Tiffy loves her new collar. It's nicely padded and slips on easily over her head. She always jumped when the old collar was clipped shut, and it was hard for me to open. This collar is so much easier for both of us. The lead is longer than her last one so gives her a little bit more walking/sniffing space. There is a handle near the clip on end so I can hold her close to me if required. The elastic section helps her know gently when she is starting to pull. So far the quality is excellent. I've already recommended them to my daughter for her dogs.
