Brilliant

None of mine wear collars

Elmo wears a 1/2 inch, quick release Lupine Collar. Although I don't work him, he does spend a lot of his time in the undergrowth! Taz, the Colllie wears one too. I know the quick release works as we have had to play hunt the collar for hers a couple of times!

My two have just been treated to the Indigocollars having seen the recommended here.

Schilling has always had a traditional style tag on his rolled leather collar but Dicey didn't have a tag until now. Now he has just about got to his full neck size I didn't mind investing. They both wear them when they are out on walks, never in the house.

Only very occasionally!

my old dog wears a bioflow collar with a magnet which is supposed to do something for his stiff ole joints, I figure the worst it can do is nothing. I'll put a collar on the young dog if I'm going somewhere 'official' or somewhere that's not local, but other than that I don't worry. i very seldom see other people or dogs where I train.

Mine always wear them as we live in town. I take it off when he's in the water or the bush though

Interesting array of replies. Those indigo tags look interestingt, thanks. I reckon I'll try the local saddlery as being based in Newmarket there's lots of people still making handmade bridle work - I'm think a dog collar should be easy enough for one of them?

Perryperryperry, I had a Bioflow collar for my late Springer. I now wear it round my knee at night! It certainly helps!

Got one collar that is nearly 25 years old with my favorite dogs name on it. It is used when I can remember to put it on which is not very often. Oh, I call all my dog pup the same name as I only have one at a time, now my bitches had collars but are very safely stored somewhere as I cannot find them.
