EXCELLENT ELITE SPANKER Tactical Dog Collar Nylon Adjustable Training Collar Military Dog Collar Heavy Duty Metal Buckle with Control Handle for Medium and Large Dogs with Patches(Black-L)

This collar is pretty cool! The whole collar has the kind of material that velcro sticks to so you can add custom patches! We made one special for our dog and he constantly gets compliments on his collar. It’s part of his personality at this point. The handle also comes in handy in so many instances you wouldn’t think until you need it. He’s had this collar since he was a puppy so it has been a part of his training and helps me keep a guiding hand on him without having to grab his collar or restrict his breathing. It’s helped in situations when I just wanted him to stand and watch as crowds walked by and craziness unfolded, but he stood like a statue at my side, under control but not restrained. I think it’s comfortable for him even when he’s sleeping. It is a thicker collar so recommend for larger breeds.

Paired this with a 30ft long Biothane longline for use training a young Belgian Malinois. She incredibly powerful already, so I wanted a wide collar with a handle to help control her when needed. I looked at a bunch of similar collars, but settled on this one for one glaring reason. The handle is next to the D-ring, so when walking your dog on leash, the handle is at the back of the neck for quick and easy access. Others have the D-ring located opposite or at least further away from the handle. That means you'll have to reach around towards the front of the dogs neck (likely from behind) in order to grab the control handle. This collar is very sturdy, and as a daytime/work/play collar should last for several years at least. Strong hook and loop closure in addition to a reliable metal buckle. The wide width spreads the pressure on the neck from pulling across a broader surface area, so safer for the dog.

Good quality collar. Good fit. Easy to adjust. Worth the money.

Purchased this collar for my 4 month old German Shepherd pup who was 24lbs at start of use. Easy on, easy off, easy to adjust. He is currently 11 months, still fits great, little wear and tear and would have continued to use.. except he is now 56 lb and without warning he pulled on his leash and the plastic clip snapped like a twig and he was free. 🫤

Solid collar. 2nd one from Spanker’

I have opened several of these collars for my 105lb service dog (had to buy multiple as he was growing) these collars are excellent in quality and durability. I am replacing this one only because it is 2 years old and a little worn but by all means still fully functional and comfortable he handle is great for control in tight spaces and when he decides to be a butthead (when he is at home with out his vest, he is off work, so he is just line any other dog he plays and gets into things and due to his size he can inadvertently knock over my wife and young child) so the handle comes in very handy; additionally it was handy when training him.

I have an 80 pound female pit mix who has been through countless collars. She is tough on them- not purposely- and nothing seems to last long enough and I hate to see her walking around with a ratty collar. It’s super important that you get a correct measurement- I guessed and ended up having to send the first one back to get the correct size. This collar is so sturdy and I have no doubts that it will last a while. The 2nd one came with an “In Training” removable Velcro tag, as well as a Velcro logo; the first one that arrived came with neither of these (quality control issue?). I like the handle feature and decided to unlatch it from the Velcro in case my girl needs to be reigned in. The Velcro is very sturdy, and the metal buckle is a nice touch and gives it a rugged look. I really like the fact that the collar can’t be tightened while on her neck, and thus, there is not a risk of strangulation like there is with a typical collar. Highly recommend if you have a large dog!

Like the title suggests, this collar is the best collar out there. That is. Looks only mattered. Just after a month of purchase the collar has broken at no prevail to repair. Lucky this happened while we were preparing to walk out the house not in the middle of where it matters most. Besides the buckle the Velcro seems to be wearing away already from removing after each time we leave the house. I’m sure this collar would be great and last the owner longer if not constantly removed and you had a perfect pup that never added unneeded pressure or tug on the lead. If this is just me and maybe I received a faulty product I’m open to comments. Just know I am not willing to take the risk of losing my pup when I need a collar to show up.
