My question is, it needs to be very tight for it to stay in the correct spot on my dogs neck. I feel it is almost to the point of hurting him. He is a long haired shepherd and has tons of hair around his neck. Any ideas or suggestions. ? Thanks Geri

Another option is to shave a spot on the neck to shorten up the hair. The collar needs to be snug but really shouldn't be to the point of discomfort.
