Measure the biggest part of your dog's head with the measuring tape. A proper measurement here will ensure that your dog will not be able to back out of the collar.
Measure the narrowest part of your dog's neck with the tape (right behind the head). For longer-haired dogs, make sure you measure as close to the skin as you can get to ensure a proper fit.
Measure your dog's neck at the midpoint (widest part) of the neck. For dogs with a lot of hair, measure the midpoint loosely so the collar will rest comfortably on the fur.
Match your measurements with pre-manufactured collars, or have any number of pet suppliers customize a collar for your dog.
