Is it necessary to adjust collar each time take it off or put it on?

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

No. I left it a little loose on my dog, he wears it indoors and its nice & loose when I walk him I dont adjust it. It will tighten on its own if he pulls.

Not at all. I have this for my 200lbs mastiffs and it is loose enough that tj doesn't bother them to wear it casually and I hook it to a leash and it gets right enough while I can still slip it on and off their heads. It can also for my 80lb mastiff mix so it can be adjusted to fit many different sizes. By far the best collar I have ever bought

Unless your dog gains or looses weight, no. This collar is difficult to adjust because it's a slip/choke collar design. It's designed for dogs with larger a head than their neck so it's going to be loose. It needs to fit over the dogs head. this collar is hopefully only meant for a walking collar. I would not put this on my furbaby unattended.

As others have already stated, there's no adjustment necessary. I have no problem slipping this on/off my Bullmastiff, and it appears to fit quite comfortably. I've had it on her well over a year--and take it off for baths and such--and have never had to adjust it. It's still in great shape and works great. I would have to say, I highly recommend it, and would definitely purchase again.

None whatsoever. It is very strong and pliable. Works well. I use a harness as opposed to a collar.

If you are consistent and work with them a lot it will train them to walk politely with a normal collar. You can't just use the collar and then expect that they will know to translate that behavior to a regular one. There are training instructions provided in the package if I recall correctly. Personally I just this continually with my dog because it is safer than having the pressure on the neck.

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.

Not sure exactly what you are asking about, but my dog wears his collar all the time when I'm home so I don't have to worry about putting it on or off each outside visit. People have said that in multi-level homes that they have had to watch because it did work in the home and the dog wasn't allowed upstairs/downstairs. It would depend on how wide an area you have the settings.

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.

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!

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.

If you were able to get the collar pulled down you will just have to rock it back & forth till it budges. I have had had a stubborn one before and it just took patience on my part.

Yes! What I do is take narrow strips of duct tape and wrap the tag where the strip is not on the inside of the collar. That way it is on the skin and not on the outside of the collar at all. It saves a world of problems! Good luck!

No, but after purchasing two other collars before this one, it has been fabulous! Had it for several months and absolutely worth the extra cost of others! You won't be disappointed!

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.

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

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?

Yes the collar is adjustable. But I'm not sure how small it would get and whether it might not be too heavy for your dog. We have it on our 90 lb poodle.

They say that it should come off every night, and that's probably a good idea. If left on too long, your dog can get open sores from the contact points rubbing on his/her skin. Loosening the collar to prevent this will also prevent the collar from working. We are very satisfied with the collar, but it does need to be removed and left off overnight with some regularity.
