Modern Icon 1.5” Rigid Collar
The main body of the Operator 1 1/2″ Rigid Collar is mil-spec Heavy Scuba Webbing. On top of the first layer, has been sewn 1 1/2″ mil-spec Webbing rated at 1,000 lbs as well as 1″ mil-spec webbing rated at 4,000 lbs to stiffen the design and add the additional strength and support required by our most demanding customers.
With all the same properties as 2″ wide rigid collar, this collar has been reduced in width to 1 1/2″ for those who have less space on their dogs necks due to the addition of other collars and training aids. The rigid design of the collar lends itself to use as an agitation collar and for general training.
The ICS Klick-Lock Buckle creates a redundant fail safe. This means both side buttons have to be depressed to release the buckle. To further prevent the system failing or unintentionally opening the buttons are recessed which prevents accidental unclipping.
This tactical collar is also suitable for wear and use on a daily basis giving the dog comfort and reliability with great style. It can also be used as an everyday collar on any breed of dog. Trust us the dog will never need another collar – built to stand the test of time.

A couple of my best mentors in the dog world.
@jhschettler from GAK9 and Anna from Follow dogs/GAK9 UK were both huge influences getting me into tactical tracking with dogs.
Originally, Sig was bought purely as a Sport dog, but after trying Mantrailing as a way to work Sig in drive through environments she struggled with, I fell in love with the game of tracking.
Contrasted to the precision and control in sport, while trailing the dog has freedom to use its full God-given capabilities. The relationship transforms from leader and subordinate to a team working to solve a difficult task together.
I think it`s a change for life now that I`ve been bitten by the bug for trailing, and I`m sure the next dog will be starting its journey on this skill from day 1!

When I founded Snakeshead K9 my mission was simple: put the best-built gear in the hands of UK handlers.
A decade engineering consumer and defence products taught me two things:
1️⃣ Spec sheets can lie.
2️⃣ Real-world testing confirms.
Every product that reaches our shelves survives my own gauntlet, drop tests, pull tests, soak tests, bite tests, until only the best remain. Engineering first principles help eradicate products that are flawed by design, but real world testing brings out the gems!
@moderniconk9’s Rigid Collar is the benchmark.
• Leaf-spring rigidity spreads impact, keeps trachea and carotids protected.
• ISC Klick-Lock buckle holds 1,800kg = won’t pop under pressure.
• Mil-Spec webbing, corrosion-proof hardware, zero-slop finish.
Plenty of collars look “tactical.” Most fold like wet noodles when the dog hits the line. This post breaks down why rigidity matters, how bad gear blood-chokes your partner, and the exact standards every rival must beat to make it into our store.
Swipe in, compare your current collar to the metrics that matter, and decide if your dog is wearing armour, or an accident waiting to happen.

What happens when you get enthralled by the game of hunting people with dogs!
Without jumping into all the titles only on Kindle, these are some of the best books I have on tracking (with and without dogs).
Anything by Jeff Scettler is a must-have if you are serious about hunting people with your dog.
Also a really big fan of the book by @perry.mcgee on operational tracking with and without dogs. An absolutely comprehensive guide, and if I could only have 1 book to get me started, this would be it!
I`d love to know any other gems people might have for learning this skill?
Tactical tracking has and always will be my first love in dog training. Bitework and OB are exciting, but nothing meets the feeling of teamwork as you and your dog tackle terrain and challenges through a difficult track.
The uncertainty as you second guess yourself. The realisation that you are not fully in control. The acceptance that the only way to really be successful is to trust your dog... it`s addictive.
Nothing in dog training challenges your ego and makes you ask endless questions quite the way tracking/trailing does.

My Fur Missile locked onto the decoy at today`s bitework training session.
The @combatsystems full spec tactical harness is an awesome bit of kit, and is now available in the UK through Snakeshead K9. We stock only gear that has been tested to the Nth degree, in every possible scenario, to make sure handlers have gear they can rely on.
Today, the ventilated side panels were vital to keeping my dog cool as she worked hard in the heat!
Here`s my thoughts on one of the topics that come up often when chatting to people considering their first working dog.... The age old battle... Which is better?!

Living that Thug Life with Sigrid...
#SnakesheadK9
Ready for a full day tracking and filming with the Sigrid! Justbin the process of testing out a load of long lines and making my mind up. I`ve been a hard-core fan of leather lines for a long time, only switching to synthetic when it`s exceptionally wet/muddy. I just like the feel in had and the dynamic stretch that evolves over time and let`s you really feel the dog on the other end. Recently I`ve started playing around with premium synthetic lines again and been really impressed, especially with the offering from @niggeloh_gmbh.
Keen to hear what other people are currently using and why?
