There are some words about curogan the collar is made of.

This is a copper-tin-alloy containing a great amount of copper as well as some other additive agents which considerably harden the material thus making it alike steel in property and composition. Curogan does not contain nickel, therefore, it is ideally suited to dogs with fair hair (nickel may cause hair depigmentation) and aggressive dogs who suffer from allergic reactions to nickel (nickel may promote skin rash).

Pinch collar. As a rule pinch collars are made of metallic or wire links and have a short chain with a ring at the end where you should attach a lead to. Professional dog trainers highly recommend using just these dog collars in order to turn the trick. Pinch collars are often named as dentated ones but despite their horrendous appearance, history of dog breeding has never known the accidents connected with traumatizing by the collar when applying.
