Slip end of leather strap through both the attachment ring for the lead first and then through the other metal piece that secures the collar. Select the appropriate size and secure as usual.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

Use a pair of pliers or a crescent wrench to twist off the metal prongs and then slip it out of the collar.

Not sure what is meant by "collar diameter" Instruction manual does not mention this item.

Do you have the quick release? I have heard the quick release collar has that problem. The other issue would be the collar is not fit to the dog. They are supposed tobe snug at the upper part of the neck behind the ears a bit). I have the regular (not quick release) and it is a pain sometimes to put on and off as the prongs are hard to squeeze but have not had a problem with it unhooking or falling off. Actually unless it is way too loose, I'd think it impossible to fall off. If you go to http://leerburg.com/fit-prong.htm - they talk about how to fit the collar.

I have found that for my dog, a male boxer, taking the collar off at times only confuses him. I extended his free area by adding an extra spool of line. He has quite a large area now. I tried taking his collar off a couple of times, but trust me, he figured it out! I would rather be safe, than sorry. Hope this helps?

I'm sorry, I no longer have the collar because of the reactions it caused. I believe it is a one size fits all. You cut off the length not needed.

It is not a buckle. One end slides into the other end until it clicks. To undo, you have to squeeze each side of it. It's typical of many dog collars. If you do a search in amazon for "Sassy Dog Wear Adjustable Dog Collar", that one shows the fastener part really well. It's like that.

According to the instructions, the collar needs to fairly tight. If you can get it buckled pretty easily, it is probably too loose. Make sure the dog is standing when you put on the collar. I have to stand over my dog and hold her up with my knees at her hips to put on the collar. I found that the collar can be a little looser and still work. But it still needs to tight enough to stay in place.

You choose the collar based off the length of the neck. My dog can still get to the base of her tail but only with her tongue. If the dog is desperate enough to get to it it'll endure the choking and pain of contorting their body to get to it but they won't be able to chew on it unless you put it on loosely.You have to stick it on very tightly, as in barely be able to slide 2 fingers in the neck part. It won't choke them or cut their air off by doing this either.

You should have a plastic small green wrench that came with the collars, there are two different size hexigon holes and one should fit the doodad turn to losen doodad and will screw right back on tighten with wrench

I don't adjust the collar every time I put it on. It's still adjusted from the last wear. So I just slip it over his nose then clip the part that is snug under his head. Easy ;)

There is always a risk of a cat getting hung up in something. My first cat given to me by my Aunt Lennie disappeared and I found her a year later(or what was left of her) hung in a fence row 50 feet from the house. The best way to ensure that the risk is minimized is to keep 2 fingers well under the collar when you put it on. The cat SHOULD be able to pull out of that will some effort. Some collars used to have break away panels but sure enough,they did and the collar was lost. This does not eliminate the possibility but it is about as good as you can do with any collar

The dogs normal collar loops through it and connects so that it doesn't come off. I've never had it come off my dogs and have had to use it for 3 surgeries where it had to be worn for several weeks. I swear by this collar for comfort of my dogs.

It is a little "backup" collar that the instructions say you should use, in addition to your pet's normal collar to prevent the dog from slipping both collars and getting loose. I personally don't use it, I never did so decades ago either. I use a harness with the flexi-lead these days.

One side is a spring loaded fitting where pulling back the collar releases it and the other side threads on
