We have so many different versions of gear LOL. Most common:

Lake: biothane collars with riveted ID plates, no leash needed (I use 3' long Ella's Lead rope leads at DDing trials as well).

Out in the yard for obedience or agility practice: tag collar or fursaver, leash if needed for particular exercises

Out in public: Martingale collar with tags, 4' or 6' leather multifunction leash depending on location, sometimes a WWW Freedom Harness if it's super high distraction or I'm lazy.

Agility class or trial: tag collar when crated, on slip lead with no collar when running.

SchH club or trial: fursaver or agitation collar depending on training/trial and phase, 40" biothane leash, 10yd biothane tracking lead, or 10' tubular nylon agitation lead depending on phase.

Right at this moment, Tallulah is wearing her Ella's "Tallulah" collar, her spayed tag I made her, and a purple button up thermal shirt, child's size small, with sparkly little buttons :D IF we were going out she'd be wearing a prong collar since she WILL pull if she's intrigued with something and anything else on leash rubs her neck raw. If it's chilly she prefers to wear a sweatshirt or her microfur lined hoodie :rolleyes: Yes, she goes and gets it for me to put it on her.

Kharma, is, by choice, nekkid. If we're out, she walks on the prong as a safety measure.

Bimmer is wearing his rolled leather collar.

They all use Ella's Leads.

Guess which one is the wearwolf?

If we're just walking or training, her flat buckle collar and 6' lead. Occasionally she wears a backpack.
If we're biking, she wears a harness (for safety) and is attached to a bike leash.

A collar with his Fetching Tag on it (rotate collars, LOL, so never one specific one) and typically a harness which is he walked on (either Buddy Belt or Puppia). Oh and a jacket if it's cold outside.

My dogs have nylon collars with tags on all the time at home.

Leo, martingale collar and leash
Bella, martingale with microchip tag or full check collar and leash
Felda, her normal nylon collar with tags she uses at home and leash.
Roxy doesn't get walked outside our yard.

ETA: if we are doing bite work or tracking we use a Julius-K9 belt harness

For most outings and walks and/or Obedience classes, they wear a martingale collar with ID and a 4 to 6ft leather leash.

When Dance was taking Agility, I'd just throw a loopy leash (kennel lead, slip lead, whatever you want to call it) on her. Sometimes with a collar, but usually not.

Sometimes I just throw a flat collar on them with ID and use loopy leashes to take them to the park. Other times, they wear a martingale and a regular leather leash. Just depends on what I feel like grabbing at the time.

If it's cold out (-10 or colder), the Dobermans wear a jacket and all three also wear boots depending on where we're going/if I think their feet need them. Dance also has a jacket for our 30 to 40 below days.

I do have a couple of nylon harnesses, but I don't really have a need for them. I haven't used one in forever. I also have a couple of prong collars for the Dobermans, but very rarely do I use them anymore as I don't have a need.

Argon gets his harness and his sweater if its cold. His tag got lost last week, so we're waiting for a replacement.

Gambit...well, we believe in layers. First the thundershirt. Then the sweater if it's cold. Then his harness. Then he gets his "I Have Issues" bandana with a squirt of DAP on it. Getting him dressed for walks takes more effort then dressing myself, but it does help with his issues.
