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....

Hemp martingale collar
-
I just got this Martingale style hemp collar from Earth Dog. It's very soft yet tough. It's a good everyday collar that's supposed to be hypoallergenic. The nylon collar bothers Buddy. The collar is washable too.

Handsome collar…if he chews it, will it mellow him out?

I doubt it, he'll just get the munchies.

What a pretty collar. I like it lots….
-
They have a lot of different ones.

If you decide you don't like it, you can smoke it, haha!
Actually, I love the idea of using hemp, it is very renewable for everything from rope to fabric to paper. -

Welcome! I like the collar, it's 1" wide. It's not bulky and heavy on the Bs neck.

Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Hey, Mr. Nobarkus…which size did you get for Buddy? I'm thinking about getting one for AJ...I like the Seamus-1...Think it would look handsome on AJ. Thx.

We'll want pics of AJ modeling the new collar.:D

Yes, sir…

Just ordered one for Bella. Unfortunately, my wife insisted on the orange one with flowers on it.
This will be a good test of durability. So far, she's yet to keep a collor for more than a month without eating it (even the rolled leather ones).

Love those collars - I think I'll be ordering a couple for my B's since they have a nice array of choices.

No collar is Basenji chew proof unless it's a steel choker.

All Hounds Apparel is great if you have a collar chewer because they replace their collars for life even if chewed. All you have to do is mail back the hardware and she will send a replacement. I bought one and within a week my boy dog pulled it off the hook and chewed it. I put the hardware in an envelope with some of the pieces and sent it back to her. The next week I had a new one.

Those Basenji folks are cutting into our profits!
So far Buddy's collar is holding up. Same with Lupine, I returned a leash and they sent a new one immediately back.
