Recommendations for collar, leash?

    I just bought one Saturday from this site. Many designs, sizes and collars are lined.

    I always buy Lupine because Malu has a tendency to like to chew on his leads and collars. They replace everything for free even if chewed. If you find a local store that sells them you can just walk in and exchange. They're clip is more like a Carabiner so its much easier to operate and it doesn't get jammed up with sand and dirt.

    They are good collars and I have gotten a leash replacement but the nylon irritates Buddy's neck. Right now he's wearing a hemp collar which seems to be better. I just ordered a collar from 2 Hounds that's lined with cuddle satin.

    Which design did you choose on the new collar?

    The Hot Rod. Shown is the 1-1/2 and 2" with the border. I got the 1" wide which does not have the borders.

    I really liked this one too but thought I would buy one and see how it goes.

    I had Malu in an "earth dog" hemp martingale. One day I removed the collar I accidentally left it within his reach. Turns out that he must like hemp because he ate eveything but the D rings. Usually he'll just chew on/tear up things but with the Hemp he actually ingested it. Luckily, it worked its way out.

    The Lupine harness is sturdy and works really well but when they are new, there have sharp edges (from where the threads are sewn), which irritates the skin. So I just used a nail file to smooth the sharp edges/corners.

    I use a harness with a lead but Cosmo also has a soft martingale collar with a phone number stitched on it. :)

    Oh, oh, oh! I have to recommend Collarmania (http://www.collarmania.com). Going to order some for the pups when the youngest get older. :) I've had a few collars from them before, and loved them!

    I bought a collar similar to what Nobarkus pictured –- however, I found the buckles were too heavy for my little girl. They dragged the collar down (yes it was fitted correctly) and when clipped to a leash they caused the collar to twist because of the weight. Pretty though.

    Question…..Why do 'hounds' have the nice hound collar? You know which one I am talking about? The one that is thicker around the front of the neck and then thinner around the back? What is the benefit and why only for hounds...?

    Don't turn your head - he wants to smoke that collar. :)

    I just bought Buddy a solid red hemp collar in March. One washing and it turned pink. So I emailed a pic to Earth Dog. They responded quite quickly and said their newer collars have a better dye and will be sending me a free replacement.

    We use beautiful martingales from the dutch site www.halsbanden.com - maybe she ships to the US….
    The leash we use is what is called in Holland a police leash, with fasteners on both sides:

    When I want my 2 B's close, I can use one leash.

    martingales- only thing I can use that my boy wont slip out of…that, and if you are used to a choke, this is considered a choke with safety. I am not a fan of collars on all the time due to possible strangulation (i crate my boy)....so I feel the need to put a disclaimer that a martingale does have a "loop on the collar that may catch on something

    @OchiJE: Only problem, is when she's done playing fetch, she likes to tear them to pieces. Or you could just intervene and remove the toy once she is bored with "fetch". My boy was trained this way (I can't take the credit, his breeder had him for his first three years and she teaches all her Basenjis which toys are "chewable" and which are off limits!). He does not destroy toys, even though I do not put them out of reach. I wouldn't expect a confirmed toy destuffer to change his or her ways, but it can be taught if started early. Otherwise, strict supervision can extend the life of toys, and also increase their "worth" as a reward. Restricted access makes them much more attractive! Here is Perry with two of his "original" toys he has had for seven plus years, and a new one recently acquired. [image: 01perrybirthday2013.jpg]

    Mine are naked in the house, but they are older and not inclined to leave, even if a gate is left open. We wear Nick Russell Safety-choke, similar in theory to martingale in that it snugs up when the dog pulls. We walk in harnesses, it is safer for their old necks and spines.

    We have used 6 ft leather leads with braided ends, which were nice. Also have used nylon leads from regular stores, but they are too slippery for me and the handle/loops weren't that big for hubby's hands. So now we use Lupine leads that I have bought from vet offices or online. The handle/loops are large and padded and we like the clip end. And the feature we have had to use already that we like best: they're guaranteed even if they're chewed! Just send the leash back (don't even need the receipt) and they send you a new one. They try to even send back one in the same pattern if possible. The website also has collars, etc.

    Nick is very nice , he does this in his spare time , so if there is a delay in communication he is probably out on his hog . and will get back to you . the collars are excellent quality.
