DAGANXI Tactical Dog Collar, Adjustable Military Training Nylon Dog Collar with Control Handle and Heavy Metal Buckle for Medium and Large Dogs, with Patches and Airtags Case (XL, Black)

LOVE LOVE LOVE these collars! I mistakenly bought a size too big, but don't even mind that I had to buy another one. My pup will grow into the L eventually! The quality of these collars is outstanding for the cost. From the first order of the size L to the second order of size M, they are identical - no flaws or variations that would indicate skimping on quality for cost savings by the manufacturer. The buckle is the real deal - metal and secure. Although the collars are a bit heavier than most I've seen, having a metal buckle is essential for large breeds especially if you have more than one dog that chews on the other's collar. These cannot become brittle and crack. The buckle pieces easily slide into each other for a quick snap and ease of use.One of the features I didn't appreciate until I had it in my hands to put on my pup is the secondary closure. As if the high-quality buckle wasn't enough, there is a secondary velcro closure that helps you adjust the size if it is a bit too large when purchased.The thickness of the collar for the L and M sizes doesn't appear to be too extreme, which is nice when you're getting a young pup used to a thicker collar because the will be a large dog when finished growing. With just an ID tag attached, this collar is very quiet. I believe this has to do with the thickness of the metal loop to connect the ID tags. Again, remarkably great quality.Yet another feature is the loop to grab onto if you need to do so. This works so well for training purposes when you are trying to teach "sit" or "heel" or similar where they will be right next to your side or for very energetic dogs to gain focus.The patches that come with the collar are very well made, of great quality! I haven't used the airtag covers yet, but they appear to be standard and connect easily.The Spring Grass color is amazing! I can't stand the "pink" for girl and "blue" for boy mentality, and each of my dogs have had their own signature color. This green is just different enough from other greens, and is not military olive, so her "non-working" clothes look much different than her "working" clothes :).I highly recommend these collars. My only complaint is that they do not have more products available. I'd love a non-bungee leash in the Spring Grass color and the ability to order leashes separately.

It's a nice collar, I think it should last a very long time. When I first pulled it out I was a little overwhelmed with all the little extras that are attached to it, I thought for sure those would rub or get annoying for the dog, my dog took right to the collar and seems to enjoy it. It's thicker than I expected, it's wider than I expected, and it has some weight to it, none of these things are bad or good, they just are. The one thing I do like, that I didn't even realize when buying it what's that right where you connect the collar at its class which is metal, it actually has a small section of Velcro, so even if the clasp gets opened somehow there's still an inch and a half of Velcro keeping it secure, it also means that you can make it a little bit tighter around the neck than what the clasp can do. So it's kind of like having a belt with two notches on it that you favor, your fat days notch and your skinny days notch that way you're not constantly adjusting the collar you can just adjust where you velcro it and then click it into place. It comes with some Velcro on the outside for patches that you can apply, for example, service dog, warning I bite, or what came with it, was an American flag, I wasn't sure how well it would stay on but I've attached it and it is not come loose at all. I was also sent a patch, that reads mama says I'm special. That'd be nice if I was a mama, but I'm a papa, I could have probably figured that out from the name and supplied the correct patch or every dog collar gets the same two patches American flag and a mama says I'm special. Eventually I will go out and buy a reflective patch. But that is the one thing that this collar is lacking, it is the ability to be reflective. As a puppy he had a reflective collar and I loved it, when he would go out in the yard at night just a little bit of light that hit that collar and I knew exactly where he was, now I have to just listen for the jingle of his tags. Again, wish they had an option for reflective collar but they didn't, so my plan was to buy a reflective patch which I will do eventually. Overall the collar is solid, well made and would definitely recommend. There is a built-in handle, which is a nice feature, but almost maybe a novelty item if I had the choice of that collar coming with the handle or not, I probably would buy the one without. But who knows, I've only had the collar a couple weeks, I may use the handle more often than I think. However on that topic, the handle is velcro down to make everything nice and neat, if I'm needing to use that handle it's in an emergency where I don't have time to un velcro it, kind of defeats the purpose. It was easy enough to get to the right size and install on my dog, it did not come with any funky scent as some items do. And I would recommend.

This is actually a really nice collar for the price! Very sturdy! My only concern is the exposed Velcro. I am surrounded by forest and lakes and rivers, and so there is plenty of opportunity for our rambunctious dog to get all sorts of debris caught up in it. Upon first impression, I rate this 4 stars. I may return in a few weeks to update my review. :)
