How about for a very fluffy Malamute? are the prongs long enough.

I have a labradoodle and he gets fluffy - I think the prongs are long - they are about the same as an invisible fence collar.

It came with two different lenghts of prongs. I think the longer ones would work well.

Groovypets Remote Control Dog Training Collar Is a piece of junk, a rip off. Don't worry about the prongs being long enough for your Malamute, worry about it working and the prongs falling off.Just don't waste your money on junk and aggregation.

Yes it would be too big. Even if you cut excess plastic collar, the receiver would still be too clunky on so small a dog.

Yes, it is long. My maltipoo is only 8 pounds and he has more than enough room. He is sleeping in it right now.

I didn't use them specifically for that, but you could certainly try it. I would give your dog two instead of one, and give them at least half an hour before the noise starts.

Yes, one is the lowest (conversely 7 is the highest) also, make sure that you adjust the prongs so that they actually make contact with skin, not just fur (we have a border collie who we thought was impenetrable until we realized it was only hitting fur).

Yes, it should. It's a tad bulky where the unit with the prongs is located but it is not heavy. You will probably have to add a couple of notch holes because it will not fit your dogs neck with the existing holes. No big deal. Just drive a nail through with a hammer and make sure the prongs are in contact with your dogs neck. Not too tight. Just enough to know they'll feel the pulse when they bark. Remember not to leave it on over 12 hrs and make sure you shut it off when you remove it so the battery won't wear down. You can control the intensity of the pulse they get when they bark which is helpful depending on how well your pooch responds to the lower levels. If they still bark, pick it up another level and check once more that the collar has good contact with the neck area. It definitely does work.

You'll need to order extra prongs. Herm Sprenger only makes this in one size.

You can buy additional prongs. Here is the Amazon number for the Chrome 3 mm prongs that go with this collar: B0006L2PD8 Each prong is about 1 inch long.

It did not work with my German Shepherd. I did not want to shave the hair for the prongs to work, as her fur would not grow back well since she has a double coat. You would need to buy the longer contact points separately, but I ended up selling the collar to a friend.

My Great Dane has a long snout, and he wasn't able to reach his hind end or his stomach. The ProCollar is thick and wide, so my dog couldn't reach anything but actually liked resting his head on the collar as a pillow. Make sure you follow the instructions and weave your doberman's regular collar inside the loops of the ProCollar to get a secure fit. Also get the correct size.

The prongs are more than long enough for our pit bull. Amazing response on minimal setting - he learned his limits within minutes. It may take a slightly higher setting than we use to compensate for the extra hair. No problems at all - love the system!

I have a pug and it works on her just fine. It doesn't matter how long their legs are, nothing needs to fit the length of the leg. It all goes under the arm and it depends on how tight you keep it.

You can get very small collars for small dogs. Larger dogs can use the regular size, and they come with short and long prongs depending on the dogs fur depth.

About two an half feet. Sorry, it's in storage and I'm going by memory. We have two big Alaskan Malamutes and they fit just fine. A Great Dane would have to duck to go in, but once in, they would be fine.

Sorry no suggestions...I bought this product to keep my miniature weiner dog in the yard. Needless to say I don't have to worry about her pulling anything down or getting bigger.

Hello jschick,I think this would definitely work on your dog. The prongs on the collar are a decent length, and seem to reach through long fur just fine. However, if the shorter ones just aren't working for you, this actually comes with another set of longer prongs.

I would think so. My puppy has outgrown it, but I don't remember it being that long. It would be worth it even if you have to tie a knot at the top.
