What size straps should I get?

For cord storage and charger cord organization, the 12-inch straps are a good fit. The 24-inch straps work well for buckets, packs, trail bikes, water sports, coolers, and larger gear. Hoss Straps can also be linked together for more coverage.

Can I mix and match the strap and buckle colors?

Yes. Hoss Straps are designed so customers can remove straps and mix color combinations across straps and buckles.

Are these waterproof, weatherproof, and saltwater proof?

Yes. Hoss Straps are designed to be waterproof and weatherproof, including use in saltwater, water sports, fishing, and harsh outdoor environments.

Why are Hoss Straps better than bungee cords?

Hoss Straps use a proprietary buckle that clicks into place and locks a hold position, unlike bungee cord hooks that can slip as gear moves. The straps are waterproof, UV resistant, and built for outdoor use.

Why are Hoss Straps better than zip ties?

Hoss Straps are reusable and built for heavier duty applications than a typical zip tie. Their materials, curved buckle design, and smooth release are made for repeated use in real outdoor conditions.

What keeps the dog collars from overtightening?

The aluminum D-ring clicks into the collar strap slots and sits directly against the buckle. Once fitted, the D-ring helps prevent the buckle from tightening further while keeping a consistent fit.

What is the D-ring made of?

The D-rings are made from high-grade aluminum and powder coated for weather resistance.

Do these straps really hold up?

Hoss Straps reports many thousands of straps in use with less than one tenth of one percent issues, including saltwater use. The company offers a one-year warranty.

Will you offer longer size straps?

Yes. Hoss Straps is testing other products and strap lengths and plans to release them when performance standards are met.

How do I make a return or exchange?

Contact Hoss Straps customer service through the Contact page or Returns/Exchanges page with the order number and shipping zip code.

How long is the warranty?

Hoss Straps products include a one-year limited warranty. Warranty details and claim instructions are available on the Warranty page.

Where can I find warranty information?

Warranty details and instructions for filing a warranty claim are available at https://www.hossstraps.com/pages/warranty.

Professional Collar Cleaning Between Dogs and Sessions

Cleaning between dogs and sessions should remove dirt and biological residue without mixing device parts, hiding damage, or using chemicals the collar or receiver maker has not approved. This clean training collar between dogs care guide is for facilities and professionals managing shared environments. It shows what to clean, inspect, dry, or remove from use. Do not treat any collar as care-free.

drying	Check drying before use. Note any change during the job.

Care steps: Professional Collar Cleaning Between Dogs and Sessions

Separate the strap, adapter, and electronic device only as their instructions allow.
Remove visible dirt before applying any approved cleaning method.
Avoid unapproved solvents, heat, and soaking of electronics.
Dry components completely before storage or reassignment.
Record damage found during cleaning.

Use the steps in order. Recheck soil removal when the coat, weather, task, or gear changes. Record shared wet gear before another handler uses the gear.

When to remove the collar from use

Stop when you find shared wet gear, unapproved disinfectants, submerging electronics without permission, and cleaning that conceals cracks or wear. Keep the dog under safe control. Check the gear and the dog's skin. Record why you stopped.

If a receiver is used, treat shared wet gear and unapproved disinfectants as gear problems. Do not try to fix them with a training change. Remove the gear and check the dog. Follow the device maker's fit and setup steps before reuse.

Questions about clean training collar between dogs

Can a receiver and strap be cleaned the same way?

Not necessarily. Follow the separate care instructions for the strap, adapter, and electronic device.

Why inspect while cleaning?

Clean surfaces make cuts, deformation, corrosion, and loose parts easier to see.

When can cleaned gear return to use?

Only after it is dry, correctly reassembled, inspected, and assigned to the right dog.
