Dog collars: what you need to know

 

What is the best type of collar for dogs?


Getting the right dog collar for your dog is one of the most important things you can do for your dog. Your dog will probably spend most of his life in the collar, so getting a comfortable and sturdy dog ​​collar is essential. Fortunately for the more style conscious, modern designer dog collars can also be on trend. Finding the best type of dog collar for you will depend on your dog and what the collar's main use will be.


What is a dog collar for and is it essential?


The main use of a dog collar is probably the most obvious: to control your dog. Used in combination with a dog leash, a dog collar can provide you with some control to prevent your dog from drifting or drifting into traffic when walking. There are other uses for a dog collar, such as dog or puppy training. Additionally, you can incorporate your dog's identity and contact information within the dog collar, in case your dog gets lost.


It is important to choose the correct size of dog collar. Having a collar that is too small can cause harm to your dog and at best will leave him feeling uncomfortable. Similarly, having a collar that is too large will allow your dog to slip off easily. Also, the width and material of the collar should match the size of your dog or puppy. A sturdy leather collar will not be very good for a Chihuahua, and a lightweight nylon collar will not be good for a Rotweiller dog harness.


A good rule of thumb is to make sure that, in a large dog, you can slide two fingers between the throat and the dog's collar. Also make sure that the collar can be turned easily, but does not slip over the dog's ears. In smaller dogs, make sure the collar can rotate easily and does not cause any respiratory problems. Make sure it cannot go over the dog's ears. Remember that in the right situation, many dogs can turn into little Houdini in their own right.


There are many different types of dog collars available. There are sports necklaces, designer necklaces, custom necklaces. We will cover a few main types. These are the following.


Standard dog collar


Dog training collars


Electric dog collar or shock collar for dogs


Standard dog collar


The standard dog collar is what your dog would wear for everyday wear and it can come in a variety of materials. The most common these days is the nylon collar. These come in all kinds of colors and sizes. The main advantage of a nylon collar is its price. These necklaces are very inexpensive but provide excellent durability as they do not tend to rot and dry quickly when wet. Alternative types, like leather necklaces, tend to have a more aesthetic natural appeal. A good quality leather collar could easily last your dog's life. An extension of this are designer dog collars or fashion collars. These can extend to anything from a simple fashion pattern or a designer's name, to a rhinestone dog collar for more special occasions.


The dog collar you will wear the most should be comfortable for your dog and safe, although for lap dogs where the collar can be more of a fashion accessory, comfort is the priority. For larger dogs, a sturdy and sturdy collar is a must.


Dog training collar


A dog training collar is used, as the name suggests, mainly during training. The type of training will dictate the type of collar.


For obedience training, a choke collar or 'choke chain' would be most suitable. These collars are part of a sliding loop that tightens around the dog's neck if you pull too hard on the leash. When the dog stops pulling, the chain slackens. Many people consider the use of a choke collar unnecessary, but if used under the right circumstances, this type of collar can be an effective training aid. It is extremely important to wear a choke collar only when training and when supervising the dog. You should NEVER let your dog out with only a choke collar on. If the dog gets caught in something, it can easily drown.
