How do you attach the leash or do you just use a regular dog collar? I like to keep my excitable dog under control. Suggestions?

The leash does not attach to the vest. Use the collar you normally use. If you use a harness, the harness would be worn under the vest. You can attach the leash to the harness through a zippered opening at the top of the vest.

Use a regular collar. I even use an Easy Walk Harness with mine (underneath the vest)! LOVE this vest and so does Kody. I sewed my Service Dog patches to it as well. It is very visible and wonderful for this purpose.

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)

There is a zipper between the shoulder blade area that can be opened for a leash to connect to a harness, if that is what you are using. I don't use it, since I get better control with a neck collar up high behind the ears.

There isn't one. There is a "leash release latch" on center top to hook your leash through to guide it but nothing to directly attach to. We attach to our own collar, through the release latch, and loop thru the handle because have very strong pullers (huskies).

I use the noose that comes with it. It simply slips over the dog's neck. Works fine on my 10lb. Norwich Terrier.

I have found that for my dog, a male boxer, taking the collar off at times only confuses him. I extended his free area by adding an extra spool of line. He has quite a large area now. I tried taking his collar off a couple of times, but trust me, he figured it out! I would rather be safe, than sorry. Hope this helps?

I would just attach your whole thing to your leash. then when you need a bag pull one out. When you're done un attach till the next walk. hope it helps.

There isn't a hook or ring to attach a leash. My dog wears an EZ Walk harness under the pack b/c I prefer the hook in the front and he can easily slip his collar. With the leash attached to his harness underneath, it's also easy to pop off the removable pouches - they don't get tangled in a leash.

You can use your existing collar sized for your dog and the trainer leash is fully adjustable because it just loops around itself so dog size won't matter. Be aware that on male dogs, the back end squeezes on their "junk" if they try pulling but is kind of annoying for them to pee also.

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

Since your dog is so young, I would try a regular collar first. My dog was older and already a puller and the collar helped correct that problem.

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! :)

The collar thread through two brackets at the sides and around the front to stabilize it, you have two size of electrodes depending on the fur of your dog, short fur you use the smaller ones, long or thick the other. Hope this helps.

There is an additional thin collar included with the leash that you can use or choose not to use in addition to your dog's regular collar. Presumably this is a "back-up" safety item that will keep your dog attached to the leash in the event the regular collar fails in some way. It isn't a very substantive collar but it is probably adequate for the intended purpose of simply providing a means of keeping your dog from getting away from you if something should happen with their regular collar. This is not a product to be used as your dog's primary collar as it is only about 3/8" wide but it should be adequate in an emergency to keep your dog from getting away if their regular collar breaks.

No, it has a hook to attach a leash too or you could hook the collar up to it, but it is really short that way, I didn't like how it seemed to choke the dog, so I just hooked it to a leash.

I cannot find any kind of a hook to clip a leash on mine. If that's important to you, you might want to try the Kurgo (I was pretty happy with that one - though the pockets aren't as roomy and it's all one piece). FWIW, my dog pulls a lot and I found a pinch collar works pretty well. Believe it or not, combined with a retractable leash, he's much more manageable. He has more freedom and responds better to the pinch collar. I know that's not the "proper" way to walk a dog, but I'm happy if I can walk him without getting sore arms!

Based on what I've read; you are supposed to be able to wean them off of the collar. What I do is I work with him with the collar on and then I drop the leash and work with him using verbal commands to see how he "listens". I'm able to step on the leash or pick it back up to correct him if need be. I still use the collar; but, I've only been using it a month or so. I do not need to use it as often as he is learning and listening to my verbal commands. He is only 6 months old; so, I assume I'll be using it for several months. I have another collar on him with all of his dog tags; but, I attach the leash to the command collar. I hope this helps.

I actually had to go get a prong collar...I needed to correct my dog and not choke her. This collar allowed my dog to pull, actually almost stand up on her hind legs while pulling against the leash...it would begin to choke her.
