Quick Hack to tick Collars

Not a DIY agility equipment post, but i think will be nice to point this out.

Tick collars are great in keeping your dogs tick free, however, most will require your dogs to wear it 24 hours a day. The big concern with having your dog wear a collar 24x7 is that they may strangle themselves if it is caught on something.

A quick way to get around this is just do a cut on the collar, and leave a portion to hold it back.

I will use an old or expired tick collar to try various depth to determine the depth to cut before i make the cut on the new collar.

Another way that we can make it safe is to simply attached the tick collar to a break-away collar.

What i have done is to cut the buckle off the tick collar and use strings to tie it to the break-away collar.

Hope the tips will help keep things safe for your dogs....
