My New Favorite Collar

I am not being paid to do this review, I just wanted to pass on how happy I have been with my purchase.  When Murray took his dog class late last spring, his teacher recommended the Lupine brand of collars and leashes.  It wasn't long (I love to buy dog stuff) before we ordered their "combo collar" with a matching leash in the the style "Dapper Dog".  What drew me to this particular collar was the "combo" aspect.  It's all fabric except for the hooks, so it's in no way a clunky chain like a choke or prong collar, but it is designed to keep the dog from slipping out of the collar and it also gives you, the human, added control.  I can absolutely see how this collar would be ideal for training, and then also transition right into being a great walking collar.  It's not meant to be worn if your dog is not leashed.  We don't keep collars on our dogs all the time, only when leaving the house.  99% of the time it is just like Murray has a regular fabric collar on, but now in those times of trying to bolt after a squirrel, or pull to visit a passing dog (he walks well, but not perfect haha), we have the added security and control to keep him safe and held back.  Lupine guarantees their products even if they have been chewed.  Our boys aren't big chewers anymore, but our trainer confirmed the company will replace a chewed through product.  How awesome is that?!  The design choices are a super added bonus too!  Murray's just adorable wearing his "dapper dog".  I highly recommend Lupine products myself now.

  1. Isn't it great when you find a good leash that works? We have transition from halti head collars to gentle leaders and really love the products!

  3. We have collars and doggie tags laws here so we wear ours all the time. Mom & Dad had move us to a harness, which we are a lot more comfortable and don't run and pull like the collar. Wish we could get some petty new stuff to wear, but alas, UNCLE GOVERNMENT runs our lives too!

  4. It's a beaut looking collar and lead. You look so stylish.

    We don't wear collars around the house either.

  5. I LOVE the Lupine collars and several of our dogs have them, and Todd (the Scottie) had the exact same collar and leash when he was a puppy--but when he went to a 'big-boy' collar, I couldn't find the same print, looking at it on you, I wish I had!

  8. We can't wear collars in the yard because a couple of us manage to get them hooked on Mom's no-sibe decorative fence. We wear choke collars on our walks, but we bet we would like those a lot.

  9. Hiya Murray,

    Your new gear looks great. I have a Lupine Collar and a step in harness that works pretty good for me. They last pretty much forever, y'know!

    Cheers,
    Stella

  10. We like Lupine to. Did you know they made a special limited edition for me from a photo my Vickie took? It is cool cause only 100 dogs across the country have one like mine.

    Now we are both cool.

  14. Delilah has a lupine collar too, but I don't think it's the same style you have.
