Ive just ordered some Blinkers for the dogs collars, to try letting them off in the dark. These can be seen for half a mile.

Has anyone tried them please??

and whats your experience of them.

The blinkers I tried last year broke witht he forse of the girls running but in saying that they was nowhere as stirdy as what yours look.

I've bought the blinking collars this year, they have LED lights all the way round the collar that flash red and can be seen for quite along way and even in the woods...it looks quite spooky when all you can see is 3 lots of blinking lights and nothing else.

I was speaking to Jill (aka Buffyrannoch) last weekend at racing and she was telling me she has these for Buffy and Toby she seemed to be very impressed with them :thumbsup: . I only saw them light in the daylight but even then they seemed quite bright. She also said she had different colours so she knows where each of them are mooching about in the dark .

Might have to get ruby one for Christmas...

Mine wear reflective armbands round their necks but last year I managed to get ones that had flashing lights.

Someone told me they could see them a long way before they got to us we were walking along the road and she was in a car. She said she saw the lights flashing way before she saw it was a dog as William had got his coat on. Never free run them with them on as our park is locked at dusk

Grace has one and its great.She has not broken it yet and have had it for 2 winters.My husband said he could see it from the car and its very bright.Brilliant in the fields in the dark,not that grace is off lead in the dark as she is too clumsy :lol: The funny bit is our one flashes red,white and blue and if you walk past a car in an unlit street it reflects off of it and looks like a mini police car (w00t)

I have got the same ones in the picture youve attached Janis, and they are great, I take my two up to the golf course in the dark after work, and I can see them everywhere, which is great for Buffy as she just runs and runs, Toby hardly leaves my side - mummys boy :wub: , unless he sees a rabbit, which is my only concern - do the lights give the rabbits a heads up, and an advantage on the dogs :- "

As Julie says in her post, i have two different coloured lights, so I know who is where :thumbsup:

Thanks for all your replies, very reassuring.

Jill, Ive got a feeling these are all the same colour, but Im not sure yet.

Cant wait to try them out now.
