Dog collars come in a variety of colors, styles and even
functions. There's the obedience or choke collar, bark control
collars, flea collars, and a whole array of just dog collars.
So which to choose?
If barking is an issue perhaps a bark control collar will do
the trick. Bark control collars use two types of bark
detection, either external sound or vibrations from the dogs
throat. Neither type is totally infallible; the vibration type
can be set off by motion and the sound type by external sounds
other than the dog barking. However both have proved to be
effective in helping control your dogs barking humanely. The
best collars employ both methods at the same time to reduce the
‘false' readings and help bring barking under control.
But once your dog has stopped barking what do you need to
consider in a dog collar?
One of the essentials of a dog collar is to make sure that it's
personalized and has the dogs name and your contact details
engraved somewhere on the collar or on a tag. This will make it
easy for someone to get in touch with you if your dog gets
lost. It can also help keep your dog calm in what can be a
distressing situation. While your dog may be amongst strangers,
they will know his name from his collar and he'll feel less
threatened if called by name.
Leather makes an excellent dog collar. It is very strong, hard
wearing, weather proof and comfortable for your dog. There are
flat collars for dogs with shorter hair, and rounded collars
for longer haired dogs. This is to stop breaking the hair
around your dog's neck. Try and keep the dog collar as thin as
you can while maintaining the strength for your dog's
comfort.
Finally pick a dog collar that suits your dog's personality and
size. After all it is part of your dog's image!
