Quick Latch DetailMedium Link Perspective




Medium (3.25 mm) fits necks up to 18-19".

A strong, durable training collar distributes pressure evenly and features a French snap for quick release with one hand. When worn under supervision, makes a great training tool for teaching heel, sit, stay, whoa, etc. Proper fit is achieved by adding or removing links. Just snap them in or out.

We prefer the steel "pinch" type dog training collars to choke chains as we have found their use to result in easier and faster training for both the dog and the trainer. We suggest that teaching "heel" is a good place to start with the pinch collar.

First, adjust the collar by removing links or adding lengths to get a "good" fit - a fit where the dog will be comfortable when he is in the proper position but will become uncomfortable when he gets out of position. If the dog is wearing a regular collar, place the pinch collar in front of the regular collar and check frequently to be sure the pinch collar is not hanging up on the regular collar. We suggest keeping the pinch collar low on the dog's neck and walking at a slow but steady pace the first few sessions using a large (25' - 30') circular, figure 8, or box pattern. After several sessions, you should be able to progress to a varied pace, and quicker and sharper turns and stops. Placing the pinch collar higher on the dog's neck usually causes more discomfort and a better response in dogs that have not responded after several sessions. Also, a collar with smaller diameter prongs will usually elicit a better response for dogs that have been slow in responding.

We have found the pinch collar to be especially useful in teaching "heel", "sit", "whoa", "stay", and "here". Our own view is that choke chains and pinch collars should not be used on pups under six months of age. These collars should only be during training sessions and should NEVER be left on unattended dogs.

Good Quality!
April 10, 2024
We first ordered this type of collar via an Amazon seller and it was poor quality with no durability. This collar is good quality and works really well with our German Short-Haired Pointer. We've ordered several items from Gun Dog and are always impressed with the quality of their products.
Pros
  • High quality and durable. Great for large agile breeds!
Cons
  • Didn't realize we could use a safety clip to the dog collar, in case the pinch collar slips off.

This collar was recommended by a dog trainer friend. He also recommended I purchase it from this site.
I will definitely shop here again.
Pros

  • Seems well made.

We purchased the above collar after trying it from one borrowed from another of your customers. Our male rescued standard poodle who chases rabbits and pulls a lot has definitely et his match with the new small sized pinch collar. The collar has made walking him a lot easier.

OmniPet Quick Release Pinch
April 20, 2023
This is an efficient way to remove the collar from one's dog. However, the pinch mechanism is a bit stiff, and must be positioned properly in order to engage---not difficult at all.
Overall, much faster than unbuckling a collar or using plastic pinchers. Plastic can really stiffen in cold weather, usually resulting in having to wait until one's hands and the plastic have sufficiently warmed inside for the collar to be removed.
Pros
  • Fast, strong, maintains the collar strength
Cons
  • Pinch a bit tight and proper positioning required

Great control and ease of use
March 8, 2023
I tried the official Sprenger collar before buying this one and I am very happy that I switched. The quick release makes this so much easier to get on and off my dog instead of having to pull the prongs apart to remove it. I have a 75 lb very heavy puller and with this collar on he is a dream walker. It's great quality and I highly recommend it.
Pros
  • Easy to put on and take off
  • Great quality
Cons
  • None

I help a dog trainer who has over 30 yrs of training experience. This is the type and size of collar he prefers used on any size dog he is training. I assist with finding collars he finds acceptable and he is very happy with the OmniPet brand! Class members love the quick release feature on these collars!

I have had to move to OmniPet pinch collars because hermen sprenger collars have become very hard to get. The OmniPet pinch collars work ok they just are not as smooth as HS's. The chrome coating will rust very quickly. Luckly we are pretty dry here in New Mexico.

Perfect pinch collar
August 25, 2021
I love buying from an American company!! This pinch collar is exactly what you need- quick release is fantastic for people with limited grip strength. Some dogs need the old-school design-which is harder to put on and off the dog. I have purchased both from GunDogSupply and am happy across the board! Quick shipping, easy site, secure purchasing- tickled dog trainer here.
Pros
  • Perfect thickness of steel 3.25mm
  • Easy release
  • Makes a responsive dog
Cons
  • Takes some skill to assemble on a wiggling or uncooperative dog.

Just what I was looking for
May 29, 2021
My dog is an English Pointer/Pit mix and he is quite the puller, I've tried other prong collars on him and to fit his big neck the prongs were too big to be effective. This collar is big enough for his neck and also has smaller prongs that provide a better correction. The quick release function makes taking it off and putting it on super easy. Highly recommend this collar!

We have use this collar for walking our Silver Lab puppy, Echo, who is 8 months old. Works great to help her learn not to pull and what it means to heal when walking. It was easy to remove a couple links so that it fit great and we can add them back as she grows. Great quality at a great price! Thank you!
Pros
  • Ease of use, price, quality

I adopted a boxer mix puppy in December. She had been abandoned and lived at a nearby kennel for 3 months. She is quite strong and the collar has helped me be able to help teach her to walk with me and my other dog. When I had a question about using the release, I got an answer very quickly. Thank you.

Very high quality pinch collar
December 20, 2020
I love the OmniPet Quick Release Steel Pinch Collar. It is very high quality and works like magic training my 1 year old Lab to walk properly on a lead. I had another brand before and this one is much, much better.
Pros
  • High quality. Stong and sturdy. Easy quick release.

Works Great as a Training Tool
September 4, 2020
This collar works great as long as you know how to use it - and it is not hard to learn. The rounded prongs give just enough pressure to let a dog know to stop and you can then train them to look up at you for direction. The quick release makes it much easier to take on & off than other prong collars and the steel construction makes it less likely for the prongs to bend or break and the dog to get free.
Pros
  • Steel construction
  • Rounded prongs
  • Quick Release
  • D Ring so the leash can swivel with the dog
  • Chain links that give the collar flexibility to lessen and increase pressure
Cons
  • Wish the quick release was easier to use, but once you know how to use, it works fine.

For those dogs who need a little more direction, especially when walking on lead, this pinch collar works perfectly and the quick release action makes it a dream to put on and take off.

These collars run large. I bought this collar for a dog that normally wears a medium. The nice thing is that the prongs are shorter than the normal medium collar, though they still look huge on my medium sized dog!

Review for OmniPet Quick Release Steel Pinch Collar - LARGE #162QL
January 4, 2016
For a rescue dog. Was starved, and hair falling out from horrible infestation with intestinal worms. Literally lost 5 lbs when we dewormed him, which is pretty gross if you think about it. Anemic enough that the vet wanted to give him a blood transfusion. Pretty stout dog, despite the neglect. Unfamiliar with the concept of walking on a leash. Regular collar or harness would have been okay if I wanted him to tow a VW, not so much for me to calmly walk beside him. Pinch collar was easy to adjust. French snap quick release is just the ticket. Far superior to the slip it over his head type. Works well, and easy to correct him when he gets a bit excited.

August 19, 2015
Although this collar is labeled as small, it is on my medium large dog. The x-small is definitely sized right, but the other collars seem to run large and are heavy. This might be okay for an actual working dog, but I am using it on a working breed who was breed as a show dog.

Was having trouble walking my one year old
Chocolate lab because of pulling and jumping.
This collar has done wonders in quieting
Charlie down. We still have some work to do,
But he is doing much better.

My dog is what I would call a hard dog. I put the collar on him and on the third day he said let there be light. I would have saved myself a lot of time had I used this collar long ago. streak241

Ordered a medium. Had to remove 5 links. The quick release part is very stiff. I am hoping it gets easier with use. It is a strong collar and is doing as it is suppose to. I use it on both dogs.
