Where should I close the collar? The collar is long, which is good because I get more product, however I do not know how close it, it have a closure in the middle but the end is dangling end and no where to secure it. I know I can cut it but it would...

I don't usually cut the collar because it dies waste product. My mini schnauzer doesn't mess with the extra and neither dies my Great Dane. Make sure you bought the correct size for your dog. Otherwise, if its not affecting your dog in any way them don't cut it. It's s great collar and definitely keeps ticks off!

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.

We bought it for a golden retriever. The collar can be adjusted though and I suppose you could cut any excess off.

Velcro Closure below the neck, and a Velcro strap under the tummy. For my dog, I leave the collar Velcro closed, slip it over her head and attach the tummy Velcro...quick and easy!

A dvd did not come with my collar. My dog has a high tolerance to pain so when I use it I have it turned up. She also has an underground fence which she does respect. I found out that once they learn the different collars and respect them once they understand. She is an Australian Shepard and is very active so we need to have control! Good Luck!

Nick, The collar is very big, I have an adult golden retriever mix and we have considered cutting down a portion of the collar. There are plenty of holes for any adjustment, large or small. Great collar!

The product description says, "Collars sold separately." I just received it. I checked both ends of the box and looked all the way through it. There are no collars. I recommend buying "Lock Jaw"-style clamp collars.

No cover. You need a scarf or homemade cover unless you want to wash it after use. And a PS, I find this particular collar too stiff and uncomfortable.

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

I think you need the next size down. It's too big for your dog. Are you keeping this collar on your dog 24-7? I only use mine to walk the dog. It shouldn't fall off when you're walking your dog. If it does, it is definitely too large.

I would not recommend leaving the collar extender attched to the shirt in the wash. It may come off and impair the washer. My suggestion would be to remove before washing.

All pincher collars do (or should) have the option of buying additional clips to expand the size. The collar should be close to, but not tight around the dog's neck. Too loose can hurt the dog. The object is to stop the pulling, not punish for it. Put it around your wrist taught and sqeeze. That is all that should happen. Put it around your wrist loose and yank. You will understand how tight it should be.

My vet told me that the edge of the collar should reach the tip of the animal's nose; meaning when the collar is on your pet, you should be able to press it toward the nose and it should reach the tip of the nose. The circumference of the neck is somewhat less important because the collars are adjustable. I ordered the small for my 10lb cat, but it was way too small. I recommend the medium. I actually had one that was too long and the cat could barely get around, so my hubby trimmed it to fit better. I hope this helps. This brand is pretty clear, which is a huge plus in helping the animal move around.

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.

I would call them. I have seen reviews saying their customer service is good. They will want to help. Our collar is still charging for us. It is almost 8 months old.

There is always a risk of a cat getting hung up in something. My first cat given to me by my Aunt Lennie disappeared and I found her a year later(or what was left of her) hung in a fence row 50 feet from the house. The best way to ensure that the risk is minimized is to keep 2 fingers well under the collar when you put it on. The cat SHOULD be able to pull out of that will some effort. Some collars used to have break away panels but sure enough,they did and the collar was lost. This does not eliminate the possibility but it is about as good as you can do with any collar
