Choosing the right collar for your dog can be complicated, it can be an ordeal, or it can be a headache. Finding the right collar for your dog requires a few factors to consider. Before choosing the right one, you'll need to know if the collar will be used daily, for walks, and if you're also looking for some kind of identification, such as your dog's name or other identifying information. Here are some tips that may help you find the right one for you!
Types of necklaces
There are different types of dog collars, which vary depending on the material, design, and even the intended use. The most common dog collars, classified by function, are:
-
GPS dog collars . These collars have an implanted chip that records the dog's location at all times to track its whereabouts. These collars are very common for hunting dogs.
-
Training collars . This type of collar is used to provide guidelines and train the animal. They are especially used to tell restless dogs that they should walk alongside their owner.
- LED collars. They're ideal for those who like to go for walks, runs, or exercise, regardless of the time of day. If you're looking for a dog collar to take your dog for walks or exercises during low-light hours, such as dawn or dusk, these collars are for you. The light on these collars makes them easy to locate at a glance.
-
Anti-bark collar . Anti-bark collars work through sound or vibration. They are designed to train pets to bark, but without electric shocks.
-
Collars for aesthetics . These types of collars are, of course, the most commonly used by most dog owners. This type of collar strives for functionality without sacrificing aesthetics. They are identification collars that help owners take their dog for walks. At Ladran Gaucho, you can find a wide variety of these designs for your dog. Plus, you can combine them with matching leashes and belts!
When choosing a collar, you'll need to consider several factors.
First and foremost, consider the intended use of the garment. If you only want a collar to use when your dog goes for a walk or plays sports, it's important to consider the durability of the material . On the other hand, it must be tight enough to keep the dog secure at all times, taking into account its physique and the animal's shape. But
be careful! Make sure it doesn't cause discomfort or suffocation .
On the other hand, keep in mind that collars should never be used as a means of punishment for your dog. The collar should always be a safety device for your pet, as they should feel safe and protected with it.
Collar or harness? Which do you choose? This is a fundamental factor when choosing, as each product will depend on each dog: what makes them feel most comfortable and secure . Likewise, the owner must also choose the best option for their dog. It's common to get a harness if your dog is very restless, as it provides greater security and a better fit for the dog, and therefore, better support.
Our necklaces
At
Ladran Gaucho, all our products are of the highest quality.
Our collars are 100% made in Spain, handmade with support for local artisans. Furthermore, we do not use any plastic during the creation and manufacturing process . All materials used throughout the process are of natural origin and high-quality materials. Our collars feature a nubuck inner lining, making the garment very durable and comfortable for your pet.
Nubuck is a natural, soft fabric that will prevent allergies or discomfort for your pet .
In addition, in our latest collars, we've developed a technique that allows you to insert a flea collar into our collars. We've implemented elastic hooks on the inside of the collar, on the nubuck, through which you can pass the collar. Once you've chosen the best flea collar you consider, simply pass it through the hooks to protect your dog.
This technique ensures that the collar remains in direct contact with the animal while remaining hidden . Flea collars are perfect for keeping our dogs healthy, but if you're bothered by the unsightly appearance of such a product, you can hide it thanks to Ladran Gaucho collars.
The collars close with a Zamac buckle, composed of aluminum, copper, and magnesium, making this a designer product that's both rustproof and resistant to pulling.
The ends of the dog collar are sewn with calfskin, ensuring originality, durability, and quality. Thanks to the handcrafted nature of our products, each product will differ from the others due to the cuts and craftsmanship, which will retain a certain uniqueness, despite being the same model. And be careful!
You can combine all of our collars with the matching leash , choosing the size to your liking, creating the perfect dog collar and leash pair. You can also combine them with
unisex belts for owners. Ladran Gaucho collars are divided into collections named after different countries. Some of our collections include:
Mexico Collection
Our
Mexico collection is one of the most important social projects we carry out at Ladran Gaucho.
This project seeks to support indigenous Mexican culture in various regions, its artisans, and the Mexican economy. The Ladran Mexico project seeks to generate employment and promote the beauty of Mayan culture. Our project has been awarded the "Indigenous Hands" seal of quality by the Mexican government .
This collection emerged after the
Tanzania collection . We delved into the search for projects featuring Mayan culture, as the craftsmanship of indigenous women caught our attention. Their products, manufactured using wool yarn, were a perfect match for our brand. We discovered that their work and aesthetic fit perfectly with our brand. That's why
this collection features products like the handmade dog collar, which are 100% handmade . In this collection, we decided to abandon the use of animal leather, as many of our customers find the use of synthetic materials, such as leatherette, insufficient to meet the demands of some of our clients.
The Mexico collection focuses on the use of colorful materials, which provide vitality and movement, creating striking garments, resulting in ethnic dog collars with different prints.
Furthermore, the names of its products offer a small nod to typical Mexican slang . You can find the
Chavo collar , the
Taco collar , and the
Cuate collar .
Spain Collection
The Spain collection is one of our favorites.
It's a tribute to our country, our culture, and our people . In this collection, you can find polka-dot collars, like our Lola collar, or prints reminiscent of our country, like the
Corcho collar or the
Dalton collar . And of course, our
Spain collar ! If you're looking for a Spain dog collar, our Spain collar is perfect for you. And you can pair it with our
Spain leash in the same print.
Premium Leather Collection
Our
Premium Leather collection is one of our brand's most unique collections.
The creation of this collection stems from the need to develop top-quality products for all dogs . This has resulted in a collection focused on leather dog collars, as they are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. These products are made with the highest quality leather possible, making them extremely durable. This type of leather dog collar makes them a product that will last a lifetime. They are made from single strips of thick cowhide, closed with Zamac buckles.
Our brand logo is sealed onto the leather at high temperatures .
In this collection we have three different models, in different colors: classic, black and cherry .
How do I choose the right collar size for my dog?
One of the biggest problems you may encounter when trying to find a collar for your dog is sizing. But don't worry, on our website you can find all kinds of tips to help you find your dog's size easily.
Before getting a new collar, make sure you measure your pet's neck correctly . To do this, grab a tape measure and measure the circumference of your dog's neck. In our sizing guide, you'll see that we have different sizes, so you can find collars for small dogs, as well as collars for large dogs.
Our sizes range from XS to XL. And these are our measurements:
– Size XS: 20-29 cm long / 2 cm wide
– Size S: 30-38 cm long / 2.5 cm wide
– Size M: 39-47 cm long / 3 cm wide
– Size L: 48-56 cm length / 3.5 cm width
– Size XL: 57-66 cm length / 3.5 cm width
If your dog's neck measurement is on one extreme, we recommend choosing the smaller size , unless your dog is likely to grow or gain weight. Additionally, if you're looking for a wide dog collar, our collars are perfect, as we have different widths for all types of dogs. We also
understand how difficult it can be to find a collar for a large dog, which is why we are committed to creating L and XL collars to meet all needs .
At Ladran Gaucho, you can find all kinds of products for your dog, and we're sure you'll love our collars.
Remember, you can combine them with our leashes , and you can also find all kinds of accessories for your dog on our website:
beds , toiletry bags, and
bag cases .
