Before making a decision, you need to consider whether your trusty little friend is an active pet or rather lazy. The choice of accessory depends on this. Below you will find some tips and advice for buying the perfect collar and leash.

Different materials

First you have to take into consideration the material the leash is made of. If you notice in pet stores there are plenty of them.

Leather, nylon, rope… So which leash to choose? The important thing is to find an accessory that is right for you and your dog.

In addition to the breed of the dog, there are other factors to consider. In this sense, the first thing to think about is the duration of the accessory.

There is no point in buying a flimsy collar or leash. It is better to choose a metal or leather leash, it will be more durable and sturdy.

Another very important point is to evaluate the safety of the accessory. The collar, for example, must fit perfectly on the animal. If the collar is comfortable, it will be much easier for you to control the pet.

Different types of leashes and collars

Leashes

As we mentioned before, there are many items on the market, there is one for each animal. For example, the most common is the basic leash, which is usually made of nylon and is attached to the collar with a carabiner.

They are the most used leashes. If you decide to buy one like this, don’t forget that the weight of the leash must be adequate for the weight of your pet.

Training leashes

It is an alternative. They can be useful in the dog’s education process and to correct any wrong behaviors. In the case of small dogs, it is better to buy a short one. If not, the leash must be longer.

Climbing rope leashes

It is the perfect leash for large dogs. They are resistant but at the same time light and safe leashes. They last long enough.

Collars

If we talk about collars, there are two types: they can be leather or nylon. With buckle or pressure closure.

If your dog is a sturdy animal, we recommend that you choose one with a buckle closure. It is the best and safest choice.

There are other types of collars designed specifically for more stubborn and livelier dogs. They are called “halter collars”. By pulling the leash, pressure is exerted on the muzzle and neck of the animal which will act as a guide because it tells the dog to stop and obey.

Another idea is double layered collars. These double layered tassel collars are very durable and absolutely reliable, perfect for large, sturdy and strong dogs.

A collar for each breed

Just as the title says, each breed has its own ideal collar. For example, all greyhounds, including whippets, have extremely sensitive necks.

This is why it is always better to pamper them and make them wear an accessory designed specifically to respect their needs and their physical characteristics.

And the harness? Is it really necessary?  The harness is perfect for miniature dogs, such as Chihuahuas for example. They allow you to control their slim body without putting pressure on their backs.

Other products

In addition to leashes and collars specially designed for each breed, there are other special products on the market such as leashes, collars and identification harnesses.

Safety first of all. Leashes, collars and identification harnesses carry important contact details, can be printed or embroidered.

If your little friend releases energy and vitality from all pores and every opportunity is a good one for him to sneak away, you better make him wear an identification collar. In case of loss, whoever finds it can contact you immediately.

Reflective collars and leashes

They are manufactured with reflective or luminous materials and are often also water resistant. They are very useful because they reflect the light from car headlights, increasing visibility at night.
