Very secure buckle
The metal buckle provides a very secure hold, making it perfect for strong dogs.
The Top Rope™️ Collar offers strength and style with durable, colorfast Reflective Tubelok™️ webbing and our metal side-release Talon Buckle™️. The Talon Buckle's weight conveniently positions the V-ring clip at the top of the dog's neck for quick leash clip-in. Its sturdy construction and the need to engage both release triggers to open creates positive retention and peace of mind. It's packed full of Ruffwear’s signature collar features: an aluminum V-ring, a separate ID tag attachment point, and a silicone tag silencer. Integrated reflectivity helps boost visibility in low-light conditions. What's new: Recycled content in the webbing, better strength and retention, and the Talon Buckle™️ is 21% stronger than the previous version.

The metal buckle provides a very secure hold, making it perfect for strong dogs.
I found the metal buckle incredibly difficult to open, even with both hands. It's supposed to be secure, but it's almost impossible to get off quickly if needed. My old collar had a simple plastic buckle that was much easier to manage.
Purchased the 14"-20" Basalt Gray for my terrier mix, and it's incredibly well-made. The materials feel durable, and the reflective feature is genuinely effective. The ID tag attachment point is a thoughtful addition, keeping the main ring free.
My dog pulls quite a bit, so finding a collar that feels truly secure without chafing is important. This one in Blue Pool is fantastic; the material is smooth, and the buckle has never accidentally come undone. It's a noticeable upgrade from her previous collar.
This collar is definitely robust, and the Basalt Gray color looks sharp on my German Shepherd. The metal buckle feels super secure, which is great for peace of mind. My only complaint is that the buckle itself is pretty substantial; it seems a little heavy on her neck compared to her old fabric one.
