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?

    Gentle leaders + harnesses are good. Normal collars are really not meant for long walks, really only for ID + short walks (from house to car, etc).

    I would also recommend having fun with leash training and teaching your doggo to heel. If you structure the training like a game, then it’s fun! My pit mix is v well trained and knows she has a job to do on walks. She’s only allowed to sniff at things when she gets a “free” command.

    Most important: you don’t want your dog to be putting stress on their neck when they pull during a walk. This can crush their esophagus over time and lead to respiratory problems.
