Easy To Use & Immediate Results
I purchased this collar for training my 6 month old Golden Retriever/Australian Cattle Dog mix.
Naturally a 6 month old has energy to spare and my dog is a strong puller. We had tried traditional collars as well as other specialty training collars with no positive results. We enrolled her in a Beginners Obedience Class and our trainer turned us on to the Triple Crown collar.
Immediately after putting it on our dog there was a difference in her behavior. She stopped pulling and began to respond to her training. When she begins to pull we give a slight jerk on her leash and she stops.
This collar beats the traditional choke chain and is easier for the beginner to use than the choke chain.
I found that the collar was easy to adjust and you can purchase extra links to compensate for your dog's growth.
The only downside is that there are no training instructions to accompany the collar.

Works great; gentle correction safe for puppy
We used this on our full-of-energy Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (4 months) to train her to walk on a leash without pulling (or stopping). It works great, she's very responsive, and it's very gentle. I put the collar around my bare calf and tugged as hard as I could on the leash, and can personally testify that the discomfort is minor - no piercing of the skin at all. more like a tight grip with fingertips. Highly recommended.

[[Update]] - As our puppy grew, the pressure she could put on the links by pulling increased dramatically. Also, the method of opening the collar to let her out, namely disconnecting two adjacent links, started to wear down the plastic nubs holding the links together. Eventually the links started to pop open when she pulled on the collar, which led us to purchase a metal prong collar instead.

Missleading but seems like it should work
The 15" collar is actually only 14" (including the string) around the OUTSIDE.
It is 11.5" if you measure the INSIDE (because of the spikes).
So if you measure your dog's neck, and it's 14", do NOT buy the 15" Collar for him without the extensions.
The extension, is a 3" extension .
This makes the 15" collar (which is actually 11.5") into a 17" collar on the outside, and a 14" collar on the INSIDE.
Since my dog's neck is 14" there is no "pull room". The collar is snug on his neck.
I need to buy ANOTHER Extension to make it loose enough to give a good tug, or to put it over his head without pushing and shoving, and fearing scratching his eyes out.

I know it says "do not attempt to slide over dog's head", but to link, and unlink these is hard to do. They need to make it easier to snap it on your dog, by having one link a Carabineer, or something. When your dog is moving around, getting the correct angle to un-snap those links is almost impossible. It also would need to be a bit longer to have the play you need to bend the joints.
It IS also Plastic, and seems like it would wear down after a few months of daily snapping, and bending.
It seems strong enough when it's new, but I now have to wait for more extensions. :(
I give it 3 stars because the measurements are misleading.

-added later --

This collar is now our only collar we use. We had a leather collar, but he can slip out of it. The teeth on this catch his jaw, and he can not slip out of it. That is a good thing. But... It doesn't have the effect it's sold for. The dog still pulls like crazy when we walk him. I don't think the plastic teeth even phase him.
The rope part should be longer, so you can get a good pull on collar. that may make it so it has more of an effect.

He also realized if he pulls hard enough the links will pop, and he's FREE.

We use this in combo with the remote shock collar, and are happy. He can't slip out of this, and the remote keeps him in line.
But this collar does NOT stop him from pulling.
