yeah in i saw that one first, the to me the collar looks a bit better fitted in the one showing you how to put it on, but it looks wrong in the one showing you how to train with it.

there is another woman who talks about using it on her dog, she says shes not strong enough to squeeze the links to get it apart to put it on her dog, so she turns it inside out to slide it over its head then turns it the right way round again leaving the collar really loos.
i dont see how hard it is, i know shes talking about the larger one but its still not that as being hard to do.

I actually find it difficult with Dakas, but I dont have great grip in my hands with MS so think thats what lets me down...though my hands sometimes shake and ache when I have been stringing jewellery too long too Rolling Eyes

I find it hard to fit and remove because of hand problems. Rolling Eyes
However, I have found that there are some very kind people at my t5raining school who will help me any time I ask! Thank you. Laughing

Lorna

Is this the 'quick release' prong? If so, could you tell me where you bought it? I have an ordinary prong for Oscar, but sometimes it is difficult to undo - particularly if he decides to flex his neck muscles at the same time:-))

Thanks
Lynn

Apologies

Re earlier posts on fitting the prong: Oscar wears his high on his neck, at the back of his ears - the clip is usually somewhere between the right hand side and under his chin! I think the photos that Janis/Kendal took yesterday will show that.

I seem to recall reading/hearing somewhere that the clip should be on top for protection work, but I stand corrected on that:-)

Kind regards
Lynn

Thanks for comments people. I am going to get Basil a new medium prong with the quick release clip as I think it would be better for me. When it comes I will have a spare large one for anyone who may need one.
