Durable check chain collars designed for training and control. Choose the right size and fit for safe and effective use.
Check Chain Collars for Dog Training & Control
Check chains, also known as slip collars or training chains are designed to help train dogs that pull or need clearer leash cues. Made from strong, rust-resistant metal, these collars are used to gently correct behaviour during walks or training sessions. When fitted and used correctly, check chain collars can offer more control, especially for large or strong dogs.
Key features of check chains:
- Effective Training Tool – Helps communicate leash pressure and boundaries during obedience training.
- Durable Metal Links – Strong and rust-resistant for long-lasting use.
- Multiple Sizes – Choose the correct length to ensure a safe and comfortable fit for your dog.
- Smooth Slip Action – Provides instant feedback without snagging or tightening excessively.
At The Vet Shed, we recommend check chains be used under guidance or after proper research to ensure safe and humane training. These collars are most commonly used for strong, working breeds or dogs undergoing professional obedience training. Always choose a chain that’s long enough to comfortably sit high on the dog’s neck without pulling too tight.
FAQs About Check Chain Dog Collars
What is a check chain collar used for?
Check chains are used in dog training to provide gentle correction through leash pressure. They help teach dogs not to pull and improve leash responsiveness.
Are check chains safe?
Yes, when fitted and used properly. They should never be yanked or used harshly. The collar should sit high on the neck and be loose when your dog walks calmly.
What size check chain should I get?
Measure around the top of your dog’s neck and add 5–7 cm. The chain should easily slip over the head but not hang too low or sit too tight.
Are check chains suitable for all dogs?
Check chains are best for strong, large breeds or dogs in structured training programs. They are not recommended for puppies or small breeds.
How do I use a check chain correctly?
The chain should form a ‘P’ shape when placed over the head (when the dog is on your left). Always use gentle, brief corrections never constant pressure or jerking.
