Does this have to go over the dog's head or can it be put on "around" his neck?

The collar does have to slide over the dog's head. If your dog hates having a collar put on, you might be able to leave the collar on him. I would not recommend that to a home with multiple dog's but if your dog is an 'only dog', you could do that easily. It is a comfortable collar.

You open it as wide as you can, and it goes over his head to his neck. It does not open up with any snaps.

It fits around my Scottie's head. No clasps. My Scotties wear the collar all of the time because it is loose fitting. When on a walk, the collar tightens if the dog tugs.

This collar must be slid over the dogs head. You can find other 'martingale-style' collars on Amazon that have a 'quick release' buckle.

It does not have a clip on it so in order to get this collar onto the dogs neck you must slip it over their mouth, head, and ears. It does have a adjustable slide so that if your dogs head is larger in proportion to its neck you can adjust it accordingly.

It depends if the harness hooks on to the leash under the neck or on the dogs back, if its under the neck it's fine if it's the one that hooks to the leash on the back, then it's no good to you.

The hole in the headcrab doesn't fit over his head, but you can set it on his head. If you try moving him with it on, it will probably fall off though.

A harness is a must! If you were in an accident or had to suddenly stop, you risk breaking or causing severe damage to your dog's neck.

I would suggest going by the length from the ear to the shoulder because the collar is very rigid and will hurt the dog's ears if it's too long. The width around the neck can be adjusted somewhat with the Velcro closing.

Yes, it can be worn around the neck. That is what my parents do. It seems clunky at first but they got used to it very quickly.

The collar should extend past the nose at least an inch or more to ensure dog can't get to the affected area. Hope this helps.

Make sure that when you measure, it is from the back of the neck. When a dog is trying to get at it's paws, they can easily push the collar to the back of the neck allowing the snout to reach past the end of the cone. It shouldn't be measured 'where the collar fits comfortably' as the comfy cone site stated.

It does go over the head to slip down to go under their legs, but the gap is big enough that when you go to put it on the dog doesn't feel like he has to restrain from it. I tried it on my husky mix because he hates it too, but didn't really try to move around like his other one that goes on tighter around his head.

It really works best to wrap around the back. As others mentioned, you can wrap around neck and shoulders but you would have to sit down because it will move around.

We were able to use it in the middle of a back bench seat but the straps only go over one head rest. It wraps around the back of the bench with a clip buckle to secure it in place; it works perfectly for our dog.

The collar works on vibration and sound together. There are some utube videos of people who put these things on their neck....Not adviseable to put it on your neck....If it is on your dog and the dog barks there should be a change in the dogs behavior after a few barks.....

It doesn't have a "headband" per se. My husband slips it over his head, then adjusts it over his nose and down over his neck. It's made to cover your nose, ears, and neck. You still have to wear a hat over the top of your head.

Buy a stainless tag and secure it on a collar that doesn't hang loosely on the dog's neck. It sounds like the collar you're using is too loose

while you are at it, buy a harness for your dog. smart people realize that the neck (collar) is not the best place to restrain your dog.

The collar is adjustable. Just buy the one appropriate for the size of the dog. It's not magic, but it does help!

It is a tight fit going over his head when taking it off, but our dog loves to go out for a walk and tolerates our putting the harness on and taking it off--is even eager. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop his pulling.
