Collars
Shirley:
Have been looking around for a new collar for Morgan as his current one is getting a bit shabby after so many visits to the beach ::). A lot of the collars available have these clips that you squeeze to release. The collar he has just now is one which loosens and is pulled over his head - for some reason he hates having this done so the clip seems like a good idea. However, I have reservations as to how safe these clips would be. Do any of the COL members use this type of collar, and if so how safe are they??
Thanks in advance for any comments and advice. :)

My two youngest wear these collars Shirley. I havent had any problems with mine as both of them need a little bit of pressure to release them. They have both wore them while going daft in the garden, rolling about on the beach, having a lark in the woods and it hasnt released itself. So if you are going to go for one, just make sure the clasp is sturdy. Dallas chewed the clasp on his halti and i just put it on thinking nothing of it but a few minutes along the road.......PING! Off it came with lead attached. I managed to scruff him before he got any ideas ;) ;D So if Morgan ever chews at the clasp, it would be safer to buy a new collar just in case.

Candy has one of these collars and I don't have any problems. As soon as Georgia is old enough I'll change her to one of these too.

I use the snap on collars too - never had a problem with them except once when one naughty puppy chewed the buckle bit on one :) Most of ours are made by Canac & we have had them for years so it shows how long-lasting they are!

I've got a canac one for Butty with one of the plastic release catches. I've never had a problem with mine either.
In fact i put it in the washing machine every now and then as well ;) ;D
