We want to keep our white GSD from being shot during hunting season. Will this stay on an active dog?

I use it on a Rottweiler and while she plays going after the ball and have no issues, I also have done some running and the vest stays on

I have a VERY high energy Belgian Malinois and 25 acres of woods. We hike every day (well I hike, she runs like the wind) and this vest is like her second skin. It stays on her like a glove and I've never had it snag on anything. I love it and am buying another one for my new rescue, a Belgian Tervuren. I'm answering this question a year later but maybe the information can help someone else. Joy

I got this specifically for hunting season and for walking the dogs. It seems to stay on just fine.

Yes! As soon as Apollo (my GSD) gets off, it stops. I laid down on it for about twenty minutes and it was nice and warm!!! I unplugged it for the summer because he loves laying on it.

We typically take our Wheaten Terrier's tick collar off when we know her is going to swim, but alas... there are just simply times when he just goes in whether it be salt water or fresh. I think they actually last about 2 months with an active dog. My experience is that they work great. We keep our property sprayed for ticks (organically- non chemically) as well. Our dog is alergic to topical tick drops.

Unless your dog doesn't push the limits I would not say it would be a good pen for a German Shepherd. It does stay in place quite well.

Yes. We bought ours in hopes of stoping our dog from jumping fences and it doesn't work at all!! The clip that sits on the dogs back is a synch clip that can't be locked in place so it only tightens when pulled on by a leash. When not tight the dog just walks it off as it loosens. Not a good product!!

I use the lead with a german shepherd. I use the lead for activities that do not involve agitation or the dog pulling strongly on the lead. It is biothane, so I think it would hold fine....but I haven't tested it.

To the best of my knowledge, taking the collar off of the dog during its 30 day active lifespan does not decrease its effectiveness.

My dog is a GSD. I stopped using it as I switched to training set. Unless you control the dog completely don't buy it.

if you are asking if you can make the dog wear the diaper, i guess it depends on the dog, but mine does keep it on. he does not try to remove it, and i noticed he seems to need to go out less at night but not sure if that is related to the diaper. My biggest problem is remembering to put it on at night. I don't keep it on during the day because he goes in and out too much.

not really. should only be used with a leash. give and take gently. it should never be left on dog if your not walking him or doing some training. hope this helps

We have a hunting dog but sweet natured. Loves to go after wildlife but the correction on the collar works great to stop her.

Hi Shelley, yes its very well made and durable I own 2 gsd and a yorkie. My 2 gsd have heavy undercoats and furminator takes quite a beating with my 3. My friend who recommended it to me has 2 full grown Huskeys. So I think that speakes for it self. If you still have doubts just call your local dog groomer and get some confirmation/tips. Best of luck to you and your fur baby. :)

Dear Jenna,We sometimes would use one boot when our GSD's pads would get cut from rough rock in Hawaii. We had hardwood floors, and the boots have enough grip for walking. Our dog (really he is our son's service dog) was used to having his pads massaged, so he did not mind the boots. The boots will come off when running, but stay on most of the time. I bought these because it was the preferred boot for military working dogs in Afghanistan. Hope this helps, and best wishes as you care for your fur friend.very sincerely,Stephen

I have used these leashes for several years now. They hold up very well and the lock will stop them in their tracks, just make sure you are holding on to the leash tightly (I'm sure you know this). We use it on a 80 lb GS mix and a 65 lb Pitt Bull with no problems at all.Hope this helps you.

Positive training doesn't always work. This collar is far from abusive and my GSD is estatic to put it on. I have put it on myself before ever using it on her. The prongs are not sharp and do not dig into the skin. she only wears it for walks or training. When used properly these collars are far from abusive.

We placed the deer whistles on our can-am spyder over a year ago and they are still in place thru wet, heat and cold weather and so far no run in with a deer. One positive is when we encountered a deer on the side of the road he remained in his position and did not run in front of us....I have to think the whistles saved our butts. Any precaution is worth a few bucks.

I would say yes. I used it on my beagle all of one day,every time it moved it would go off. Not recommended.
