Sid_Wolf Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 @Sid_Wolf , I'll have to find the website I found it on because it was on a webbing website. Stacey xxx if u wanted something but wasnt sure about the webbing I can send you a sample, but we have a nylon collar here and its nowhere near as soft as this. Or just ask @Shadowpup lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 if u wanted something but wasnt sure about the webbing I can send you a sample, but we have a nylon collar here and its nowhere near as soft as this. Or just ask @Shadowpup lol *Webbing - nylon webbing is softer and thicker than polypro, but can stretch when wet. If your dog swims, either remove the nylon collar before allowing them to swim, or consider polypropylene webbing. If your dog has a sensitive neck, though, nylon is less scratchy and will keep them more comfortable. Another option for sensitive skin is a cotton or hemp dog collar. These webbings are also available. Decide on a width of webbing that suits the size of your dog. This is entirely subjective, but most people like widths of 1/2" to 1" for tiny dogs, 1"- 2" for medium dogs and 1" to 2 1/2" for large/giant breeds. Webbing can be purchased at your local fabric store. http://www.dog-paw-print.com/how-to-make-a-dog-collar.html Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid_Wolf Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://www.dog-paw-print.com/how-to-make-a-dog-collar.html Stacey xxx I dont use polyprop anymore, i use polyester, which feels like silk lol xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just ask @Shadowpup lol No problems with my two and they feel really soft on their necks. Which is particulary good at the moment as Yuri has a lot of cuts around that area and they don't snag them at all. Am planning a repeat order (one for Shiloh) but have no money at the mo :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kissu & Aara Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Love it! Took a short walk to the main office and it will take some getting used to for him on walks. On the way back home he did great though. Thank you @Sid_Wolf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the walkydogs use the middle ring but because the dogs run next to the bike the harnesses tend to move and cut into their armpits. If its too much trouble then that's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 i think using a side ring would pull them at a weird angle, as it'd be pulling on their ribcage, i wouldnt recommend it personally. They also wouldnt be pulling properly with their shoulders as they're ment to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
