FAQs
Is this collar suitable for swimming?
While the collar is robust, it is made of genuine nubuck leather. Repeated exposure to water is not recommended as it may degrade the leather over time.
How do I measure my dog for this collar?
Measure the circumference of your dog's neck using a soft tape measure, leaving enough room for two fingers to fit between the tape and the neck.
Does the aluminum buckle rust?
The Alu-Strong buckle is corrosion-resistant, though it should be wiped clean after exposure to moisture to keep it in perfect condition.
Can this collar be used for puppies?
This specific model fits neck sizes between 45 and 65 cm, which is generally better suited for adult, medium-to-large breed dogs.
Is the leather ethically sourced?
HUNTER is known for high standards of material sourcing. Their production in Germany adheres to strict animal welfare and quality regulations.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to open
Check the mechanism for trapped hair or dirt and clear it using a soft brush.
Leather feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the collar to dry naturally in the shade and apply a small amount of leather conditioner once fully dry.
Strap keeps slipping out of adjustment
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the metal slider and that the tension is secure against the dog's neck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the collar, simply slide the metal adjustment piece until the loop matches the circumference of your dog’s neck. A correct fit should allow you to slide two fingers comfortably between the collar and the dog's skin.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid submerging the collar in water.
- If it becomes dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface gently.
- Use a dedicated leather conditioner occasionally to maintain the suppleness of the nubuck.
- Periodically inspect the aluminum buckle for any debris or grit that might affect the locking action.
