Dog collars here, dog collars there - all in different styles, designs and uses. Aside from generic dog collars which serve no real purpose, there are also obedience, flea control and bark control collars. So which to choose?
If your dog is noisier than the Big Four of Thrash Metal put together when he's barking, then a dog collar would be perfect. These bark control collars would detect a dog's bark through throat vibrations or through external sound detection. However, this isn't a fool-proof system, as vibrations can be triggered by other stimuli, and external sounds may not exactly be your dog barking. You can still be rest assured, though, that they are fairly reliable in helping your dog quiet down a bit. If you have the budget, you can buy combination bark control collars that sense both vibration and sound, for more reliable end results.
But once your dog has stopped barking what do you need to consider in a dog collar?
You should always remember to include a few things on the dog collar, and those things would be your dog's name and your contact information listed on a tag next to the collar. Your dog can easily be found with this information in the event he may get lost or run away. And this is also a way to make sure your dog remains relaxed even during stressful situations. While your dog may be amongst strangers, they will know his name from his collar and he'll feel less threatened if called by name.
One of the best materials for dog collar is leather. It is very strong, hard wearing, weather proof and comfortable for your dog. Depending on the length of your dog's hair, you can choose between flat collars (for short hair) and round collars (for long hair). You wouldn't want to ruin the hair on the neck of your dog. Try and keep the dog collar as thin as you can while maintaining the strength for your dog's comfort.
Finally pick a dog collar that suits your dog's personality and size. Image is everything when it comes to breeding dogs, after all.
