It feels like we are between link sizes. Due to the snugness… I am finding it difficult to attach the links. How does one determine when to add another link?
Full Question:
Hello Cindy,I just spoke with the personnel at your office to complete our video and orbee ball order. We're very excited to receive them!
After reading through numerous Q & A`s on your website; I am understanding that it is better for the prong collar to be very snug, so that it remains in the correct position (behind ears and at jaw line), rather then be loose and have it slip down.
As several other dog owners are experiencing, it feels like we are between link sizes. Due to the snugness? I am finding it difficult to attach the links. This has me slightly worried.
How does one determine when to add another link? Sigma is a 9 month old rottie and has lots of growing to do.
Thank you for answering this question.
Have a fantastic day!!!

Hi Jennifer,
When you are dealing with a growing dog, you just have to be prepared for the fact that there will be times that the fit isn’t perfect. I add another link when it becomes impossible to close the collar. Most people don’t fit the collar properly, because they worry about it being too tight. Many times it’s quite snug when you first put it on the dog, but once the dog shakes and the collar settles through the coat it will fit properly.
Of course, if it is possible to make the collar too tight but I think you need to experiment a bit as your dog grows.
I hope this helps.
