I’ve been thinking forward to when the puppy is old enough to take for walks.
I live in rural Northumberland so much of our walks in the morning and late afternoon/evening will be along unlit roads. When I walk by myself, I either wear a jacket with fluorescent stripes or a vest over my coat with the same; I also use a head lamp and sometimes ankle straps with lights to make sure that I can be seen.
As Hodi is a, mainly, black dog he is going to be impossible for drivers to see when we’re out walking in bad light.
To that end I’ve been looking into what I can do to make him more visible; you can get jackets with fluorescent stripes on them, but I also found some collars with LEDs:
The collar I have isn’t the one I’ve linked the image to, as I couldn’t find the correct one, but it is very similar.
I actually bought three; green, blue and yellow in incrementing size. The one I have can be cut to the right size and I can move up a collar as Hodi grows.
After I bought the collars, I read a review which said the best ones for visibility are green and white. The smallest size I have is green, but I think that combined with the stuff I wear, the other colours should be fine for Hodi anyway.
