A dog collar is more than just an aesthetic accessory. It’s an essential part of everyday canine life, combining safety, identification and style.  At MAURICE, we’ve made the collar an object of distinction and comfort for four-legged companions. But why put a collar on your dog? Here’s everything you need to know.

A dog collar for everyday safety

Walking your dog on a leash is now compulsory in most public places around the world.

A dog collar is first and foremost a safety device. It allows you to attach a leash when walking your dog, giving you optimum control over your dog. Whether in town or out in the countryside, it’s essential to be able to guide your companion with complete peace of mind, particularly in the event of danger (traffic, other animals, high-risk areas).

A well-adjusted collar also avoids the risk of escape. Some dogs tend to explore the world a little too enthusiastically. A well-designed collar ensures optimum support and comfort for your dog. A collar is the right size if you can easily put your hand flat under the strap, or if you can leave the equivalent of a finger between the collar and your dog’s neck. Need some advice? Consult our size guide to find out which dog collar size to choose.

If you let your dog run free, the collar allows you to hold him by the hand, especially in an emergency. In the event of a runaway or stray, it shows at a glance that your dog is not abandoned. The collar can also be used to attach a medallion with the owner’s contact details to facilitate reunions.

Essential identification

A collar is also a means of identifying your dog. It allows you to attach a tag with your dog’s name and contact details, a crucial element in the event of a runaway or loss. Even if your dog is chipped, a collar with a tag is the quickest way for someone who finds him to contact you immediately.

At MAURICE, we’ve designed our collars with sturdy, elegant buckles that make it easy to attach a tag, while preserving the aesthetics and quality of the leather.

Today, the dog collar is a true fashion accessory

Beyond its functional role, the collar is also a true fashion accessory. It reflects the dog’s style as much as that of its owner. A well-chosen collar brings a touch of elegance and refinement to your companion.

The MAURICE brand offers collars made from noble, durable materials, such as grained leather or nubuck. Our creations, such as the URSUS ARCTOS collar in ‘Tiramisu’, the AILURUS FULGENS collar in Cognac, Deep Water and Dune or the GORILLA BERINGEI BERINGEI collar, embody both luxury and respect for animal comfort.

Leather collars are soft and very comfortable

A well-chosen collar should be comfortable to wear. It shouldn’t rub, irritate or be too tight. That’s why at MAURICE, we pay particular attention to the materials used and the design of each piece. Our collars are lined with vegetable-tanned leather, a soft, natural material that adapts to the dog’s skin without causing discomfort.

The choice of width and type of fastening is also decisive. A collar that’s too wide or too thin can be unsuitable for a dog’s morphology. Our models are designed to combine aesthetics and well-being, guaranteeing comfortable wear all day long.

A question of training and education

Collars also play an important role in dog training. From an early age, a puppy should get used to wearing a collar, so that it doesn’t get in the way when it grows up. From 2 or 3 months, but not before. It’s essential to choose a collar that’s the right size, fixed and not too rigid.

Dog collars can be used to attach a leash for gentle walking training. Some dogs need stimulation and cues to understand basic commands. A well-fitting collar can be a valuable ally in working on responsiveness to commands, without hindering their freedom of movement.

A collar for every dog

All dogs are different and have specific needs when it comes to collars. A small dog will need a light, discreet model, while a large dog will need a more robust collar.

At MAURICE, we’ve developed a range of collars to suit different dog morphologies and lifestyles. Whether in vegetable-tanned leather for a timeless look, or in nubuck for unrivalled softness, each piece is designed to last and accompany every walk with elegance.

More than just an accessory

Putting a collar on your dog is essential for his safety, identification and comfort. It’s also a way of expressing your style and offering your companion a refined, long-lasting accessory.

With MAURICE, we’ve made the collar an essential part of everyday dog life, combining French quality craftsmanship and sophisticated design without compromising on safety and well-being.

At MAURICE, we offer dog collars made from high-quality, durable and comfortable leathers. The advantage of a top-of-the-range leather dog collar is its durability. We also prefer vegetable-tanned leather in direct contact with the skin, and avoid all harmful chemical substances in contact with the hair. Our buckles are made of brass and will not rust. Our high quality leathers soften slightly over time for even greater comfort, but without compromising on strength.
