periau Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi guys what is the best brand of puppy collar to get? Rolled? Flat?Buckle? Nylon? Leather> Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi periau, Depends on what you are wanting the collar to do. If it is just to tell puppies apart or identify you could use small nylon or cotton collars, but if you are starting to lead train you could use a variety of different ones including half martingales. What breed of dog and how old would be a good starting point.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a life time warranty on the leads and collars, from what I remember of setters, they do love to chew.. The hardware is outstanding and they are adjustable.

TerraNik Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 We use breakaway collars because I don't like taking the risk of the pups getting strangle if they catch their collar on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of a martingale used on a pup. Is this common practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I generally use flat rogz collars cause I cant find lupine where I live , lupine are brilliant however! I dont like to leave the collar on the pup however when I am out, he is crated so there is no issue of him getting out and running off, but he could hurt himself with it left on.

Anna H Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 We use breakaway collars because I don't like taking the risk of the pups getting strangle if they catch their collar on something. I'm using one of these on Ollie (our 15 week pup) at the moment, for the same reason. I've had Ollie for just over a week - and come home to find him missing a collar twice so far. Once the collar was hooked in the fence, the other time in the middle of the lawn (I assume my two had been playing) so for all I know, the collar could have already saved his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I use martingales from the time they fit into them, but mind you I only put them on when they are supervised at that young age, ie when we are lead training, or on the table for grooming.

Jedi has been without his collar once when we came home. Like you, I am glad I made the choice to get a breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
