New collar and lead

[JES72]

Stanley needs a new collar and lead Hubby has found a red dingo one -dog-collar-plain-turquoise-dc-zz-tq. I think it looks thin - not padded and the lead is quite short. So I need to suggest an alternative one. Any suggestions.

I do like a leather collar myself, with a buckle. Unless he has siblings or dogs he plays with frequently, then a quick release fastening is important.
Lilly usually suited a narrower collar, but she had a shorter neck than some (like me).

I love Scrufts Collars but you need at least 2 since they are fabric

You should ask @SwampDonkey Queen of dog collars @JES72

Took the words out of my mouth!

@SwampDonkey gave Carbón the collar we still use.

He only has two - the other is a padded Wolters collar.

And then he has 67 bandanas to go over said collars.

The Red Dingo one looks nice. Sky used to have a leather collar. Red has a Ruffwear one which I really like. I attach a Halti lead to it

Harv only had red dingo collars, right from when he was a puppy. We really liked them and they soften with wear, but we never had one that frayed or broke. Never had to replace them, just moved up in size as he grew. Always in green. Green was his colour. We also had one of their super leads, which are adjustable and longer Multipurpose SuperLead Plain Green (SL-ZZ-GR) | Red Dingo UK

I really like the Red Dingo collars - they last and, most importantly, wash really well after fox poo rolls. I’m about to buy the next size up for Cassie. The leather one does look lovely though so if he never rolls, I’d be tempted by that one.

In my experience the leather ones also wash pretty well, just need to ensure they are occasionally "dubbined".

We like the Ruffwear collars. And more. Mainly we wear Ruffwear. I have double ended Grippy leads so I can use their collar and harness or head collar ( sadly ) and collar or harness. Love the Grippy leads (another thanks to @SwampDonkey for showing these).

I do like to see a nice leather collar, but not for us

 

[Jacqui-S]

Love the Grippy leads

Me too.

We have had the same Ruffwear lead for an eternity. It's one of the rope ones and is just fantastic quality.

Though now that you mention it maybe Chewie needs a new collar...

 

[HAH]

We don’t tend to use collars these days, just harnesses on walks - but the Dog Copenhagen collars are great - wash beautifully, never seem to wear, solid fixings, easy release clip and they do a padded version. And we use the double ended Halti training leads - they’re robust, lots of options for length and handling, and wash well. I’m not keen on their ethics so wouldn’t buy again, but the ones we have will last a very long time.

Yeah, Cass definitely needs a new one !

She has had one of these since she was about 12 months, very durable.

It's still perfectly serviceable, but I fancy a change. She only wears a collar when we go out, I always take it off in the house.

I love the Halti leads but like you, I really don’t like buying from them. I previously tried so many different leads with Holly and ended up giving all of them away to our local rescue centre. Once I found the Halti lead, I stuck with that as it is so flexible and soft to hold and it washes really well. So I have recently bought a new one for Cassie (reluctantly).
