I am thinking of doing it to help to find when dogs catch out of beam, good or bad idea? years ago i managed a narrow fabric manufacturers, we made glow in the dark shoe laces and webbing tape, often thought it might come in useful stitched onto a collar. it works buy absorbing light so would only be visible for a short period after a course Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 How you gonna run off and hide when the keeper comes..? it only lasts a minute or so then it needs more light, mind just training the dog to return when the lamp goes off will work too Quote Link to post

The one that reflects when a lamp/searchlight hits it is no good. Bad enough sat covering the dogs eyes So I've heard anyway, from the lads round here. I use permission.
