How to keep collar from slipping?
Hello! I’m super new to showing and Petra (a newly 5-month-old cattle dog) is my first dog that is registered to my country’s kennel club. We‘ve gone through a session of handling classes where I was gifted a lovely cotton collar and show lead that I’ve been using for practice. I was told you need to tighten the collar under their chin, keep the back of the collar sitting high on the top of their neck below their ears, and to have the leash portion drape at like a 45 degree angle so it’s still below their earline. This makes sense - I like specific instructions.
How are you meant to not have the collar rotate around while gaiting, though? Am I just having problems with it slipping because my puppy‘s not super leash trained and likes to forge ahead? Is this why people use the chains? Do they slide less?
