derekvan Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 just wondering what kind of collar you use when staking out your husky? dont want to use a prong or choke cause that could go very bad very fast... she gets out of a regular collar, and 3 diff harnesses no probs.. thanks all. (need to know for when i start going on overnight hikes/camping very soon!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(need to know for when i start going on overnight hikes/camping very soon!) We use a webbing half check for anything to do with working. (The one in the middle of the photograph below) You can get good ones from Sarah at Willows Leads - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_156522404374636¬if_t=group_activity Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 thanks, ill have to try the half check.. i don't have a pulling harness, and the other harnesses she gets out no prob they are also called semi-slips (just so u know as you dont want the chain half check) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangled-musher Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 semi slips should be fine as long as adjusted correctly, or the adjustable standard webbing collars sold by many sled dog sport outfitters. try country hounds, culpeppers or snowpawstore, dont use the chain half checks as not suitable for dogs staked out. as for harnesses, try the manmat distance harness. excellent, padded, solid and designed for working sled dogs. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekvan Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 the chain one wont work? i checked every pet store where i live and no one had semi slips so i got one with small chain before i read this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The chain ones (officially called a Martingale collar, I think.) work very good - I use one for Suka. As long as you get one that fits them properly and it's too loose/tight then it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
