Premier Collar, 1-Inch

Premier Collar, Large 1-Inch, Royal BlueI chose to return this collar. I purchased 3. I have 3 dogs with thick necks, but small heads. I wanted a collar that was comfortable for daily wear, but that the dog couldn't back out of on lead.

If I had intended to only put this on my dogs for walks, and then remove when we got home, then this would have worked. The collars did feel very solid. Although, the adjusting needed to fit the neck properly would make frequent "ons and offs" kind of a pain?

However, my intent was to put it on, and leave it on. Two problems I didn't like-

The premier collar has a fairly large choking loop. So much area was taken up by the choke loop, that I would worry about my kids accidentally hurting the dog by tugging too hard. In all fairness, this may be solved by my getting a smaller size? My dogs measurements were just on the edge between medium and large.

I considered sending it back and trying medium...because the price is really quite fair, and the quality great. But, this brings me to problem 2.

There is only one D ring...and it is, of course, on the choker loop. If you put the Dogs ID on that, it causes the choking loop to hang down. This seemed dangerous to me. It would clearly get caught on stuff and have the potential to choke the dog.

But, the price is right, and the quality good. (although, I did notice the 1 inch collar was better material than the 3/4...the latter seemed to be "snaggy") I reviewed the product description and found the collar was described perfectly. I guess that I just didn't know what I was looking for until I tried it on the dog, and found it did not suit my purposes.

I was able to find a Lupine collar that was perfect. Also, of course, on Amazon :)

Our dog had a medium-sized Premier collar before and we encountered problems taking it off every night -clearly, it was just a bit too small for her size (she's approximately 40 pounds, medium-sized). For this collar, I decided to measure her neck according to the instructions and she fell in the very high end of the medium collar and the low to medium range for the large collar (so, easy choice -large collar it is!). Unfortunately, because she's still a fairly small dog, the 1-inch size is a bit bulky for her and we have to tighten it to the max to keep it on (and it's still a bit large).

All that being said, I haven't seen her slip out of the collar yet and it's holding up well despite several runs in a creek and through the woods. Would definitely buy again, but next time hope they have blue in a 3/4"!

this is a very durable collar. I definitely recommend the martingale type collar for most dogs. it keeps them from slipping out.

The martingale feature just doesn't work as well as a chain martingale collar. It look goods but just isn't as functional as I thought of it.
