I am a rookie in the K-9 buisness and hope that I can get insight as I grow in the art.

Comment by Robert Clavin on April 26, 2009 at 10:14am: Hi Tim,

Welcome. I have been K-9 for over 5 years and I can't imagine doing anything else. Take your time, trust your dog, and watch what he is looking at. Good luck!

They made mine to order and adjust it, if needed. I'll post a picture of one of mine from there, with add-on reflective strips.
