Your favorite "everyday" collar.

elisabeth_00117 · 09-05-2011, 06:35 PM

I am looking to purchase a few new collars for my two goobers.

I would like 2 leather collars and two "others".

I usually use a martingale with a puppy over 4 months old (Zefra currently wears a martingale I got from Pikoda) and Stark wears a martingale hooked up to his prong (again, the martingale was from Pikoda).

When we are out and about in the city or at a special event or when we go to someone's house, I usually "dress them up a bit" and put on the nice leather collars and leads. I want matching ones for both of them. I am thinking nice thick black leather ones.

Also, I would like to order two other collars, possibly martingales... just not sure.

So... what are your favorite "everyday" collars?

We no longer use everyday collars and now they're all naked unless training or leaving the property. When we did use collars, everyone had a nice leather one with brass hardware and brass ID plate riveted on with their name and our contact information. For going places sometimes we use the leather ones, sometimes fursavers, sometimes martingales, sometimes pinch collars. Depends on the dog, training level and where we're going.

mine are all naked unless I'm training or leave the property to.

I have this one The Ultimate Leash Shop that I use when off property.. I love it, got it at an equine affaire a couple years ago, will get another this year just 'cause'

Chris, mine are naked when home but I live in a highrise apartment building in the middle of the city so they have to wear a collar when we aren't in the house. I loved the fact that when we are at my parents that they run naked!

I have a fursaver for Stark but the one I have is too big (ordered a 25' when I need a 23') and the older one I have is I believe a 21' and is too small for him. I do like the look for the fursaver though.

I think I will go with two really nice leather collars instead.

I usually use my 1" O-ring collar or the rolled collar for outtings but was looking for something different.

Where did you get your leather collars with the name plates? I was looking at the ones from Gun Dog Supply and may order from there if I can't find another place.

If you're using a martingale or a fur saver there's always the option to combine the two and have a martingale fur saver. How fancy do you want your leather collar, do you want it with bling or just quality?

How much are you looking to spend? If you want something really fancy, both Ella's Lead and California Collar Company make leather collars with customizable bling...

For everyday wear around the house, my dogs have soft rolled leather collars, which do not damage the coat:

And last but not least, a beautiful and discreet take on the prong collar...

I browse every now and then on stay.com for collars, but Miya is currently wearing a Ruff Wear hoopie collar in the lotus pattern and has a green flat out leash that attaches to my waist when we go for runs.

I LOVE this collar. It's a little spendy but the quality is unmatched. And in fact we had it on a Newfie foster when we brought her in to the vet, and the vet was just raving about it! LOL You cannot beat it for sturdy, and it looks really nice.
