Training Slip Collar

This listing is for a training slip collar. They feature two stoppers - one before the sliding ring, and one after - to keep the ring in place. The first stopper prevents the collar from being too loose and sliding over the dog's head, and the second prevents it from over-tightening. Please note that the stoppers may move with strong pulling from the dog. These collars are not adjustable, and are made to slide over the dog's head. To find the size you need, please measure the widest part of your dog's head (with ears squished down) with a soft measuring tape with enough space to fit 2-3 fingers (flat) under it. Because of the stoppers, the collar can also be purchased in a larger size to accommodate multiple breed sizes - see listing picture featuring two of our Poodles wearing a 30" collar.

Big Bad Woof Co. is not able to provide a refund if you measure incorrectly. The collar will be made using the measurements that you provide us, please measure correctly. If you have any questions about measuring, please email us at bigbadwoofco@gmail.com.

*NEVER leave your dog unattended, in a crate, or with another dog while wearing this or any collar. This collar is for walking/training purposes only.*

HARDWARE
The available hardware choices are nickel plated and solid brass. Solid brass is rust proof, so if your collar will be repeatedly exposed to water, it would be the best hardware choice! Please note that brass will darken as it develops a patina. This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the hardware. 

To maintain, simply wipe with a wet paper towel or wash with soap and water. Avoid wetting plated hardware as it is not rust proof, and it should be dried after water exposure.

NOTE

While biothane is the perfect material for dogs who are frequently exposed to water, it should not be used in chemically treated pools. Chlorine can cause the biothane to crack. Biothane should not be used with a flea collar. Collars should be removed when a topical flea treatment is administered, and may be replaced once the treatment has fully dried. As with chlorine, flea collars/treatments can cause biothane to crack. This does not happen in every instance, but be aware that it is a possibility and these things should be avoided for the longevity of your gear.
