'Breaking in' a new leather collar

New collars are often quite stiff and unyielding. A smart dog will soon work out that it is easy to slide backwards out of a new collar so it is necessary to soften the leather a little before the dog wears it.

Good quality leather collars will already be quite supple. All you need to do is rub a little Skidmore's conditioning cream into the front and back of the leather to add moisture and a beeswax sealant. This will make the leather supple and water resistant and, as Skidmore's is made entirely from natural materials, it won't harm your dog.
