    When my dogs were young they'd back away from their collars or scratch at them because they were new and scary. I don't keep collars on my dogs in the house because they play roughly and I don't want any accidents. When they DO see their collars it means walk time and they get so excited they shove their heads though on their own. When it's associated with something positive they quickly learn to love their collars!

    ROFLMAO, okay Patty you are right. They are not fool proof. They are "it gives you enough time to notice and stop their evil snakey head chewing" leashes. I made mine. I went to home depot, got the connectors and 12 to 18 inch thin chains and put them on. The brat coordinator here was the one who told me what to do. Before that, I had a BAG full of chewed leashes sewn back together that I took with me to do home visits and show potential owners the dangers, lol.

    How wide is the collar? If it is a narrow one, a wider one might be more gentle on her neck if she pulls alot when you walk.

    I use 1 inch collars by Bison, the 10-16" size works well for all my dogs. I went with the Bison collars because they are the only quick release buckle collar that has been rugged enough for my basenjis. Bison started out as a climbing company so their materials had to be rugged enough for climbers, that quality has also been present in the collars that I have gotten from them. For martingales and slip leads, I buy from All Hounds Apparel, http://www.allhoundsaparrel.com. She does several different widths. I like at least 1 inch for my dogs for any walking collar and prefer the widest I can get for coursing slip leads.

    I think that is probably due to the oyster, Knipper. There is a lot of dog food with salmon in it, so I don't think regular fish, especially in small amounts has that kind of an effect. Yeah, Pat, he also likes the little piece of matzo that I gave him. I think it's mostly due to the thin cracker rumbling when he nibbles at it.

    Fine we have no incedents since then but I just dont allow situations that allow any problems to occur (keep him crated when guests are over). In general he is a very sweet & loving dog, but in the right situation he will bite without hesitation and draw blood. 99.9% of the time he is calm & loving. When injured, is a situation you can't control. I am the only one he will let near him in that situation.
