Every day dogs get out of their collars and harnesses, or they break at the worst time. Just like wearing a seat belt when driving a car, we want to back up our dogs collars and harnesses for safety reasons.A simple back up can save your dog's life as you can see in the testimonial video about how a back-up saved Hugo's life.
Below are examples of training collars and a harness with back ups. Attach a second collar with tags to their walking collar or harness with a simple carabiner. Keep your dogs safe: back up their collar or harness.
Martingale
When backing up your martingale attach it to the side buckle not the same O ring the leash attaches to so the collar can move freely.
Pinch/Prong Collar
When backing up your Pinch/Prong collar to attach it to the "Dead Ring" not the same rotating O ring the leash attaches to so the collar can move freely.
Starmark Collar
When backing up your Starmark collar to attach it to the side whole not the same O ring the leash attaches to so the collar can move freely. The Starmark collar also comes with a slip back up you can use instead.
Easy Walk Harness
When backing up your Easy Walk Harness, or any other harness attach it to anything but the same rotating O ring the leash attaches to so the collar can move freely.
We are using a basic carabiner in these examples as they are easily accessible to everyone.
We also recommend and use other forms of backups. I use a Biothane Saftey clip from What a Cutie, a NYC company and members of the Canine Cohen Club.
