Slip end of leather strap through both the attachment ring for the lead first and then through the other metal piece that secures the collar. Select the appropriate size and secure as usual.

It's easy to remove the collar. I just make the leather strap loose without completely undoing it, and then slip off the two wood halves. Then I just pop into the dishwasher for cleaning. To reassemble, I position the two halves and slip the leather loop back on. Does no take more than 2 minutes of your life to do..

The collar has a small lever that locks the base of the shell into place, the cutting end has a ring that is loosened by hex screws to set the length. Very easy to set up. I keep a perfectly lengthed case for each caliber I load for, place it in the trimmer for length, tighten the hex screws down and then run a case thru and check the results on the newly trimmed case.

My issue with this collar is the buckle. The hardware is fair and I just never felt it was as secure as I wanted. I bought it for my White Shepherd puppy and have never used it as she came with a collar with a quick release latch that snaps to close which I feel is more secure. As my pup is a longcoat there is a lot of hair in the way when buckling the collar and the added security of a clicking latch is important. I like this manufacturer, we use their leash but I would not recommend this collar due to the flimsy buckle. I admit I knew this when I bought it but reconsidered when I saw the sturdier quick release latch on the collar pup came with. Hope this helps and all the best to you and your dog.

It is a little "backup" collar that the instructions say you should use, in addition to your pet's normal collar to prevent the dog from slipping both collars and getting loose. I personally don't use it, I never did so decades ago either. I use a harness with the flexi-lead these days.

There is a magnet embedded in the collar buckle. If that is lost or not working almost any magnet will work. I just tried a refrigerator magnet and it worked fine. Good luck.

Make sure you're trying to turn the collar only... its right hand thread so turn counter clockwise as you're looking at the tip head on... try wrapping a rag around the collar and use a channel lock style pliers

I did the same thing for my 2 dogs and taped their name above which side cote old their collar so I wouldn't shock the wrong one. Lol a couple things to let you know... The clasps are cheap plastic and break easy. Idk what kind of dogs you have but I have a black lab with a thinner neck and it works good for her. For my Dachshand it doesn't work well because it is too big and even being tightened to the max is still not enough. For my American bulldog with a larger neck it is not big enough and would be tight at first and now he can't wear it at all. Sorry for such a delayed response. I have been so busy.

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'm not sure what you mean, exactly, are you planning to run the line to keep her in your yard when you are not home? Some dogs learn that the collar is what makes the difference, others don't ever figure it out. Honestly having it both ways is complicated and not something I would recommend.

The collar is very large, but you can make it as small as you like, cut off the excess and heat the end to seal it so it doesn't ravel. I have three collars - one for a pug/terrier mix (about 20 lbs), one for an Olde English Bulldogge (about 70 lbs) and one for a mastiff (about 150 lbs).

According to the instructions, the collar needs to fairly tight. If you can get it buckled pretty easily, it is probably too loose. Make sure the dog is standing when you put on the collar. I have to stand over my dog and hold her up with my knees at her hips to put on the collar. I found that the collar can be a little looser and still work. But it still needs to tight enough to stay in place.

You choose the collar based off the length of the neck. My dog can still get to the base of her tail but only with her tongue. If the dog is desperate enough to get to it it'll endure the choking and pain of contorting their body to get to it but they won't be able to chew on it unless you put it on loosely. You have to stick it on very tightly, as in barely be able to slide 2 fingers in the neck part. It won't choke them or cut their air off by doing this either.

Hi Jane, we have this model and it closes with a zipper. As for "tie downs" I'm not sure what you are referring to but there is an attached lead in the carriage that you can hook your dog's collar to. We don't use that. All that being said we have a 30lb pitbull/french bull dog and this fits her perfectly. So this may be smaller than it seems in the description.

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.

Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. I find that with the spin lock bar I have the collars are always coming loose.

NO it has a slide in that locks it in place with just one finger open close=it cannot be accidentally left open as it has a clicksound,super nice collar perfect for black coated dog works great
