My 15 pound Boxer mix 4 month old puppy is popping her collar when I let her outside on her leash.?

Obviously need a stronger collar clip, but what kind where I know she won't break it? She just did this and slid down a half water drain! Luckily, she stopped just before going under the porch! I'm a wreck.

Get a nylon collar with a metal buckle and she won't break it.
Reply:my boxer didn't like his collar at first but once he got used to it he was fine so what i would do when you take him outside and he trys to take his collar off i would punish him or not give him a treat of something like that.
Reply:My dog did the same thing until we bought her a really thick leather collar. We havent had any problems since. Good luck!
Reply:You can call your vet and ask, Going to the vet would bee expensive. But your vet would knoiw.
Reply:just go to a decent pet shop and explain your problem. most decent pet shops will give you a good idea of what you need. also you could get a choke leash so you dont need a normal color and there is no way it can escape
Reply:Boxers get to be VERY big VERY strong dogs. You can not use those cheap one dollar collars on them. If it has plastic, you might as well not even waste you money. You are gonna think of me as nuts, but you need chain for her. Especially because she is a puppy and FULL of energy. Your best bet, as weird or mean as it sounds, is to either buy a heavy duty choke chain (that helps them figure out their boundaries quick when it comes to being on a leash), or go to a hard wear stare with the measurement to your dogs neck, and buy a piece of chain (not the kind you see in the stores to put your dog out on either) try getting a small size loggers chain. If you tell the guy at the hard wear store what you need the chain for (especially if you live in the south) they should know exactly what size chain to get for your puppy. To fasten it you need a D ring. You can get this from any hard wear store as well.
