How to wear a dog collar
There are many styles of dog collars to choose from depending on the size and handling of your dog, as well as your training needs. For most dogs, a traditional nylon or leather dog collar will suffice. Available in a variety of patterns, colors and widths, a comfortable fit can add more fun to you and your dog. A dog collar should be comfortable and have enough space.

For the safety of the dog, the collar should not be too loose, as it will easily slip off the dog's head. The collar should not be too tight, which will restrict the dog's breathing or cause coughing. There should be a gap of about two finger thicknesses between the collar and the dog's neck, and it can slide smoothly down to the pet's shoulder blades after being worn. , the size of the neck should be checked later to accommodate the growing puppies. (Note: The size of each product of Follower is clearly marked. Use a tape measure to measure the size of your dog's neck before purchasing, and then add two to three inches)

In addition to adjusting the size, the width of the collar should also fit the pet's body shape. Smaller, lightweight collars are suitable for small dogs and puppies, while wider sizes and stronger collars are more suitable for dogs with heavier weight and stronger temperaments. Outdoors, collars are usually used with leashes to limit or train pet behavior, and also provide more safety for dogs when traveling.
