[NAGDU] Where to find Bells for Dog Collars?

[larry d keeler]

I find them at any pet store. They usually have a box of them in various
sizes anywhere from really small to cow belol.

While these are perhaps a bit expensive, I really like them. $25 for a set
of two falconry bells. Get the largest size. I expect two on a collar would
do fine for your needs. Unlike a lot of similar sorts of bells, these are
all welded shut and can't be easily pried open.

package had enough for two dozen pairs of shoes.

the size varies a lot.  This is how I bought the bells on the back door.

dog section.  Anyway I found three small bells meant for collars there. Each
came on a split ring, which is a key ring thing where you pry the end up and
slide it onto a ring and then twist it around so that it slides the rest of
the way on.  I'm not explaining that very well.

would kind of be a pain to take them off and on a lot though.  So I had a
separate collar with the bells that I used at home.  It was much easier to
take the collar off and on than it was to remove the bells.

flapper thing inside are quieter and don't always jingle depending on how
stealthy the dog is moving.
