There are various different ways you could pick a dog collar. I'll discuss four of them here in this article. These should be very simple and to the point.

The first way I would suggest is to know the size of your dogs neck. You can find this out by simply taking a tape measure and measuring it. After you get this measurement you are now able to follow the guidelines that are sometimes on the package. You should be able to fit two fingers in between the collar and the dogs neck.

The next thing I would suggest is that you weight your pet. Many times you can tell which size collar you need by the weight listed on the package of the collar. This is another way to possibly tell how thick of a collar you will need.

I would also suggest that you pay attention to the material of the collar. Sometimes the leather collars break when pressure is applied to often. You should consider this if you have a dog that is not trained who jerks you around often. Leather also cracks when you get it wet to often.

The last thing I would recommend is to figure out what you want the collar for. Decide if you are buying the collar for training reasons or just for simply walking the dog. Training collars take a bit more detail to choose than what I listed here in this article. It's always less complicated if its only for walking your dogs.

In general choosing a collar for your dog is really an easy task. As long as the collar fits and looks good on your dog everything will be fine. When you find a collar in the price range you want to pay go for it.
