Dog collar for a walk in summer.?
I have got a dog and he is 1 year old. Every evening I would like to go out for a walk. I need a collar so he could follow me as well as not to scare the others.

RE: Dog collar for a walk in summer.?
I have always used a general purpose collar, they can go through a lot of stress when you train a dog (depending on the size of your dog).

Also, when I take my dog out for a walk, I have Lisa (my dog) wearing a muzzle. I know she would not likely bite anyone, but here in the UK there are laws coming in soon that would imprison a dog owner if the dog bites people, not just a fine as it currently is. Plus, I don't want her to bite anyone - ever.

Getting back to the question, it really comes down to the size of the dog and the shape of their head vs. their neck. I have had a few collars that were just not right, but you will find one that fits and is comfortable for the dog.

How big is your dog? Most dogs don't scare me. They might concern me if they come straight for me. I am not worried for a bite, because it is usually unlikely. I just don't want random dogs to lick on my pants. Big Grin

Half the people here walk their dogs without a collar, although those are typically small dogs.

Being a rottweiler attack victim at age 3, I've been scared of dogs for a long time. I'm not anymore however and know what to look for when a dog is heading my way. If the dog is kinda galloping and/or wagging his tail he is coming to greet you or ask for pets. If he's charging head on tail lowered, ears back, et cetera he wants a price of you. People who don't know anything about dogs are ignorant of this and will get on you for not having a collar etc. However I believe it is LAW to have a collar outside of the house. however if you're really concerned get a training collar or a harness.

I am unaware of any law to require a collar on the dog outside of the house. Where do you live? This could be a local law.

Most dogs will at most bark at me and do nothing else. A few dogs pretend to charge at me but they'd run away on their own as they get close. There were dogs following me in a manner they were closing in on me quickly from behind, but if I stop or turn around, they ran away. I must be more scary than I thought. Gen068
