Collar Style & Sizing

There are two different collar styles, please be sure to select the right style for your dog.

1. Fixed length (ring on one end and clip on the other)

2. Slip style (two rings and a collar that tightens with tension).

Sizing Guide: Wrap a thin, flexible dressmakers tape around your dog’s neck where you want the collar to sit, or if you don’t have one, use a piece of string, or thin rope – then lay it out flat and measure how long it was. For slip style collars make an allowance to ensure it will fit over your dog’s ears (collar should be quite snug as it fits over the ears to prevent it slipping off). The measurement is often not correct if you just measure your dog’s old collar because of the thickness of these collars.

For example,

A 75lb male chocolate lab head circumference = 18″

Leash Style and Sizing

There are two different leash styles, the difference is mainly aesthetic preference

1. Classic - made with 3 strand polyester or nylon New England Rope or POSH rope

2. Calypso - made with double brain Novabraid polyester rope.

Sizing Guide:

Standard leashes are recommended for dogs 20-110lbs. The diameter of the classic standard leash rope is ½”. The diameter of the calypso standard leash rope is 7/16”

For dogs over 110lb, even the thinnest rope is strong enough, but aesthetically, some think the thicker rope looks better on larger dogs. The diameter of the classic standard leash rope is 1/2”. This is not an option for the calypso leashes.

For dogs under 20lbs, the thinner diameter is recommended and I also use lighter hardware for these leashes. The diameter of the classic thin leash rope is 3/8″. The diameter of the classic thin leash rope is 1/4″.
