[NAGDU] collar question

[Julie J.]

At home Monty wears no collar at all.  Jetta wears a nylon buckle collar 
with her tags that do jingle.  It does help me keep track of her.  She's 
pretty well stopped using my houseplants as a salad bar, but every now and 
then she thinks about it.  The tag jingle helps me call her away from 
getting into trouble.

When out Monty wears a martingale with his tags covered by a tag silencer. 
I found when I started using the tag silencer or not having the dog wear 
tags when out, that it cut down dramatically on interference from other 
dogs.  Those tags jingling are like the ice cream truck jingle to little 
kids.  They hear that familiar tune and come running.   Silencing the tags 
was the biggest single thing I ever did to help cut down on random unwanted 
dog encounters.
