How do you attach the leash or do you just use a regular dog collar? I like to keep my excitable dog under control. Suggestions?

The leash does not attach to the vest. Use the collar you normally use. If you use a harness, the harness would be worn under the vest. You can attach the leash to the harness through a zippered opening at the top of the vest.

Use a regular collar. I even use an Easy Walk Harness with mine (underneath the vest)! LOVE this vest and so does Kody. I sewed my Service Dog patches to it as well. It is very visible and wonderful for this purpose.

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)

There is a zipper between the shoulder blade area that can be opened for a leash to connect to a harness, if that is what you are using. I don't use it, since I get better control with a neck collar up high behind the ears.

It is not a good idea to tie a dog out unsupervised. As the other reviewers mention, the dog can chew through the nylon, can get wrapped up in and around anything within the radius of the leash, and the clip on the leash can stick open from "working" by the collar loop; all resulting in a loose and unattended pet. A fenced run is usually a better answer. Agression issues are often generated from tied dogs too. Talk to a trainer to verify.

Leslie,I normally keep my dog in the back seat of my car, but on occasion (he always prefers the front seat) I will let him sit up front with me. I just attach the leash or a rope around the passengers seat with enough slack and attach the clasp or other end of rope to the loop on the back of his harness. I allow enough slack for him to move about - somewhat, but not enough so that if I slammed on the brakes he would hit the dash or window.I hope this helps. Best regards,Jeff Turner

That is the reason I bought this collar and although it gives me a much better control over my dog, I still haven't been able to stop her. from attempting to lunge. What I do is step on her leash so that she can't get to the other the other dog and make her sit. until the other dog passes. Without this collar she still reverts back to the uncontrolled behavior.

I recommend a Herm Sprenger prong collar AND guidance from a reputable trainer if you've never used one before. You should also consider a leash that accommodates the backup collar, especially if you choose the quick release prong collar. I agree that you should avoid "house brand" products. My first experience using one was for a nervous, fear aggressive 75 lb. dog; I found it enormously helpful. It also makes 'easy' dogs even easier.

If u r very dillogent with the collar on a leash at first. Then continue to use properly this device will help! Keep in mind it's up to you to continue to condition with the collar until you can fully trust your dog. You will love this products! It has changed my life with my dog! Good luck!

Only the human can prevent an attack. I'm an animal control officer and am an advocate for maintaining your dog as close to you as possible, no matter the size of the dog. I feel a regular collar and a 1 ft (12 inch) lead works good. My Lab slipped out of this gentle lead when a small dog scared him. I felt I secured it as much as possible but my dog is intelligent enough to know how he can get out of it. If you feel your dog had the same level of intelligence as this, I would not recommend the gentle lead for you.

The Thunder leash attaches to your dog's regular collar. It then goes around their middle which starts at a bracket that is attached to the clasp. There are slides that are positioned 2 in. before and after where the leash is joined around their middle. My basset usually backs up when he feels threatened (something that happens often) and he has never slipped out of his harness like traditional ones. Worse case scenario, he'll get out of the the belly part but will still be connected at the collar!

Actually there's no loop for the leash. I just clip it on the harness' handle. O.o

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.

It has 2 D-rings to attach leashes. I use a leash that has a metal clip-on hook on both ends. I haven't tried to make it work with a standard leash.

My dog ​​is the Dogs . While walking my dog always pulls . Collars are as a matter of do not think so. However, it is free when it is not my dog ​​for a walk.

It doesn't attach to anything. It's basically a second collar. We just put ours over our current collar, but you could probably use it as a regular collar too.

while you are at it, buy a harness for your dog. smart people realize that the neck (collar) is not the best place to restrain your dog.

You are supposed to clip the leash onto a regular color, so a Gentle Leader will work great. Our dog pulls too much on collars and it rubs his neck so we actually clip the leash around the buckle in front on top so the pack is the only thing he has to wear.

The leash is more a wrist strap. I would assume it would be more of a hassle to have it attached as a fail safe if you might be that clumsy.

Yes. But mine released way too easily. I returned the prong collar. If I were to try it again, I would use a special leash the connects to the prong collar and separately to the "regular" collar.
