    I have ordered from here quite a few times in the past and it has always been the best!! Quality is outstanding. This time around however it took about 6 weeks to receive the collar and leash that I ordered. (In the past it took no more than 2 weeks) Not only that but the stones aren't even centered on the collar. It's beautiful but very frustrating that I waited this long to receive a product that is not perfect as expected.

    Shiny and fancy!

    I've already purchased 3 collars from California Collar. My little Yorkie keeps growing so we have to get a bigger size. They have the best hand made leather dog collars! You can customize each collar to what you want. If you want the best for your dog children this is the spot! I actually went to the brick and mortar to get an opinion and had a great experience trying to find the right fit for my dog. Lots of options available whatever size dog you have. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

    5/8s inch round stud collar. Brass tag was my own.
    Sam A.

    High quality at a reasonable price. Went in to CCC when our Jack Russell needed a new collar about one month ago. We picked the dark brown 5/8s inch collar with rounded studs and brass hardware to match the brass tag we already had. The quality of the leather is very high and the studs feel very securely attached. I was pleased with our purchase and would recommend CCC to everyone. Update: I was so pleases with the collar that I recently went back to order a matching harness with nameplate and 5ft O-Ring lease. My order was perfect and looks amazing. Thank you!

    I can't say enough about the girls at California Collar Co. The quality and craftsmanship of their leather along with their unique style sets them apart from any other leather collar you can find for your dog. We are on our second collar (for fashion purposes only!) that is just as amazing as the first. The two collars are in daily rotation and ALWAYS big compliments when we are out. This leather is sturdy and masculine but super classy. I love the martingale chain that keeps this collar from slipping over his head. Collars are hard to fit my big guy (Boxer x Mastiff) and this is perfection. Great customer service as well! Our second collar was mailed to us and was too small and didn't quite fit over his head. I called and explained the issue, no problem. A few chain links added and the collar fit perfect. No big deal. We will continue to only wear California Collars and support a local small business that takes pride in their product.

    Moose in his Bonnie and Clyde Nameplate collar

    Our Great Dane, Moose has used nylon collars since we brought him home, mostly because he would grow out of them so fast it didn't make sense to get him a nice one only to have to throw it out 3 months later. Now that he is a year old, and that his growth has stabilized we finally felt it was time to get him a proper leather collar. I started my search on-line because my local pet shops don't carry anything even close to what I wanted. It was a bit of a frustrating search, it's challenging to find high quality product for giant breed dogs. I was very happy when I happened upon California Collar Company's website. I immediately fell in love with the Bonnie and Clyde Nameplate collar. Using their website, we were able to customize / personalize the collar by picking colors for the leather and the font for the nameplate. There was only one minor snafu with the on-line process. I received a shipping confirmation email that I didn't look at right away. When I opened it a couple of days later it said my package was out for delivery...but in a state that I don't live in and have no connection to. Uh oh!! It was before their business hours, so I wrote California Collar Co. an email, intending to follow up with a phone call once they opened for business. There was no need for a phone call, as I received an email reply right away. I was informed that I was just given the wrong tracking number, but that my collar was on it's way to the correct destination. *Phew* We had placed our order on November 29th, and received our collar on December 19th. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the collar. I love how substantial it is at 1.5 inches wide with brass hardware, and I think Moose looks absolutely regal in it. We will definitely look to California Collar Co. again when we need to replace the collar in the future, though I'm sure it will be years before he needs a new one. This one looks like it will last forever!

    You really cannot get better than California Collar Company collars. Rilee is an artist with a great eye for color. She and her small staff hand-make each collar with meticulous attention to detail and quality. You can go in to the shop and customize anything you like - adding semiprecious stones, rhinestones and studs. These collars are guaranteed for life and are mini works of art that will grace your dogs neck for years! In addition - these guys have big hearts and are rescue friendly and often donate extra collars to our rescue group. You will not find a more beautifully made, quality collar anywhere.

    I've bought a custom collar and 3 custom leashes from these guys over the past few years. They have held up really well and are stunning! The collar looks as good as the day I got it! I love, love, LOVE them & get compliments (especially on the collar) all the time. The leashes are so sturdy and well made that I had one made for my horse to use as a leadline. Can't say enough good things about their product. Highly recommended!!!

    Azula's collar.
    Tania M.

    I was on a mission to get a good quality collar for our adopted dog, Azula, when I found this company on a Google search. I had many questions and took more than 2 weeks before finally deciding to order one and a long leash for recall training. They were very patient. Even after making the collar, my kids wanted to change our dog's name and CCC was able to drill out the nameplate and attach a new one with her new name. I was extremely impressed with their patience and desire to please the customer. Not to mention the collar is BEAUTIFUL!!! It just arrived today, and I'm stunned!

    Paying in cash, I said to the cashier that, since they keep the credit card fee, could they just…read moreround off the penny. The negative reply blew up into an exchange wherein I was ultimately berated by an intrusive staffer saying that cash paying customers lose them money and, by asking for that penny, I was asking for a discount. Finishing with a supercilious smirk, she said SHE'd give me the penny. It's ok, I replied. I won't be back. Seriously. They clearly don't need the $3,000+ annually I've been dropping in there for the past several years. Perhaps they need to weed out customers? I'll be more than happy to oblige.

I have frequented this store for 20+ years, not because it was close to my home but because of the knowledgeable and polite people who worked there. The current workforce appears to have been hired simply because they have a pulse. They certainly DO NOT HAVE any knowledge when it comes to bird species in/around Santa Fe or their feeding preferences. They stand behind the cash register awaiting you arrival and money and appear to be unaffected or concerned about your needs. I've taken the time this weekend to research other businesses in Santa Fe for my seed purchases and discovered a couple of unlikely and unexpected businesses (including big box stores) with a great selection of wild bird seed at prices considerably lower than WBU, sometimes 50% less. Suggest you spend some time shopping around as I have. Stores with high prices and minimum wage employees lacking knowledge of their inventory and an unwillingness to assist me is not where I want to spend my money. Period.

    Working with Susan Has Been an Incredible Experience! We…read morehave a 6-year-old red heeler mix who had already completed basic training before we met Susan. She knew commands like sit, down, come, target, and wait, but she still had a few challenging habits we needed help with: - Barking aggressively at pedestrians while in the car - Barking at the door when people knocked or rang the bell - Pulling on walks - A few questionable encounters at the dog park that we wanted guidance on If you're familiar with the breed, you know that heelers are incredibly smart--sometimes too smart--and quite stubborn. They're energetic working dogs bred to herd cattle, not live in a city! Our dog is always pushing boundaries and needs a lot of structure and activity. When we moved to Albuquerque, we knew we needed someone experienced who could go beyond basic obedience. How We Met Susan We first met Susan at Domingo Baca Park, where she runs a weekend dog-washing service. That service alone is worth mentioning--our dog came out spotless, soft, and smelling like blueberries, with a cute bandana that matched her coat. Susan also does de-shedding, which our carpets and furniture have definitely appreciated. What stood out even more was how well Susan handled our dog. Our heeler normally hates baths, but she loves Susan. Even with her bath aversion, she always gets excited to see her, and she's become much more tolerant of grooming at home thanks to that trust. Why We Chose Susan for Training We chose Susan as our trainer for several reasons: she already had a strong bond with our dog, she clearly had extensive experience, and she is exceptionally warm, kind, and understanding. She treats every dog as if it were her own. Susan was also incredibly flexible with scheduling, which was critical for us. I'm a teacher and my wife works at the hospital, so our schedules rarely overlap. Susan met us in the evenings, at our home, and even at locations around Albuquerque that fit our training goals. For example, we practiced car-based barking scenarios in parking lots and met at local parks for socialization work. The Training Process Training with Susan felt like a masterclass in dog behavior. Her decades of experience were clear from the start. She took a structured approach that I really appreciated as a teacher: starting with a consultation to assess what our dog already knew and what our priorities were. Each session focused on just one or two skills, and she used a gradual release model: - She demonstrated the skill step by step - Walked us through it - Gave us time to practice - Provided specific, targeted feedback She also gave us homework each week, along with helpful recommendations for treats, toys, and leashes that worked well for our dog's breed and temperament. Susan always explained why we were doing what we were doing, making everything feel clear and purposeful. The Results Susan helped us address every issue we came in with: - Our dog now only barks at people outside the car when they're uncomfortably close--something I actually appreciate, living in Albuquerque. - She stays in place when visitors come to the door. - She pulls far less on walks and corrects quickly when reminded. More importantly, we feel like we understand her better now. Susan taught us to read canine body language and to respond confidently in situations like the dog park. We learned that our dog wasn't "aggressive" -- she was asserting boundaries with dogs who were acting inappropriately. That understanding has made a huge difference. Beyond Training Susan also boards dogs, and our pup has made many friends during her stays at Susan's house. She owns five dogs of her own, all of whom are well-behaved and welcoming. Ginger is a happier dog because of Susan, and we are a happier family. Susan isn't just our trainer or dog washer anymore -- she feels like part of our extended family. If you're looking for a trainer with deep expertise, a kind heart, and a thoughtful approach, Susan is the one.
