On use
the makers are explicit that this should be used responsibly and ideally under the guidance of a qualified dog trainer, and that it should never be left on a dog unattended — it isn't designed as an everyday collar.
Why we chose it
We stock it because some owners are specifically told by a trainer to use one, not because we'd recommend it as a first option. Chrome-plated welded links are the quality marker to look for in this category, and this has both.

Full description
A check chain is a training tool with a specific, narrow use, and the "extra heavy" in the name refers to the chain's own weight rather than the size of dog it's meant for — worth knowing before assuming heavier automatically means bigger dog.
It's made from chrome-plated mild steel with welded links. The makers are explicit that it's intended as a training aid and should be used responsibly, ideally under the guidance of a qualified dog trainer.
