Favorite Every Day Collar?

For everyday use, I stick with a 1.5-inch Biothane working collar with a solid brass buckle and D-ring. It’s low-maintenance, doesn’t absorb smell or water, and cleans up in seconds after training or a muddy hike.

I like gear that can handle rain, mud, and rough play without needing babying. Biothane’s got that perfect mix of leather feel with working-dog toughness.

For training, I’ll sometimes swap to a Herm Sprenger prong or slip tab collar depending on what we’re working on, but day-to-day, simple, strong Biothane all the way.
 
I have a 1.5" flat collar for my girl. It distributes the pressure better than a thinner collar when she pulls. If she's going through a pully phase I end up switching to a front-clip harness for a while.

I personally don't use prongs because I know my communication would be sloppy and that would be unfair to her. The prong can definitely cause discomfort so I don't feel great about trying it knowing my timing sucks.
 
I like high quality 2" wide flat buckle leather collars. Stainless steel or brass hardware. Although, with my current dog I like switching collars up and I've grown fond of the fursaver. My wife isnt a fan so I've gone back to his typical flat buckle collar. Currently he's wearing a 2" wide nylon collar from Canine Athletes. I have a few of their collars and I really like them. High quality.
