The collar should not be too tight or too loose. See if you can fit two fingers between the collar and your puppy's neck-if you can't, the collar is too tight. [substeps] You should find a collar that is firm and won't increase your puppy's anxiety about going. If your puppy is used to walking (and they have a strong sense of smell), a regular collar or a padded fit is best. If you have a dog who likes to stand or to sit and howl, then a short-length collar is a good option. If the dog has either a longer collar or is reluctant to sit it may be better to go for a longer collar. Just do some research on different collars, and you should come up with a collar that fits snugly about the dog's neck. It shouldn't constrict the dog's neck if it might bruise.
