Pretzelicious Collar and Lead Set

When should a puppy start wearing a collar — and how do you choose the first one?

A puppy can start wearing a collar from about 8 weeks old, but only if it is light, soft, adjustable and introduced slowly. The first collar is not for force or control battles. It is for teaching the puppy that something around the neck is normal, calm and part of everyday life.

🎯 How to measure your dog for a classic collar?

Measure the neck, not your nerves! 
If you want the collar to fit like it was born for your dog, it all starts with one magic number: the right neck measurement. Place the tape around the middle of the neck, slip 1–2 fingers underneath, and you’ve got the golden size. This is what helps us craft a collar that lands perfectly on the middle hole — comfy, reliable, and stylish from day one. No choking, no slipping, no stress.
