My vet was surprised at how much our dog 'Gaff' improved after we bought the collar.

Might be worth asking your vet?
Good to hear of Gaff's improvement, Wendybird.
We bought a magentic colar for Toby a while back, and it has helped him quite a bit. At the top of our road is a field, which has a low fence going across. Toby used to crawl under it, but since getting him the colar, on some days he's been able to jump over it.

Toby quite possibly could have arthritis, as he tends to be worse first thing in the morning, and them improves as the day goes on. By the evening, when it's walk time, he's in mad collie mode, and runs around everywhere.

I'm taking Tobes to the vets next week, and hopefully all will be okay for him.
