Great but on the heavy side By Whiskey's owner from Arlington, VA on 08/11/2008 Describe Yourself: Long-Time Pet Owner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great collar for those of you who want to try a martingale-style collar (one that cinches in slightly when the dog pulls if attached to a specific ring - this is extremely helpful for a dog that tries to pull out of his/her collar and for one who can slip out of a regular collar for having a slender head. Note - the collar stays slack and loose when not in use on a leash)
Anyhow, this is a neat collar - love that my medum dog (a slender husky) gets the comfort of the wider collar for his size - that is really great. I also like the sound effect of the chain - you can give a little correction to catch his attention with the chain's jingle.
The only thing I don't like is that the chain seems heavier than it needs to be - I doubt my dog could break a chain of a slightly lesser gauge, so I wonder if it's weight is necessary. If your dog has neck or back troubles, I'd stay away from this collar and go with a traditional martingale and really work with your dog on instantly recognizing a specific voice cue to get his attention.
Good luck!
By hounddogger from MO on 07/24/2008 Pros: Durable, Easily Cleaned, Good Construction Describe Yourself: Long-Time Pet Owner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This collar is perfect for dogs that have smaller heads than necks, because the design prevents them from backing out of their collar! I've had the same collar on my dogs for over 4 years and haven't had to replace them. I can't believe Ruff Wear discontinued this collar!
