They are just 7 weeks old yesterday. They sound absolutely adorable!! :) Can't you just train/work them on plain, buckle collars? If not, Premier (makers of the Gentle Leader brand head halter) makes really nice martingale collars in all different sizes and wonderful colors. The workmanship is great and the nylon of the collars feels nice and soft. This is the preferred collar at the training facility I attend classes at, btw. You can find Premier-brand collars at *some* pet stores... or you can buy them online. I've even gotten a few (brand new, NRFB) from Ebay, as there are sellers there who have brick and mortar shops and/or are authorized Premier dealers. Here's a quick link; you can Google for more: http://www.sitstay.com/store/equip/collars3.shtml Karen C.
