Jaan,

Unfortunatly my mod I dont think will help you as it doesn't change the end at the fastener part but rather allows the collar to open wider thus not needing as much pressure upon the dogs neck to get the probes to reach the dogs neck consistantly. Due to the collar being so stiff when I would get it tight enough to work consistantly on my GSD it was restricting breathing so I cut the pieces away where the collar screws to the unit so that it will open wider making the prongs protrude longer thus making more consistant contact without putting to much pressure on the dogs neck. The collar is getting repaired at the moment other wise I'd post a picture for you but cant right now. WHen I get it back I will try to remember to do so.

If I had my way the collar would have two sets of contacts with a strongger piece of collar to hold it around the back of the neck (so reciever sat directly at the back of the dogs neck and each set of contacts sat at 90 and 270 degrees upon the dogs neck) and then the bottom part of the collar was elastic that created a loop with a simple adjustment that could simply be pulled tight for each dog. Like a kids bike helmut strap but made of elastic and no clip as it would allow the dog to breath easy as it would allow plenty of movement. The two sets of contacts means a vastly reduced chance of inconsistant contact.

Mick.
