MICRO-PLUS Prong Training Collar - Center-Plate, Dead Ring, Assembly Chain, Stainless Steel (1.5 mm)

The MICRO-PLUS is a prong-style training collar sized for smaller breeds, with a fine 1.5 mm wire gauge and center-plate for even communication on small necks. This version uses a dead ring - a fixed attachment that does not tighten - with an assembly chain, in stainless steel.

Why handlers choose it

The dead ring offers a fixed, non-tightening connection, which some handlers prefer for steady control. The slim 1.5 mm gauge is made for small dogs, and the collar adjusts by adding or removing links.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MICRO-PLUS for small dogs?
Yes - the fine 1.5 mm wire gauge and 13.5 in (35 cm) length are purpose-made for smaller breeds and small necks; it is the fine end of our range, the opposite of the 3.0 mm ULTRA-PLUS built for powerful dogs.

Why a 1.5 mm gauge - what does the fine wire do?
A finer wire sits correctly on a small neck and delivers precise, even communication scaled to a small dog, rather than the bulk of a thicker prong - paired, as always, with correct fit and training.

What is a dead ring?
A dead ring is a fixed attachment that does not engage the tightening action - it gives a steady, non-closing connection, which some handlers prefer for consistent, static control over a martingale tighten.

Does this collar tighten when the dog pulls?
Used on the dead ring it does not - the dead ring holds a set circumference rather than tightening martingale-style. That suits handlers who want steady, non-closing contact; for a limited tightening action, choose a live-ring MICRO-PLUS instead.

What does the center-plate do?
The center-plate links the prong sections at the front so the collar stays aligned and sits flat and stable around the neck, instead of bunching or rotating like a plain chain - giving more even, predictable pressure.

How should it fit and where does it sit?
A MICRO-PLUS should sit high on the neck, just behind the ears, snug enough that it can't slide down to the wider lower neck where it loses effect. Add or remove links for that fit, and introduce it under professional guidance.

Is a prong collar humane, and are the tips sharp?
The prong tips are smooth and rounded, not pointed - they apply even, distributed pressure around the neck rather than poking. Fitted correctly and paired with proper training it is a clear communication tool, not a punishment device; introduce it under professional guidance.

Can my dog wear it all day or on a tie-out?
No - a prong collar is a training tool for active, supervised sessions and should come off afterward. Never use it for tie-out or unsupervised wear; use a flat collar or harness for everyday and downtime.
