads that have a trigger clip. While it can be used with a harness, its primary function is neck control, so direct attachment to a collar is more common.

Care: Clean the chain regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust or damage to the chrome plating. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically inspect the welded links for any signs of wear or damage.
