Gunna have a go at making some collars!

Im gunna get some polypropylene webbing and have a go at making up some dog collars

Im thinking... 2" webbing (can get various colours) and either:

Flat side release buckle collar
Semi Slip collar (with slider, no buckle)

Just need to get the stuff...

Would people be interested (once i've done testers obviously)?? Thinking around £5 per collar

nice 1

I would, are they gonna have cool designs on them?

not yet, gunna be basic for the time being, may get some ribbon for them later on though

Make some and then show me , Ideally I'd like one thats black with a silver buckle

mr awkward. i havent ordered black webbing yet! only ordered red n purple as a tester, will swap the red for black tho!

Dont have any metal buckles yet, struggling to find a supplier I can you a semi slip tho which doesnt have buckles, you put it over the head and then adjust the size once its on

yeah can try that ^_^

they cant back out of semi slips either

awesome!

well I just ordered the stuff so will post up some pics once i've made 1!

Sweet!
Looking forward to it ^_^

i have a brilliant idea!

Loads of people dont like leaving collars on indoors in case their dogs get caught on either each other, or something like a door handle, pups have stranged themselves on collars before so many people now take them off

I can get elasticated webbing, surely if i make some flat collars out of this then they would be a prefect safe house collar? Because if the dog got stuck the collar would stretch and the dog could pull its head out

:O You're onto something there Sid!

sounds like a plausable Business Venture!

Get ready dragons den!

lmao can you see any issues with it? I mean reasons why it wouldnt work??

umm not really....

The only thing I can think of is, if its elastic, it works both ways, so it could constrict slightly on the dogs neck slightly.

it would be made to order and be adjustable, so should sit slightly loose on the neck

Sounds like a good idea then!

Definitley worth a go

need to get some neoprene too for padding

I don't reckon I'd be as interested in the slider one as I remember Rupert's last half check was AWFUL and would loosen itself even with one quick correction

But the flat collars with a buckle I'd be more keen on

i will get some buckles then, can only get plastic ones tho, you happy with that?

Can you get plastic ones that have a lock function by any chance?!

I'd be more interested then, his old half check was just shite had to adjust it to get it on and the d rings are not meant to touch when correcting but ended up doing so as slider kept moving

the semi isnt martingale style it looks like this:

that looks coooool!

have got my tester stuff through so will be making testers/examples on sunday providing mums sewing machine can handle it!

awesome!
