Brittany got a new collar today! That's not the really exciting part though - the exciting part is that she let me put it on her without a fuss!

I rubbed my bath towel all over it first so it would smell familiar to her. Then we had several sessions of me getting her to smell it, followed by a treat. Then I laid it over her neck - treat. Finally I was able to click it locked without her pulling away.

It shouldn't have been such an ordeal, but taking her old collar off was kind of traumatic for her. It was the same martingale-type collar with no buckle and no click-lock that she had gotten at the pet rescue place, and it had gotten a little too small for her. Pulling it off over her head was not fun for either one of us. Looking back, I should have cut it off with scissors.

Her new collar has a click lock - much safer and easier to remove if she gets tangled in something. Also, it is PINK. Her new name tag will arrive in a few days - it is rose gold and is engraved with a floral motif, in addition to all the important info. She will look like the pampered princess she is!
