How to Choose the Right E-Collar Strap for Your Dog
The e-collar strap that comes standard with most e-collars leaves a lot to be desired. They're usually a single boring color, lack a quick-release buckle or bungee, and come in a size that feels like a compromise for every dog. If you're still using the original strap that came in the box, you're missing out on function, style, and comfort.
Our custom e-collar straps are built to fix that. Here's how to build the setup that works best for your dog and your handling style.
1. Length
To get the right fit, measure your dog’s neck where the e-collar will sit. Then add enough space for the receiver box. Most receivers add about 2 inches to the total strap length.
Choosing the right length ensures your e-collar sits snugly and securely without needing to overtighten or leave excess slack.
2. E-Collar Strap Width
We offer 3/4 inch and 1 inch wide strap options. Make sure to choose the width that fits your specific receiver.
3. Add a Bungee (Optional)
A built-in bungee section adds flexibility to your strap and helps maintain consistent contact as your dog moves. It’s especially useful if your dog is active, wears the collar for long periods, or has coat changes that affect fit.
4. Choose a Quick Release Buckle (Optional)
You can add a quick-release buckle in one of two styles:
- Side release: Lightweight and easy to use
- Cobra buckle: Heavy-duty and extra secure
The quick release lets you set the strap size once and take the collar on and off quickly and easily without re-threading. It’s a practical upgrade for handlers with dexterity challenges or anyone who just wants it to be faster and easier.
5. Select Hardware Color
We offer silver and black hardware options so you can customize the look of your strap down to the smallest detail.
6. Pick Your Primary Biothane Color
Our e-collar straps are made with biothane, a waterproof, stinkproof, and durable material built for daily use. Choose from a wide range of colors to match your dog’s gear.
7. Add an Accent Biothane Color (Optional)
You can add an accent biothane color if you choose to add a bungee, a quick-release buckle, or both. This lets you personalize your strap even further and makes your gear truly yours.
Final Thoughts
A custom e-collar strap can make your gear easier to use, more stylish, and more reliable in everyday situations. Whether you add a bungee, choose your favorite color combo, or opt for a quick-release buckle, these upgrades improve your daily handling experience.
