[NAGDU] Where to find Bells for Dog Collars?

[Caitlyn Furness]

A bear bell is about the size of a normal sleigh bell or Christmas bell.  It has a small velcro strap so you can attach it to the dog’s collar, harness, or whatever you like.  they were and are used to scare away bears when you go hiking.
