My collars and leads in English bridle leather are usually a classic style. They work brilliantly for most dogs, but sometimes something a little different is required. Laura, a very experienced dog owner, has a lovely, but very reactive, spaniel “Q”. She asked me to make up a collar that would help reduce Q’s discomfort when having a collar put on, or to a lead being attached to his collar.
The result was collar with a plastic side press clip and additional D rings so that there was minimal fuss when fitting it, or when attaching a lead.
We worked together to get the correct size, and the best placings of the D’s and this has worked well. For the family at least, but Q is still a bit nervous when in boarding kennels.
So this time Laura asked me to make up a short fitting that could be left of the collar, but that sits at right angles to make attaching a lead less scary for Q.
Laura explained what she wanted to achieve, so we worked on a design which was workable for what was needed. I then made it up. Q’s visits to kennels will now be a lot less stressful.
