What size collar should I buy?
For adjustable collars the easiest way to work that out is using the string test. Arm yourself with a piece of string or cord & your pet. Place the string around your pet's neck so it's a snug fit, mark a line on the string where it passes over starting point, then lay the string out & measure the length, you should add about 25mm & thats the size collar. For comfort of the pet you should be able to slide two fingers (on top of each other) between the collar & the neck. For correction or choker collars use the same string method but you should allow an extra 100-150mm
What length of lead is best?
That is purely a matter of personal choice, however you should consider how tall you are, how tall is the dog, how much control do you need to exercise, how close (or far away) do you want the dog to be. In other words if you are a tall person with a short dog you would probably be wise to consider a lead 150cm or greater in length. We wouldn't want our dog to walk on tip toes now would we?
How do I measure my dog for a harness?
Simple! get a tape measure & let's start at the front of the dog. Hold the end of the tape in the middle of the dog's chest, now measure around behind his head to the centre of his neck, look at the measurement & double it (eg 21cm=42cm) now measure the waist about 25mm (1") behind the front legs. DO NOT DOUBLE THIS MEASUREMENT & thats it! If you are unsure just Email us the measurements & we'll work it out for you.
