The most important subject among all dog accessories, certainly, is the collar. It allows to operate an animal during walk and training. It is necessary to choose a collar for a dog correctly, considering at the same time age of the pet, his size, physical features and temperament.
Instruction
1. For a puppy choose the collar from leatherette or fabric having soft internal laying which will protect a neck of the kid from rubbing and injuries. Give preference to the model having the maximum quantity of holes for fixing by means of which it is possible to increase collar length in process of growing of a puppy.
2. Choosing a collar for an adult dog, consider her size, force and temperament. If you the owner of a large and quiet dog, give preference to a wide leather collar with a reliable fastener.
3. The collar stranglehold representing a metal chain with the limiter or without it best of all will be suitable for temperamental dogs of average and large size. The stranglehold with the limiter does not allow to squeeze a neck of a dog therefore performs only functions of a plain collar. The stranglehold without limiter squeezes a neck at tension of a lead, increasing thereby controllability of an animal. Very elegantly the metal stranglehold on a neck of sleek-haired dogs looks.
4. If you the owner of the dog having a thin and gentle neck, for example, of a dachshund or the borzoi look narrowly at a special collar which throat part is a little expanded. They cannot press or injure a throat of an animal.
5. For the disobedient and badly operated dog ideal option is the strict collar consisting of metal links with the pointed hooks resting against the pet's neck at tension of a lead. Such collar will help you to constrain an animal at sharp breakthroughs.
6. When choosing a collar for the dog who is badly giving in to training pay attention to models with the built-in stun gun. With its help it is possible to operate the pet even at distance. You should not use such collar too often, management of a dog has to consist in mutual trust and obedience.
7. Decorative collars enjoy wide popularity of owners of small house doggies (poodles, Yorkshire terriers, a chihuahua). Very often they are decorated with rhinestones, color beads, bows, florets. The main function of a decorative collar – decoration of the pet.
