This is a safe, effective and inexpensive collar that will not allow the dog to slip out and yet it will not choke them either. Because it is not rigid, but rather made from a soft, smooth, flexible cord, it is less likely to break the hair on the neck, which other collars tend to do. The materials can be bought at craft shops, fabric shops, hardware stores, and/or feed stores. Because the material is so inexpensive we make several collars in different sizes that we can change as the pup grows.
You will need to buy 1 or more metal rings that are about 1/2" in diameter, plus 1 foot or more of a soft flexible cord. The kind that will feed into itself (tubular) is wonderful, because then you have no raw edges left. Many are made of polyester. The ends of these can be burned with a match to keep them from unravelling.
(A) The collar should be just large enough to slip over the dog's head.
(B) When you pull on the ring it should become tight enough to prevent your dog from slipping out of it, but not tight enough to choke him or her.
(C) This is the approximate size needed for an 8 week old Keeshond puppy. About 18" of cord is needed.
(D) This is the approximate size needed for an adult male Keeshond. About 25" of cord is needed.
