Rei Adventure Dog Collar

After reading the reviews I was leery about buying this, but it was on sale at my local REI so I gave it a shot. My lab wears this collar daily and has had no problems with it getting loose. Trips to the pond for swimming, running through fields, crawling under beds, the collar has fit fine the entire time. Looks like the fitment problems might be a case by case situation. Good collar for us though.

I haven't had any issues with this collar loosening, either on its own day-to-day, or while on a walk. I attach the leash directly to the collar and still no problems - I was really surprised to read the other reviews for this product. I like the lightweight material that was used and I love how this collar looks, I think it's a great product.

It's a good looking collar, but I agree with the other reviewers in that it loosens easily via the slip buckle. HOWEVER, people should take note that a dog's collar shouldn't really be the contact point between a dog and leash - especially if the dog has a tendency to pull. My pup wears a modified slip collar which he wears in addition to his regular collar when on leash, and when he was younger and pulled a lot, he was on a harness. So to the folks out there who simply clip a leash to a dog's collar, DON'T!!

Unlike the others that reviewed this product, I did not experience the collar becoming loose on its own. I do not walk my dog on the leash, but it just doesn't seem like this would be a problem.

I agree with the other reviewers. The material slides too easily through the buckle. It comes loose with standard daily dog motion (lay down for a nap, go to food bowl, get a drink, lay down for a nap). Not at all suitable for an REI Adventure Dog who might require a collar, and her tags, for her own safety.

I think this is one of the best looking collars out there, but it just isn't functional. As all the other reviewers mention, it loosens extremely easily. i just adopted a dog who is very good on a leash and doesn't pull, but by the end of our first walk with this collar it was loosened all the way and i could just slip it over his head.

I wish I would have read the reviews before buying this collar. We love REI products and thought the collar fit our outdoor style. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, it keeps loosening up. Fortunately it hasn't come off the dog yet, but after reading others' reviews I think we are going to definitely return it. We've only had our dog for a week and if she got out of her collar I doubt she'd come back to us.

Cool look, cool logo, great price but unfortunately it does not work. I love the light weight of the webbing, but it is either too thin or the buckle slide is too big for the size webbing REI chose to use. I had to constantly tighten on my dog's neck. He slid out of it and bolted twice before I finally returned it. The Adventure Dog leash is awesome in weight and length, but this collar needs to be redesigned. As the other reviewer said, don't walk your dog on this collar.

This collar loosens so much and so easily, that in the process of play with other dogs at the park, my dog has had this thing pulled off of him twice. I tighten it every time he comes near me and the weight of his tags alone will loosen it again. If it weren't for the fact that I use a harness, this thing would be in the trash. Don't walk your dog on this collar!
