What is the purpose of a quick release snap? Also, I have adopted a pit bull rescue and I am not sure what size is appropriate. Any suggestion?

I tried to find out as much information about these collars as possible. There is one school of thought that says do NOT get a quick release fastener if you have a strong/aggressive dog cuz it's possible for them to tug so hard that this release comes open. It surely makes putting the collar on and taking it off MUCH easier, I can say for sure. Look at some videos on YouTube for great information. Just measure the dogs neck for sizing. It's no problem to take some links out if it's too large. If you choose too small, you can order extra links as well. I've tried other collars and, believe me, this one has no competition.

A pinch collar to be effective should be fairly tight on the dog's neck. The quick release snap allows it to be attached easily to the dog. Having said that, I've attached a cord to the center of the pinch portion of the collar and I attach that to an ordinary collar as the quick release can release unexpectedly.The size is adjustable as the links can be removed as necessary to make the collar smaller. Buy one large enough to fit by measuring the dog's neck circumference.

Quick release snap is so there there isn't tension on the neck except for the second that you pull back. If the pit is a medium sized dog than I would say either a 16 or a 14 depending on the neck size.

The purpose of the quick release...is exactly as stated...just need to pinch to release the collar, it's a convenience thing! Measure your dog's neck at the "thickest" point, and add 2-3" to determine the size you need.

I just got a keychain quick release from the hardware store and attached it to my regular 4ft leash. Worked great!

I got 2 sizes that I thought would fit my dog he ended up getting off and chewing up the bigger size. I would say go with the smaller size like a 3 or try the Thunder jacket that worked fine for mine for calming him down enough he didn't snap at people. And don't leave her unattended with it on for long I did and I was surprised to see my house torn up.

Chain a pitt bull to it. I suppose you could bolt it down or drill small holes in the sides and run a chain through it and secure the chain to a fixed object . Hope this gives you some ideas

Velcro and snap button. Its really not that difficult or cumbersome to release.

I had no problem replacing the quick release post on my old saddle to the new saddle. You will need a couple adjustable wrenches. If you are having a problem with the quick release post you will need to get one of those also since it does not come with this saddle.

I have not complaints and it fits my needs. My dogs do not exceed 30 pounds. The whole that the nail fits into is large enough for a dog of your size and I think it would work fine. However - if you wanted something more sturdy given that you have a bigger dog you may prefer the large. I have no issue with it from a sturdy standpoint with my smaller dogs.

"Line 24" snaps are a grade/size of snap that are commonly used in leather work. They work like any other snap. I have never had the snaps accidentally release in 2 years of daily use of the holster.

I am not sure. The trainer came with a quick release. That is how I use it.

I love these harnesses, but one of my dogs did the same thing. This has only happened once. Do you have the soft part of the harness in the back? You should be able to tighten both sides enough so he can't pull out. I usually hold the leash up a bit so he can't pull backwards. I do love the quick release.

The harness is well-made and the snap is quite hefty. I use on my 50 lb chow mix however she does not pull. I would only use this harness if the dog has trachea issues and as a precaution I would put a massengill or training collar on the dog and use a second leash held loosely attached to it just to be on the safe side. I would not trust any non-restraint type backup system if it was my American Pit Bull Terrier that had the trachea issues. She pulls like a freight train and probably could pull a freight train. Sometimes you just have to accommodate so use a no trachea pressure harness but have a backup system in place. The harness is well-made and the snap is quite hefty.

I would try it and different sizes in a pet store that can sell what doesn't fit to someone else, or I would type custom made muzzles in google. I love the Baskerville muzzle and use it with clicker training, we fix almost all types of aggression this way! Be a use they can eat and drink through it, some don't fit well but it's a small price to pay instead of a bite :)

I found it to actually be a little bit larger. If you need extra links they're sold by Amazon, directly below the collar advertisement. I guess you could make it REALLY large if needed. It does have the quick release. If you're dog is very large or agressive, theoretically it can pull hard enough to make the quick release come undone. I had to remove several links for my dog because it was a tad too large. My only complaint with the collar is that there weren't any instructions that came with it. Not to worry.............YouTube taught me how to do all of this and use it properly. Great product. I found it to actually be a little bit larger.

I could not find anywhere on my package a size for the snap. I would assume that they are all a standard size. I used them to put snaps on a boat cover and they worked great. If I had to estimate a size I would say that they are between a 1/2 inch 5/8 of an inch. Since they are put on with a snap application tool I would assume that they are a standard size.

Todd,thanks for going ahead and providing the information even thought the OP is old. very useful for one like myself who recently got interested in the gorillapod and who wants to learn more about what is it and isn't good for. appreciate the tip about the quick-release clip. since I will be using it with the FZ150 it sounds like a good match.

a pinch collar PROPERLY FITTED and PLACED is a great asset to controlling a dog. For the novice though, unless you seek professional help in person from a certified or well recommended trainer, I would rather see in a gentle leader/halter style collar. And it will eliminate barking and lunging with little outright correction for the handler. JMHO.
