You have a dog you know you also need a good strong collar. Whether you select leather or nylon the collar must be strong and comfortable for your dog. Make sure when you are shopping for dog collars that you find the dog collar that is not only cost effective that is most suitable for your dog.
Because leather is all natural, it will tend to stretch to fit around your dog’s neck, no matter what type of dog you own. A good collar will never be too tight, but should fit snug. An indicator of the right fit is the ability to put two fingers between the leather collar and your dog’s neck. Adjust the leather collar if your fingers do not fit comfortably between the collar and your dog. A loose collar is also not good, so make necessary adjustments. Loose collars can cause your dog to slip out and run away. For hunting dog owners, leather collars are a good choice, but dogs who spend time in the water should probably have a nylon collar.
