Hi! How durable is the stitching? My Rottie and Akita play hard and part of that is grabbing each others collars. Would the stitching come undone?

The stitching is very durable, but you might want to stay away from white font. My little one plays hard. The white letters have faded a bit. Black letters would probably be better.

This is not about this specific collar but you all should be aware that dogs can choke each other to death by grabbing onto another dogs collar. It is best to use the kind of collar that pulls apart if a lot of pressure is put on it when dogs are playing together. Usually the safety collars have a double hitch way to keep it from pulling apart while on a leash.

It's woven into the collar, not on top and we've never had any trouble with that. However, u might want to consider more than 1 for each dog, since it'll get dirty

It is very durable. We bought ours for a rottweiler puppy who is also very playful and plays hard with other dogs. It is holding up well so far.

It appears very sturdy. I purchased at Christmastime and no fraying or wear issues.

The stitching is very good. I do not think the stitching will come undone. They both still look great.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

I'm not sure on that. I have not had that problem. Maybe the buttons on the remote are not registering or the actual collars are bad. Check the warranty and see if you are able to send back for new ones. That's probably your best bet

I have not had an issue with that, and the dog we are using the DAP collar with has been wearing one for ten months now. I realize every dog is different, but I would definitely check your Vet.

I got a collar large-my dog is a service dog, so I wanted to be able to slip it off and on at my discretion, so I can't really help you with the size,except to say she is a lab, about 75lbs. I also want to say that you will not be disappointed regarding the stitching or the wear and tear; she really does a beautiful job and gets it out within a couple of days!

The rivets I received were split down the middle such that when you spread them out, they stay in place. You can use a small set of pliars to spread them out. I would reccomend putting the smooth rivet head on the inside of the collar. If installed as the picture shows, the rivets may cause some irration to your animals neck.

Hi Nicole, I have been using mine for 4 month's with no problems. At night time I remove the collar and our dog comes in just to give her a break. I hope this helps. have a great day, Mark

They are supposed to be good for 4 weeks, but I would try a fresh collar and see if it helped. You might also add Feliway plug-ins. We have had luck with the combination.

My dog is 72 pounds and it works really well for him. My dog was able to get out of the harness when my brother in law tied him to a post (which I would never do to my dog). He was able to get it over his head. So that is something to think about if your dog is a puller. There is only 1 stap that goes under his body. I get lots of compliments on it. It is really pretty. I have not had problems, except that one time. So never tie your dog up with this collar on. (smile).

Julie, we found the same thing with our collars. Didn't take us long to learn that you have to sync the collars every time they are charged. Not sure why they are designed that way but it wasn't a real big deal to us.

It depends on the dog. I have two vizslas. One still needs the collar periodically, while the other rarely needs it. The one that needs the collar won't engage in the behavior at all with the collar on, but will on occasion if I take it off.

Hi J: With my 150lb Great Dane I had to discard the 2nd buckle and secure the device with a zip tie... which was inserted through two (4 total) incisions at the fold over. The collar is great! Very blinky. And you can spot it from blocks (or meters) away. I bought 2 more because I'm a special needs adult who lives in proximity to a battery store where they lock the doors after hours. In no way am I actually 'special needs' apart from being unmotivated to change the battery.I ordered this collar again and will continue doing this until I successfully make a transaction at the battery store.

I worry about ALL prong collars falling off, they tend to twist and release themselves. I put a short rope connecting the round ring on the prong collar to another collar (flat buckle or nylon choke) this way If the prong comes loose, the dog will still be connected to the leash. Photo is on the Amazon site for Herm Springer prong collar. Best of luck with your lab! :)

I'd say if the links are cheap buy a few , but may be worth ur while to just buy another collar . All price considering .

I have a 95 lb rottweiler, it fits her fine, I had to take one of the prongs out but it was easy to do. I don't use this collar too often.

We bought one for our black lab / Australian Shepard almost a year ago. She is still using it and she is active. She is 2 years old. Good quality collar and if it does not fit amazon is really good with returns!

Hey Kristen,The collar has a break-a-way feature, you don't want it too loose nor too tight. Follow the directions included. My cat Genny is an outside cat and fromtime to time she will "weasel" out of her collar........thats just cats !...:)
