Now, we were told to leave the half check on in the house. I actually don't
think it can become caught on anything, or it could, but due to the nature
of the design, it can't go any tighter than a normal collar. Dogs can get
caught on an ordinary play collar. Some friends of ours' dog did this once
in thick bushes in a forest. We were calling him and he was not coming.
Finally my son found him stuck by his collar to brambles, and he had
breathing difficulties, was very wheezy, for a long time afterwards, where
he had tried to pull away and it had pressed on his windpipe. Luckily he
was fine. Also, my dog's half check is loose enough that if he did get it
caught, he could probably pull his head out of it anyhow. I think because
the chain bit is like a kind of circle, it just keeps going round and round
rather than getting any tighter if you know what I mean?

i was told not to leave the half check on when free running or when at home
but to put a normal collar on as the chek bit could get caught up and pull
tight on the dogs neck .dont know if this is possible but just saying what i
was told .i dont have a collar on them in the house but if for some reason
i do put one on it is a normal collar .but if i call at my mums or somewhere
where i let her of the lead in there house well it is her working collar she
has on and that is a half check .donna

Pam, there was a time when the release clip would come off, i had it happen,
crossing the street, so had half a harness, back in the late 70's or early
80's think it was, but some schools still use them here, or you can get one,

i have seen the half checks used in the UK and much prefer them to the ones
used here. not sure why the quick release clip ones aren't used here.
