One of the biggest challenges of pet ownership, especially if you're a new dog owner, is knowing when to put your dog on a leash. Hep21, one of Turkey's leading pet products stores, is here to help you with this. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about dog collars and their proper use.
When to Put a Collar on Dogs?
In general, the first time to put a leash on your dog is when you start taking your dog outside the house. Puppies usually have their first vaccinations when they are 8-16 weeks old, which means it is safe to introduce them to the outside world. At this stage, it is important for your dog to get used to wearing a dog collar or adjustable dog collar.

Choosing the Right Collar for Your Dog
There are different types of collars depending on the size and breed of your dog. Like the small dog collar designed for small dogs and the large dog collar designed for large breeds. Hep21 offers a wide variety of collars for a variety of breeds and sizes. We also have special collars designed for specific breeds, such as the pitbull collar and golden dog collar.
Collars also vary in materials. The leather collar collection at Hep21 includes leather collars, which are a durable and long-lasting option. There are also nylon leashes available, which are a lighter and flexible option.
The size and width of the collar depends on the size and strength of your dog. For a large and strong dog, a wider and stronger collar is required. For a small and sensitive dog, a lighter and thinner collar is more suitable.
Leash Use and Training
Using a leash can be a great tool for training your dog. A leash allows you to keep your dog under control and teaches your dog what behavior is acceptable. During leash training, it is important that your dog does not pull on the leash. Instead, giving your dog treats when the leash is loose can teach him proper behavior.

The best times to leash your dog are:
- When you go for a walk
- during training
- in crowded places
Name-Customized Dog Collars
Hep21 offers named dog collar options that include your dog's name or your phone number. This can help find your dog quickly if you lose him. Plus, a collar with your dog's name and phone number is a great way to personalize your dog and add a special touch.
