Collars and Leashes
Someone Loves Me


Collars and Leashes, says so much.  It says to the world that this dog is loved and belongs to someone. 

A dog collar and lead is much more than just a potential fashion statement. 

Dog collars have a most basic requirement and that is to hold dog ID tags which would contain your contact details, very important, should the unthinkable happen, and your beloved pooch mistakenly gets out of the safety of your property. This is the most obvious and easy way for someone finding your precious baby, to locate you, the frantic owner.  The collar is also the method by which you would attach a dog leash to your little pooch for Basic Dog Training as well as the ever necessary daily walk.

Be practical first and fashionable second.

Martingale Dog Collars are essential for certain breeds such as the Italian Greyhound and Whippets but are suitable for all dog types too.

 Martingale Collars are also known as the "slip collar".

The beauty about this cleverly designed collar is that it is tight only when it needs to be tight and loose at other times.

A very comfortable collar that prevents dogs with small heads from negotiating their way out of their collar.

Your precious pooch wears his collar 24/7 so it must be comfortable, it must not be too tight or too loose.  It must be sturdy enough to contain your little angel when it is determined to chase wildlife in the park.  Even the most intelligent owner can make the mistake of not adjusting a rapidly growing puppy's collar on a regular basis.  Make sure your puppy's collar is adjustable for the various growing stages, or you will be buying a new one each week.  

Dog collars and leashes must be appropriate for your dog size, a heavy leash is not suitable for small dog breeds.   A "no pull harness" is ideal for tiny dogs, particularly those little devils who are determined to take you for a walk.

Make sure your dog's lead is comfortable for you too.   Rhinestones may look adorable on your little angel but will cut into your hands, so try it out before falling for the designer gear.

This does not mean you can't have fun having matching collars to go with your outfit of the day. One way to show the world that your precious pooch is special and an important part of your life.

Once you have selected a suitable collar and matching lead... choose another!  Do you have one pair of shoes?!  This is your chance to step out with your baby onto the catwalks! 
There are a plethora of designs from Ostrich skin to velvet, leather to diamond encrusted dog leases, any variety of colors and patterns.  No need for your little pooch to be limited to boring brown.
