[NAGDU] collar question

[Tracy Carcione]

My boys' tags are all on one S hook, so they don't make much noise.
I just bought Ben a new cloth collar, and for some reason, it makes more noise than his old chain collar.  I think it's the plastic clip rattling a bit, or maybe his tags rattling against the clip, especially when he gets up and gives himself a shake.

Just another vote for the double collar method here.. Maggie wears a leather martingale with her tags on it around the house and to go outside for potty breaks.  For work, she wears a prong collar, which doesn’t interfere with the martingale at all.  I also have a tag silencer on her tags so they don’t make noise.  Tag noise drives me crazy!

However, it seems that every so often, the keyring starts to separate and then it gets caught up in the training collar’s links, which speeds up the pulling apart of the keyring. Is there a better way to attach the ID tags to a training collar? A more durable keyring perhaps? Or is this just one of the drawbacks of the keyring mechanism?

In the wash of poetry the old, beaten, worn stones of language take on colors that disappear when you sieve them up out of the streambed and try to sort them out.”
