I have a medium size dog with the temperament of a Tazmanian devil, he's a good boi but he pulls you in every direction. If you use a regular collar, it will slip out of his neck and he'll just start running all over the street. I have a chain collar like this one https://assets.petco.com/petco/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/1476572-center-1 but I don't like the look and I can't add a dog tag to it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for secure, good looking collars?

    A martingale collar was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

      I have a martingale harness for my dog. It also has a d-ring in front you can use so if she pulls it forces her to turn. It works quite well.

      we had one of these for our greyhound. it was probably 2" wide and all cloth, so the "choking" aspect was 2" cloth pressure, much less of a "choke" aspect and more of a "increasing pressure".

      don't get one of those "chest harnesses" that just clips at the shoulder blades/back. that's basically what sled dogs use, it makes pulling very easy for the dog. no-pull harnesses that clip at the sternum help cuz it trips the dog up when they pull

        +1 for no-pull harness that clip at the sternum / chest. So much easier and it’s also funny to watch your dog turn themselves backwards when they try to pull lol
