🐾 Premium Mighty Paw Metal Buckle Dog Collar: Lightweight, Reflective Stitching, Durable Design Review

The description says Rugged, Rugged. This collar is NOTHING BUT. The clasp has always been of dubious quality and a bit fiddly to open. But after only 2 months this collar has completely let me down. This collar has unexpectedly worked for me at the WORST time. My dog was defending and attacking another dog who was showing aggression and instead of giving me control of the situation, when sudden and unexpected pressure was applied, the collar came off and he fell off my dog at the WORST moment.

(I'll admit I erased the light green Might Paw branding with a rotate tool because I find it ugly.) Unfortunately, for some reason they seem to be coming off.

On the other hand, the buckles are limited by holes in the material and don't always sit properly, while the snap collar can be fine-tuned for a more snug fit. In some situations, martingale can be used as a compromise, but not everyone (including me) likes…

I am a certified dog trainer and the owner of a very strong dog. I've been dreaming of a collar like this for a long time. While traditional metal buckle collars are still the most reliable collars in terms of durability, they can be inconvenient to use if you frequently put the collar on and off your dog (like me).
