Some Great Dog Collar Options to Look at for Your Pet






     Your dog deserves the best possible care from your side. A dog has always been known as a man抯 best friend; hence if you have a pet dog, it is very important that you reciprocate the affection by giving him the best care possible. Dog collar may seem like a very trivial requirement for a dog, paying attention while making a dog collar purchase is really important. One visit to the pet supplies store and you would be shocked to see the options that are available. Here are a few belt harness options that would be good for your dog.
Flat collars: Flat collars are also known as buckle collars at some stores. Buckle colours are perhaps the most popular and the most common collars that you would see around. Attaching identification tags to these collars is really easy. The best part is that because of their popularity, they receive special attention from the manufacturers and are hence available in a number of styles and colours.

A buckle dog collar is also a good option if you have to communicate with the dog through leash corrections. Make sure that your dog does not pull against the buckle dog collar because this may result in damage to the trachea. If your dig has a habit of pulling against the leash, buckle belt harness may not be a good idea for your dog. You can choose some other belt collar and make your dog wear the buckle collar at the same time so that an identification tag is always attached to the collar.

Martingale collars: A martingale dog collar was specifically designed for sighthounds. Sighthound is a breed of dogs with a small head, even smaller than the neck. As a result, they easily slip away from regular dog collars. Martingale collars are however, ideal for all breeds of dogs. Martingale dog collar has become really popular because it allows the owner to have more control on the dog. This dog collar is not suited for training purposes.

Slip collars: Slip dog collar is also known as choke chain. If you plan to use a slip dog collar with your dig, make sure that you learn from a trainer how to properly use it. Many people buy slip dog collars without having the knowledge of using them. This can be really dangerous for the dog. If your dog has breathing problems, this would not be the right dog collar to use as it puts direct and high pressure on the trachea.

Easy walk belt harness: This belt harness may not be as popular as the buckle dog collar, but is definitely a favourite with many dog owners. This is a very unique belt harness because it put pressure on the shoulder blades and chest of the dog instead of the neck region. This is a great belt harness when you have to control your dog. The only shortcoming of this dog collar is that is works on pressure points and hence does not teach your dog anything. When you remove this collar from your dog, it would return to its pulling habits.
