Loop & Hound Buckle Collar Sizing Guide

Our traditional buckle collars are made to fit your dog’s individual neck measurement, rather than using standard Small, Medium, and Large sizes.

Choose your dog’s collar measurement from 10” to 28”, in one-inch increments.

How to Measure

For the most accurate fit, measure a collar your dog already wears comfortably.

1. Lay the collar flat.
Place your dog’s current collar on a flat surface.

2. Measure from the buckle to the hole your dog uses.
Measure from the buckle to the centre of the hole your dog normally wears the collar on.

3. Choose the nearest whole inch.
Select the measurement closest to what you measured. There’s no need to add extra room — adjustability is already built into the collar.

Buying for a growing dog? You can select one inch larger than your dog’s current collar measurement for additional room to grow.

Built-In Adjustability

Each buckle collar includes multiple adjustment holes, giving you flexibility to fine-tune the fit.

For most sizes, the measurement you select is positioned at the centre of the adjustment range, providing approximately 2 inches of adjustment smaller or larger.

For 10”, 11”, and 12” collars, we use our smallest collar geometry, with an adjustment range of approximately 10”–14”.

Choosing Your Collar Width

Both widths use the same durable waterproof material and are designed for everyday wear. The difference comes down to your dog’s size, comfort, and the look you prefer.

1/2” — Lightweight and Minimal

Available for 10”, 11”, and 12” neck measurements.

A slimmer, lighter profile that works especially well on smaller dogs and more delicate builds.

Best for: small dogs, narrower necks, and a clean, low-profile look.

1” — Classic and Substantial

Available for all neck measurements from 10”–28”.

Our standard collar width, with a more substantial feel and a balanced look across a wide range of dogs.

Best for: medium and large dogs, broader necks or thicker coats, and anyone who prefers a more substantial collar.

Leashes

Choosing the Right Leash Length

4 ft - Close control
Best for busy areas, training, and city walks.

5 ft - Everyday balance
A versatile option for most walks.

6 ft - More freedom
Ideal for relaxed walks and open spaces.

Long Leashes

Long leashes give your dog more room to explore while maintaining a connection during training, recall practice, and outdoor adventures.

10 ft - Closer training and controlled freedom
A manageable length for training and exploring while keeping your dog relatively close.

15 ft - Everyday exploration
A balanced option for sniffing, exploring, and recall practice without managing too much extra length.

20 ft - More room to roam
Ideal for recall training and outdoor adventures when you want to give your dog more freedom to explore.

30 ft - Maximum freedom
Best for recall training and exploring in open spaces where your dog can safely use the additional range.

Long leash tip: For easier handling, gather excess leash as your dog moves closer rather than allowing it to pile or tangle. Long leashes are best used in open spaces away from traffic and other hazards.

Choosing Your Leash Width

Both widths are built for strength - the difference comes down to feel and handling.

1/2” - Lightweight & Comfortable

A slimmer, lighter option that’s easy to handle and comfortable in hand.
Ideal for smaller dogs or anyone who prefers a more minimal feel.

1” - More Structure & Control

A wider, more substantial feel in hand.
Well-suited for larger dogs or situations where you want a bit more presence and control.

Which should you choose?

If you’re unsure, 1/2” is a great option for a lighter, easier-to-handle leash. Choose 1” if you prefer a wider, more substantial feel in hand.
