About Collar & Leash

Is your dog naughty? Does he make your life challenging when you take him out for a walk? Does he strain on his harness,  collar & leashes and drag you along behind him? If yes, you are the one with a clear idea of how difficult and challenging it is to control a dog. A dog leash or collar can be the solution to your problems.  

Dog collars & leashes are among the essential items to buy while bringing your four-legged companion home. A dog collar, leashes or harness are special belts useful for controlling the dog. The collars offer you something to grab. Whereas the leash offers you extra three feet to grab onto the dog, so he does not get away. It is specifically helpful when your dog moves fast. Besides control, these items also help you tag your dog with information like ID nameplates or special ornaments. Keeping the importance in mind now, if you seek to buy a dog leash online in Dubai, let us help you out with the best pet supplies for your small pets.  

Beginner’s guide to types of dog collars and pet leash  

As a beginner, you must keep in mind that the dog and cat collar should be specific to your pet’s needs, behaviour, and personality. To know more about your pet, you can talk to the professional veterinarian and follow his advice on what harness, collar and leash will be best suitable for your pet. Frankly speaking, there is a lot to learn when you plan to get pet collars. But the basic thing you must keep in mind is that not all collars are compatible and work on all dog breeds. Remember, every dog is unique and has an entirely different spirit and personality from other dogs. And this is what makes every dog special. So, it is important is to pick the right type of collar to show your love and devotion to the dog. 

Standard pet collars 

There are different types of collars that fall under this category. A breakaway collar is a quick-release style that will unclip with a strong tug. In contrast, a buckler has a ring to attach the dog’s license, tag, rabies, or ID and is helpful to get it back if lost.  Another type is a chill dog collar ideal for carrying your dogs in the water while walking. It is refillable and keeps the dog cool. These styles fit around the dog’s neck without losing its shape. These types are highly recommended by the Vet for heat exhaustion or overheating. At times, the flea collars are good as a preventative tool to fight ticks and fleas. But it is not ideal for every pet. Hence better to consult the Vet before buying one. 

The electronic dog and cat tracker collar 

These are remote control collars that give a slight shock to dogs. This shock is supposed to stop the dog from doing things you do not want them to do. However, there are some ethical considerations the owner must abide by. Meanwhile, other types of collars, like trackers and bark control collars, stop the dog from excessive barking. In the meantime, the remote trainer collars are ideal for a dog over 40 lbs and with a neck up to 33″. These collars can work from a distance of 1000 yards from the electronic handheld controller. You can also find wireless fence receiver collars and vibration bark control collars in online stores like Shops.ae. 

The obedience or training collars  

These are gentle leader hear collars that put pressure on the back of the neck instead of the throat area. Hence when the dog lunges, jumps or pull, the gentle leader moves the dog’s head towards you. It then helps you to lead the walk hence keeping the dog under control. Such collars are ideal for training the dog for heeling or stopping unwanted leash behaviour. A slip or choke chain collar also falls under this category. These are ideally effective to tame bad behaviours while walking. These collars are also helpful in deterring dogs from chewing their collar. Another type worth mentioning is the martingale collar that helps stop dogs and is a safer training collar option. 

Dog harnesses 

Harnesses are ideal for dogs with pushed-in-faces or long slender necks. They are also good for dogs with breathing issues. The back-clip harness fits on the dog’s chest and clips on the back. It is good for dogs with short noses or small breeds that have restricted airways.  Whereas the front clip harness clips over the chest area of the dog. It helps to prevent minor pulling while allowing the owner to steer the dog. They are ideal for pets that need a little work on their loose-leash walking. But a vest harness is an entirely new hip dog harness that pulls on the chest and thus falls under the no-choke harness category.

To help you deal with the process of buying the best collar for puppy training, here are a comprehensive set of points to consider.

  • The waterproofing ability –This feature is important if you live in a wet climate or tend to take out your pet often. The material of the waterproof collar should be soft and comfortable to be used all the time. A waterproof collar is durable and does not need to be replaced or washed as often as other materials like nylon or leather dog collars.
  • The material of collar – Once you determine the type of collar, dig deep into the material of the belt. The dog collars come in different materials, each with unique pros and cons. Some are durable but harsh on the neck and skin of your dog, hence not recommended. Buy a collar with durable material that stays gentle on the dog skin even if they drag, pull, or rub it.
  • Choosing the right size – We believe by now, you have a clear idea about the collar you need for your dog. Now comes an even more complicated aspect – the size of the collar. It becomes more important if you order the collar online. In such a case, you must take the recent measurement of your dog. Then consult the sizing chart online to find the accurate fit for your pet.
  • Finding ideal collar length – For testing collar in stores, use the Two Finger Rule. Otherwise, begin by tightly measuring the circumference around your dog’s neck. Remember, your ideal length should be plus-minus 2 inches to that measurement. Generally, for a fully-grown dog, the length will be about 14 inches so look for a collar 11 to 15 inches.
  • The buckles of collar – As we are done with all important aspects, now is the time to look at the closing mechanism; the buckle or hook. Here the styles depend on your personal preferences. Plastic buckles are easier to operate, but they get brittle in cold temperatures and lose integrity. In contrast, metal is stronger, stylish, durable, and generally more secure.
