How to Put on a Dog's Collar

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Hold the chain in your hands by the two large circles. Slide the chain through one of the rings until the two large rings touch.
Step 2:
Place your hand through the loop in the chain and pull downward on the empty circle, making sure the chain creates a P shape. This is the right way to place the collar on the dog.
Step 3:
Tell the dog to sit. Remain in control of the dog, placing him or her between your legs if necessary. When the dog has obeyed and is calm, place the collar over the dog's head.
Step 4:
Attach the leash to the large ring that has no chain going through it.
Step 5:
Pull on the leash to ensure that the collar leash is securely fastened and the collar is properly placed. Proper placement means the collar freely tightens and loosens when you pull or release the leash.

Tips & Warnings

Dogs have been injured by obedience collars that were improperly placed on the dog. Double check that the collar looks like a "P" not a "4" when you hold it up.
