reddawn 2,173 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 i run me dog with a collar on, iv seen 1 nasty accident happen whilst a dog was running with collar on, but on other hand i seen a load a nasty yins happen an the collar was not involved, so its personal choice, i like it tho, just gives an extra degree of security, i seen a few dogs slip them trigger slips an get in on a run, also seen a few folks struggle to fasten them up in dark with wet cold fingers, i personally like to use a collar to grab a dog if there is more than 1 out, soon as it comes to heal with bunny i grab collar, put slip back on then deal with the bunny, that way other guy aint waiting aboot for me to knack bunny an get dog sorted before he can slip 1 Quote Link to post
