Great collar for extra large breeds. I use this as my everyday collar for my Great Pyrenees/ Anatolian Shepherd mix. The 2" width protects his throat if he pulls while tied to a cable if he pulls.

Recommend the leather keeper for the slack.

Hands down the best 2” leather collar I’ve ever used. Honestly, there is little need for me to get our gear anywhere else going forward.
The leather is exactly what they describe it as; top-tier quality. From the tanning to the cuts and build is far superior than the overpriced and far inferior gear I’d been buying elsewhere.

The leather selected is perfect for an agitation collar. It’s has a great mix between being stiff enough to hold form vertically and supple enough to be comfortable for the dog laterally and when “ agitated”. Hardware is perfect for its purpose.
This collar isn’t going anywhere. I’d imagine if the leather is caged for, this one of those lifetime purchases.
My Mals neck is a hair over 18”. I would have preferred the shorter of the two, but only the longer was available and I just wasn’t patient.
But it’s works. Not as much overhang as I expected. It adds a slight bit more bulk and you definitely need to buy one of the leather collar keeps they offer, but it’s nothing excessive for an 18” neck.
I have a saddle maker her locally and may have him shorten the collar at some point. I’ll wait to see how she hangs once the leather breaks in nice.
Honestly, I can’t imagine ever needing another agitation collar. This is by far the standard by which all leather agitation collars should be made. Can’t say enough really.
Looking forward to giving the sister agitation harness a go. If it even comes close it won’t disappoint.
I’m so happy with the quality that I’m considering ditching my “ *** *****” agitation muzzle and starting from scratch with a Leerburg muzzle. It’s an obvious difference in leather quality. Seems easier to size and with more size options. The leather used on the head strap and back strap appear to be if the same quality as the muzzle itself. Unlike my current muzzle. I’d imagine it will be built with a bit more care. My current 200usd muzzle appears to have been built “ in house” on a Friday a 3pm. Due to that, the muzzle wants to sit cocked on his snout. I promise you that if I ever had to get control of my Mal by the head strap( not designed for that but we all know it happens) it would snap instantly.

I’ll review those when I can order them.

But if you’re on the fence about a leather collar, I can’t imagine anybody would be disappointed in this purchase.
Check check triple check you’re sizing.
This is a 2” agitation collar. Can be worn as an everyday collar but it they serve a purpose. As such they are very big collars. They will have more weight to them than a typical collar.

I got this collar because my neighbor refuses to fix our adjoining fence so unfortunately my dog has to be on a long tieout that reaches the end of our property line when I’m out in the yard with him. This has saved my dogs neck when he takes off running and reaches the end of the line. He was also recently attacked by an unleashed dog and the collar potentially saved his life by taking the entire bite. This is also the most durable collar I’ve ever owned and has gotten wet and made it through a skunk spraying and still has that really nice leather smell.

These are the absolute best collars. My dog wears hers everyday!

I purchased one of these collars for my dog years ago who never ended up doing any work. Foolish but I figured I'd need the collar at some point and I thought it was attractive. He ended up wearing it pretty much daily for his entire life and the collar stood up to the elements without de-lamination. After a good number of years some of the stitching popped but the integrity of the collar was never compromised. A++ incredibly craftsmanship and quality, well worth the money. Make sure to buy extra keepers if your dogs neck is on the small side of the sizing chart.

love this collar. great quality and has held up over a year already

Just ordered my third one of these. They are super well built, actually, overbuilt. You could tow a car with one. That's exactly what we did when we got stuck and the collar was the only thing we could find to attach the tow rope to.
Only minor gripe is they run a bit on large (not really a gripe) so I'm buying a medium for my oversize male Malinois. The large size left a bit much hanging loose which is no biggie but I'm really picky.

The pic taken at the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers during 'Obedience Intensive' class in fall of 2017. Ruidoso Kraydel was eight (8) months old at the time. We're going back March 5, 2018 for two more weeks. This time is for the Advanced Obedience one (1) class.

By far the best leather product I have ever purchased. I have purchased several harnesses, several leashes and several 2 inch collars. Our first GSD wore the collar for more than 10 years and not one stitch has come loose. By far the best investment I have spent.

This is a preliminary review pictures to follow. Having worked with top quality leather products for over 20 years and understanding the advanced basics (at a high level) of various tanning ( native american, modern industrial, etc) and having replicated multiple with success/superior results... You will not find a better product unless you know what your doing and dedicate 25-30 hours to make it yourself after you find the correct base material. QUICK TIP: If edges seem soft easily folded/appear frayed... Lightly apply a beeswax product several times along edges( mushers paw wax works in a pinch;) Truly a lifelong piece of equipment to be proud of.

Here is a picture of my dog with your beautiful collar on. Brutus is a grand champion sired, 156lb male, Cane Corso. The 2” black looks small on him, but he is a beast.

This by far is the best Leather collar I have ever seen ,,,,,You must have a big dog for this one,,,,My 45-50 Lb Malinois girl was too small & I gave the collar to a GDS owner & ordered the 1.25" one ,,,,,both are the best Leather money can buy ,,,,,,Great for Bite work or just as a Great collar,,,,,

Love these collars!! Bought both black and brown when my husband and I got 2 Malinois/GSD puppies. Now at 6 months they can finally wear them and they look awesome on them <3

This is an extremely well made, ultra durable agitation collar. My dog (an 80 lb. Belgian Malinois) wears this for French Ring training in situations where a harness is not ideal (i.e. face attack, defense). It distributes force well enough for those situations, and for it's size, it is easy to put on and take off. It's a bit stiff at first, but it breaks in quickly.
