Learn About Leopard Print Dog Collars

By Jocelyn Davidson


Dog collars refer to ribbons used around necks of canines for different reasons. They are used for different needs and in various situations making them have various designs and styles. Leopard print dog collars are made different by imprints of leopard coat. They are unique making them easily identifiable from far even though their use is similar to those of other types.

A dog owner should choose a collar depending on their own personal preferences and needs. The uses are many, although the most common one is restraining of dogs. This is a general task that can be done using any kind of ribbon provided the band is attached to a leash. Leashes provide a means of holding for the owner. Restrained dogs cannot stray off and jump on people when being walked. Therefore most dog walkers find bands and leashes very using during the walking exercise.

Ribbons are also a major way of identifying a canine among others. The difference in shapes, colors, and sizes of collars make it easy to identify a canine. Many dogs can be found in a veterinary clinic, making it necessary for owners to have a way of identifying their own animal. Because of lack of identification ribbons, one can carry home the wrong dog.

Additional information may be added on the band for identification besides depending on its physical properties. Owners put their personal and contact information such as name, physical address, and phone number on a tag attached to the band. Information regarding the canine such as registration number, breed, and age may be added too. Lost dogs can be identified by such information and returned to the owner safely.

Veterinary doctors deal with several dogs in a day and each of the dogs may have different medical requirements. Lack of a way of identifying the kind of attention a dog needs can result in administration of the wrong drugs to the wrong animal. This is where bands come in handy. They are used to hold medical data for canines. The data is written on a material like a paper and then attached on the band.

Training canines is made easier by using collars. In most cases, head halters are used for this purpose. The attention of the dog is focused on the trainer using head halters. They restrain the head of the dog and prevent focus its attention on the trainer. This way, training can continue for long. Head halters make training faster and more effective.

Although head halters are good for training, they must be removed immediately the training session is over. This is because they cause discomfort to dogs according to critics. Today, with the introduction of many kinds of collars, initial purposes for which some of them were meant are being abandoned. For instance, people use spiked collars on big breeds more as fashion items and not for protection as initially intended.

Initially, spiked bands were solely for protecting dogs against neck bites from other animals. This has been changing over time. Choke, flotation, flea, lighted, and break away bands are some of the other collars in use today. Their functions differ.
