• If you research about best dog collars on the
  internet, you will be presented with many options
  such that you may get confused as to that which
  you should choose. First, you need to preview the
  various types in the market and decide on one
  which suits your needs.

The common types of dog collars include the
following-

• Simple leather collar
• Simple nylon dog collars
• Martingale collar
• Choke collar
• Lighted safety collar
• Training collars

Simple Leather Collar

• Leather dog collars are available in different
  colours, widths and lengths. They can be studded
  with rhinestones, rivets and other decorations,
  or may just be plain without any design.

5
Simple Nylon Dog Collars

• Again, you will find these in various lengths,
  designs, colours and widths. The collars closure
  is mostly made of durable plastic which clips
  together but some other models have buckle
  enclosures and these are stronger and more
  durable. The advantage of these collars is that
  they can be adjusted to suit the changing size of
  the dogs neck as it grows.

6
Martingale Collar

• In most cases, this dog collar features the loop
  of material or chain which is connected to the
  solid band which then goes around the dogs neck.
  It makes good correction collar because it is
  designed such that the dog cannot slip out of it.
  However, care still needs to be the exercise to
  ensure the dog does not choke in it.

7
Choke Collar

• This is mostly made of simple chain and offers
  the advantage of being inexpensive. However, if
  fitted incorrectly it can strangle the dog and
  cause injuries or death.

8
Lighted Safety Collar

• The light in this dog collar may come from LEDs
  or it may simply be a reflective strip. This
  light or reflective strip makes the dog clearly
  visible especially at night.

9
Training Collars

• These are mostly used for training and have
  electronic signals which teach the dog being
  trained not to exhibit some undesirable
  behaviours.

10

• Each of the above types of dog collars can be the
  best in different situations. Thus, the best dog
  collars are thus those which are best suited to
  your dog. For example, training collars are
  definitely the best if you want to train your dog
  while simple nylon collars may be the best if you
  want something which can be adjusted to suit the
  size of your dogs neck as it grows.

11

• A collar should clearly show its name, owners
  name, and such important details
• The dog collar should also contain the following
  important information. It will help if your dog
  gets lost. A good tag should basically be able to
  contain and clearly show the following
  information.
• Name of the dog.
• Contact information of the owner of the dog.
• Special medical conditions, if any, of the dog.
• Phone number of the vet who treats the dog
• Any other useful information.

12

• In addition to the foregoing, the best dog
  collars for you are those which are durable and
  safe for your dog. In any case, ensure that the
  collar is fitted such that it cannot come off,
  and that it is not too tight to choke the dog.
