Not all collars are created equal. At High Tail Hikes, we know that every dog - and every guardian - has unique needs. That’s why we handcraft a range of BioThane® collars that balance durability, safety, and comfort. Whether you’re hiking the trails, splashing at the beach, or just lounging at home, there’s a collar in our lineup that’s the perfect fit.

Here’s a guide to help you find yours.

Everyday Essentials

Classic Brass Collar
A timeless staple, our Classic Brass Collar pairs genuine BioThane® with solid brass hardware. Rust resistant and long lasting, with a classic look. It’s an ideal everyday collar for dogs who live active lives but still appreciate a polished look. Available with an optional keeper strap to keep the extra collar material in place and add a pop of color. 

Small Dog Brass Collar
Built with the same attention to detail as our Classic Brass Collars, but in a slimmer ⅝” width for smaller pups. Available with an optional keeper strap to keep the extra collar material in place and add a pop of color. 

Sport (Quick Release buckle) Collar
For dogs who love adventure! We pair a tough Duraflex® quick release buckle with sleek black hardware. Lightweight yet tough, our Sport Collars are perfect for adventure dogs and guardians who need gear that keeps up. Single color design. 

Adventure Ready Custom Collars

O Ring Collars (Classic Brass + Sport Quick Release buckle)
Same design as our Classic Brass and Sport Collars, but with a built in O Ring opposite the buckle to add versatility. The O Ring is designed to sit at the back of the neck. Use the O Ring to clip a leash, safety strap, or ID tags. Available in single color and two tone designs. 

ID Tag Collars (Classic Brass + Sport)
Same design as our Classic Brass and Sport Collars, but with a custom ID tag built straight into the collar. No more jangly tags, or tags that fall off! 

Our Brass ID tag collar is built with solid brass hardware and a solid brass tag, while our Sport ID tag collars are built with a Duraflex® quick release buckle, sleek black hardware, and a stainless steel ID tag. Add up to 4 lines of text to your tag in one of four custom fonts! Available in single color and two tone designs. 

Fi Series 3/3+ Collars

For dogs who roam or guardians who want peace of mind, our Fi Series 3/3+ compatible collars seamlessly integrate the Fi Series 3/3+ GPS tracker with the strength of BioThane®. 

Fi unit is sold separately through www.tryfi.com. 

Brass Integrated + Sport Integrated Designs

With our “Integrated” designs, the Fi unit is built directly into the collar and sits flush against your dog’s neck. Made with the same high quality hardware as our Classic Brass and Sport Collars. Available in single color and two tone designs. 

Brass Layered + Sport Layered Designs

With our “Layered” Design, the Fi Series 3/3+ unit sits on top of the collar band and does not make direct contact with your pup’s skin.* Made with the same high quality hardware as our Classic Brass and Sport Collars. Choose your main collar band color, as well as an accent color of your choice for the Fi unit end link holders. 

With multiple build options, you can choose the look and function that fit your dog’s lifestyle best - while knowing the tracker stays secure and your collar stays strong.

Sizing Your Dog For a Collar

Collar sizing is not universal and different collar types have different size ranges due to the built in hardware. 

It is critical that you properly size/measure your dog for a collar, and check our size charts carefully to make sure you are selecting the right size. 

If you have questions about collar sizing or need a custom collar size not shown on the chart, please Contact Us.
