Laurens post sounds like she's still holding the leash and the collar is no longer attached.
Exactly.
If she shakes water out of her coat, the live ring slips out of the leash clip. Off leash dog, collar still on her and me standing there with the leash.
It first happened during a really heavy rain storm, and I didn't even realize it for a few seconds because she was still in position. So I scrapped that leash for a new one. It happened again with the next rain.
I started using her buckle when it rained, but it was already too late. She knows she can do it now.
A few weeks ago she decided to shake the leash off to go romp around in the snow in somebodys front yard.
Its not easy having a smarty!

sometimes when my dog shakes the water out of her coat her prong slips out of the leash clasp. I've had this happen with several leashes. end quote.
That is what's confusing me Kelly.
I've had dogs seperate the pinch before. I've had dogs slip collars before. I've had dogs break leash clasps before.
But I've never had a dog shake their way out of a leash clasp.
I feel I answered what 'I thought she meant' about a pinch seperating, but I'm not sure if that's what she meant.
I'm having a hard time getting a handle on what is happening, is it a pinch collar seperation problem (it may be to loose) or a leash failure?
Shrug, won't be the first time I've been confused.

Okay confussion is cleared.
If that's the case Lauren, a backup won't do any good because your leash won't be attached there either because if the dog has slip one, it'll have slip the other at the same time.
I gotta put it down to leash failure.

Faroh pulled and popped open his prong the other day, so I was considering getting the DD, but decided to get the nylon slip collar instead, which is the same type I used as a back-up on my last dog. However, I don't know that it will solve the problem you are having.
I might suggest using a secure clasp like a D-ring for climbing, or something similar.

Lauren if you are having leash issues, I just have to put a good word in for this leash:
http://leerburg.com/twohandleleash.htm
I used to have issues and bought many leashes before I bought this one. I have had it for several years already and no problems at all. The brass clip is the most solid piece of metal ever, not to mention this leather is very soft yet very strong.
JMO, this leash will not let you down.
Just my 2 cents.

Ok. I was thinking it might be happening because the live ring on a HS collar is relatively thin, and the back up might help because it would help fill up the leash clasp.
I've checked the clasp and it has a teeny bit of wiggle. But really no more than any other leash I have ever tested or owned.
Is there a good alternative to a leash with a traditional clasp?
I have now had this happen with three leashes. The first leather one someone gave me as a gift when she was a puppy, a leerburg leash and now another very expensive leather leash.
There is no way all of them have been defective.
Just another amazing feat by my freaky dog.

Phaedra nailed it. (Leash with a d-ring like used for climbing) Called a carabiner.
Look! Ruff-wear already makes one!  (not the same look as a leather lead, but my other half has this leash and likes it.
Personally, I swear by the Red Line k-9 leather products.

Laurens post sounds like she's still holding the leash and the collar is no longer attached to the leash.
I read her post to say that the leash is coming unattached from the collar....i.e., collar still on the dog, leash not on the collar.
Now I'm confused!

You could try a leash with a French clasp.
I can't remember where I've run across them but I know they're offered.
Actually there's three or four different kinds of clasps outside of the traditional brass thumb type we mostly all use. They're not so common but they they are out there if you start looking.

Thanks everybody!
Kelly Byrd: does your SO use two hands on the leash to walk the dogs? My one concern with the rope type leashes is that the hand that is lower on one leash would get rope burn. I had that happen with a ceaser millan leash that I bought in an emergency. It had very similar styling.
Sorry to be so picky, I just don't want to waste any more money!
