My boy is a real escape artist, and I mean real - Julius K9, loads that people have recommended as being for 'Houdini dogs'. He also chews through leashes, including a beautiful, very expensive leather and brass….which he neatly chewed into 8 inch lengths when I was foolish enough to leave it below 6 feet up....the only thing I trust my boy to be tethered in is his current harness - a Ruffwear Webmaster. For walking, yes, a martingale (and oddly enough, Butu has never worked the trick when slack), but I'd definitely not trust him tethered. I'd get him one of these, and probably a chain and trust him in an open stall where he can see you and you can chat....I'd make the chain long enough that he could stand in the entrance, but could go inside the stall if he wants a sleep, drink, food from his bowls....do not let him near tack, horses feeding stuff, horse's anything - and I'd be cautious about hay too.... Chealsie508 - have you tried these (Ruffwear Webmaster?) If this hadn't worked I was going for a Ruffwear Doubleback, which costs a serious amount of money (but when I think of the number of useless harnesses I've bought..) but is the nearest thing I've seen to a doggie straitjacket - it's used by those people who drag labradors rock climbing....

Leather Martingale??
-
Looking for a leather martingale collar for Dexter. I've went through all of the previous threads regarding this but haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to find a leather martingale that is imprinted with some type of pattern (tribal/african pattern) that fits the Basenji look! I know I've seen a few before in the photos section! Any suggestions??

I've never actually seen a leather collar with a tribal pattern. I have 3 that are cross hatched hand tooled patterns - all three are different. I posted pics in the thread in the link below - back when I originally purchased them. Sadly 2 of them need repair as my brother wasn't watching Brando and he managed to chew 2 of them - luckily only the adjustable part and not the patterned part. Anyway, don't know if these are the style you are talking about.

Im liking both of these lovely leather sites, thanks for the info…

Loving both of these, thanks so much!

They look really nice. I wonder how they compare to the fabric ones, as far as not cutting the fur & are the chain attachments really strong & do they last?
