I have raised 3 English mastiffs. This is the best collars I have ever purchased. Wide for extra large dog. Latching buckle is very strong and does not come undone if adjusted correctly. Padding inside is comfortable. Handle is large for big Hands works great to redirect attention. D-ring is strong and large for easy clip on. 145lbs, 25 inch neck, extra large collar fit as advertised. Velcro for custom name tags. Stitching had no flaws. Very fast shipping. I show off collar to all my friends. Thank you for the quality.
I have three Hound Dogs and have found this harness to be very dependable. The clasps and buckles are strong. And it keeps them warm out on cold walks in the winter.
I loved the idea of this collar. 3 in collars for everyday use are hard to find. After 8 months of owning it, the buckle is failing at a rate that I have to retire it for my dog's safety.
The buckle comes undone when only one lever is depresed instead of both as it should. If my dog sees a prey animal or threat and he postures at the end of the of leash, the collar slides to the base of his neck. When his neck is erect, the pressure put on the lower lever of the buckle from where his neck meets his back depresses the lever and the collar comes undone.
It's only usable if you constantly adjust it to keep it from the base of the dog's neck (impractical) or you always make sure you have slack on your leash, I would've bought a collar from PetSmart if I wanted to operate like that.
I emailed goat trail and got an automated reply. I wanted to buy another, but at modest discount. I replied again and got no response.
I use a different style 3 in collar from another vendor for working, it's a bit of a hassle for an everyday collar, but I'll probably buy another for walks.
For context, I have a 115 lb Presa Canario.
I ordered the collar July 12th and it still has not arrived and is now September. They won’t issue me a refund and keep delaying my order. Absolutely unacceptable.
I got this harness for my blue heeler and it fits him perfectly great quality
This is the best collar I ever came across. I like it so much. I had to order another one for my other dog.
I have a great pyrenees who is a true beast! Two years ago I had to get him a custom-designed collar because we couldn't find any collars his size. I am glad we found the DIreBeast, it is comfortable, gets the job done very well, and seems very sturdy. I just wish there were more colors, we could definitely use an orange one.
Over all pretty happy with the purchase
I bought this for my 1 1/2 yr old working DDR male German shepherd. I go for daily 3+ mile hikes above my home in rural Washington State where I usually climb 1,000 vertical feet. I bought this to mainly fill the molle pouches with lead shot to slow my male GSD down and keep him closer while we hike. This pack did exactly what i thought it would. Great quality, but i bought a large knowing that he was probably on the smaller side of large but felt he would grow into it. Its to big. If I had to do it over again, I would buy the medium as the large had to be synched tight. The Molle pouches are secured with snaps that did come unsnapped with the weight I had in them but would probably be fine with a lighter load. I will work on finding a way to better secure the pouches. Overall, its a good looking and very functional pack that cause no irritation to my dog and he never tried to throw the packs or bite at them.
