Choosing just the right dog collar can seem daunting. The weight and width of your dog's collar should be proportional to his size. For length, measure your dog's neck a few inches down from his head, then add an inch (for very small dogs) or 2 inches for medium and large. For short-coated dogs, a broad, flat leather or woven nylon collar with a sturdy metal buckle works well. If your dog has a lush ruff and long hair, a "rolled" style collar may work better. Insure that the buckle and other parts of the collar won't tug on or catch your dog's hair. "Snap-together" collars are convenient, attractive and neater looking than buckled collars, and work well for many dogs. But if your dog is very large or strong, or has a tendency to lunge when excited, a sturdy buckled collar is a safer choice. Leather or nylon dog collars? A dog collar is always needed. Remember that many dogs are dedicated leather-chewers. If your dog spends a lot of time around other canines outside please learn How to build a dog house.
