Dog Collar Repair

[kgg]

This collar was brought to me to see if I could make it functional / serviceable again.
The collar is a US made product that is in my opinion:
i) well constructed padded collar with good quality 4.4mm diameter metal parts (4.4mm diameter),

ii) Good quality prong collar inserts, with no burrs on the prong tips which is critical when using a prong collar,

iii) Decent quality nylon main strap,

iv) Weak nylon used to connect the body of the collar to the metal square ring.

v) Weak nylon used to connect the body of the collar to the plastic quick connector.

vi) Frayed out nylon at the "D" ring that connects to the dog lead as will as some thread failure where the ends of the nylon were overlapped and sewn.

vii) Use of a 10 cent 1" plastic quick connector which failed. Nothing worst then being stood there with a dog lead in your hand attached to a  collar and no dog. Ask me how I know.

viii) Weak thread used, appears to be V46 and V69. 

To replace the collar the owner was told it would be somewhere around $300 CAD that is why it landed on my doorstep.

The first 5 photo's are of the collar as it arrived.

The last 4 photo's are the collar almost completed but functional again.
