Ancol Chain Dog Collars - Extra Heavy - 65cm

This 65cm (26-inch) extra heavy check chain is specifically designed for larger breeds that exert significant pulling force. Its suitability depends on the individual dog's neck size and temperament. Always measure your dog's neck and consider their training needs.

A check chain should be used with gentle, firm corrections during training. It should be fitted high on the neck, behind the ears. The collar tightens when the dog pulls and loosens when they respond. Improper or harsh use can cause harm.

While it provides control, it's primarily recommended as a training aid or for situations where extra control is needed. For everyday wear, a flat collar or harness might be more comfortable for the dog, depending on their behavior.

The 'extra heavy' designation typically refers to thicker, stronger links and a more robust overall construction compared to a standard 'heavyweight' chain, offering greater durability for very strong dogs.

Wipe the collar with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Dry it thoroughly afterwards to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

The 65cm (26-inch) collar is suitable for larger breeds. It's best to measure your dog's neck and ensure it falls within the appropriate range for this size, allowing for the high neck fit.

Adjust the collar by sliding the end through the ring. Ensure it sits high on the neck and allows for a one-finger gap when relaxed. Consult fitting guides for precise measurements.

Ensure the collar is correctly fitted and only used with positive reinforcement training methods. If discomfort persists, the collar may not be suitable, or professional guidance is needed.

Ensure the chain is dried thoroughly after any contact with water or cleaning. Store in a dry place. Minor rust can sometimes be buffed off with a soft cloth.
