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.

I never remove the collar. That's a good way to forget to put it back on and now your Pooch can roam freely. Sounds like that rumor was started by someone's Dog.

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.

I really wish I knew the answer to your question. I'm sorry I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I'd have to say no. Other than that I really like the collar.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. It fits like any other collar. Leave a bit lose and when you use it to walk it works like a choker

Charlene, I just saw this today. I apologize for the delay. If you don't mind waiting another day, I will check tonight to see how small these collars can be adjusted, and I will let you know. I am still at work right now. My dogs are considerably bigger than a min pin and the adjustment is as large as it goes. I will let you know how small it will go.

It is not a buckle. One end slides into the other end until it clicks. To undo, you have to squeeze each side of it. It's typical of many dog collars. If you do a search in amazon for "Sassy Dog Wear Adjustable Dog Collar", that one shows the fastener part really well. It's like that.

Hello: I am not quite sure how to help. This item is for a collar. You might try searching for a different item. - Beautiful Brands -

Do you have the quick release? I have heard the quick release collar has that problem. The other issue would be the collar is not fit to the dog. They are supposed tobe snug at the upper part of the neck behind the ears a bit). I have the regular (not quick release) and it is a pain sometimes to put on and off as the prongs are hard to squeeze but have not had a problem with it unhooking or falling off. Actually unless it is way too loose, I'd think it impossible to fall off. If you go to http://leerburg.com/fit-prong.htm - they talk about how to fit the collar. Actually they have a lot of training and dog articles too.. Do you have the quick release? I have heard the quick release collar has that problem.

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.

The collars aren't easily removed--they are intended to stay on for a month, then permanently removed. IMO there is no downside to leaving the collar on full time.

Paul, I don't know. I can say that I have used this system with same collars for a year and have been very pleased with the performance thus far. Good luck!
