Working Dog Collar with Tie-Up Chain
A waterproof PVC collar with a galvanised tie-up chain shackled straight onto a High Profile D-ring. Clip it to the fence, gate or ute and get on with the job. Handmade in Orange, NSW.
If you run working dogs, you know the routine. You pull up at the yards, the shed or the trial ground, and you go looking for something to tie the dog up with. A bit of rope from the back of the ute. A length of baling twine. An old chain that's been rusting in the toolbox since last winter. It works, sort of, until the rope's soaked through, the twine's chewed, or the knot's let go.
The other option was to hunt around for a proper collar with a chain already on it. We looked too. What we found was either hard to get hold of, made from leather or stitched webbing that doesn't last in the wet, or priced like it was made for show dogs, not working ones.
So we made our own. We saw a gap and filled it: a tough, waterproof working collar with the tie-up chain already fitted, made properly, and priced so you can put one on every dog in the team.

Built to Last on a Working Dog
Working dogs are hard on gear. They swim dams, push through scrub, roll in whatever they find, and ride in the back of the ute in all weather. Nylon soaks it all up, starts to smell within a week and frays at the stitching. Leather cracks and goes stiff once it's been wet a few times.
Our collars are made from waterproof PVC-coated webbing. It doesn't absorb water, mud or manure, so it doesn't rot or stink, and it cleans up with a hose. Every collar is riveted, not stitched, because stitching is the first thing to let go under load. Since we started, we've had zero returns, and that's the standard this collar is built to.
Waterproof PVC
No soaking up water, mud or sweat. No rot, no smell. Hose it off and it's done.
Riveted, Not Stitched
No stitching to fray, rot or pull apart. The hardware is riveted through the webbing.
310kg Rated Webbing
Medium, Large and XL use our 25mm webbing, rated to a 310kg breaking load.
High Profile D-Ring
A raised, D-shaped ring riveted to the collar. It stands up off the webbing, so the chain sits clean and is easy to clip.
Galvanised Chain
4 gauge galvanised steel chain, so it holds up to wet weather, can't be chewed through like rope, and won't rot.
Shackled On
The chain is fitted to the D-ring with a D-shackle, not tied or crimped, with a snap clip on the other end for the fence, gate or ute.

"We absolutely love them! I ordered 4 collars and chains and a ute tie up and we received them within 6 days. They work a charm and look absolutely amazing too might i add! Our crew love them 🤩"

The Chain: Simple, Strong, Ready to Go
The tie is 4 gauge galvanised steel chain, fitted with a D-shackle and a snap clip on the working end. It's sized to the collar: the chain matches the collar length, plus about 7cm for the shackle and clip. So a 40cm collar gets a 47cm tie and a 70cm collar gets a 77cm tie. A small dog isn't dragging a long chain, and a big dog isn't short of room. Galvanising protects the steel from rust, so it copes with wet dogs, dewy mornings and being left on the ute. Unlike rope or twine, a chain won't soak up water, rot or get chewed through while you're not looking.
Because it's shackled straight onto the collar's High Profile D-ring, there's nothing to tie and nothing to lose. The dog arrives at the yards already wearing its tie. Clip it on, and it stays put until you're ready to work.

Where It Earns Its Keep
- At the yards and shearing shed: clip the dog to a rail while you're drafting or between runs.
- On the ute: clip on at the tray when you stop, without hunting for a rope.
- At dog trials and sales: tie up near the truck or the gate while you wait your turn.
- Training young dogs: teach them to stand tied and settled while the older dogs work.
- Around the house paddock: a quick tie-up at the gate or fence while you're busy.
Use it sensibly
The chain is for short, supervised tie-ups: a dog clipped to a fence, gate or ute while you're working nearby. Keep an eye on a tied dog, and don't leave them where they can jump or fall and hang off the chain. For travelling on an open ute, use a proper ute tie set to the right length for your tray.

Why We Made It Affordable
We're a small family business in Orange, NSW, and plenty of our customers run more than one dog. A working collar isn't a fashion accessory. It's a tool, and it should be priced like one. We kept the chain collar at a price where you can fit out the whole team, not just your best dog, without cutting corners on what it's made from.
Every one is measured, cut, punched and riveted by hand in our workshop. It's the same build quality as the rest of our range, with 320+ five-star reviews behind it.
Chain Collar FAQs
What is the chain made of?
4 gauge galvanised steel chain, fitted to the collar's High Profile D-ring with a D-shackle and finished with a snap clip.
How long is the chain?
It's sized to the collar: the collar length plus about 7cm for the shackle and clip. That's about 47cm on a Small, 57cm on a Medium, 67cm on a Large and 77cm on an XL. If you need it longer or shorter, contact us before you order and we'll make it to suit.
Can I buy the collar without the chain?
Yes. Choose "No" under "Add a Chain Tie" for the collar on its own.
Is the collar waterproof?
Yes. The PVC-coated webbing doesn't absorb water, so it won't rot or smell. Rinse it under the tap or hose it off.
Can my dog travel on the ute tied with the chain?
The chain is designed for short tie-ups while you're nearby. For travel on an open ute, use a ute tie adjusted to your tray so your dog can't reach the edge.

Great quality, quick delivery.
Thanks heaps! Glad you’re happy with the quality and it got to you quick 🐾
I am super happy and impressed with my recent order! I ordered 2 x 1.5m leads and 2 x 10m long lines... Best of both worlds! Perfect for our around the streets walks and market wanders... But also the option to enjoy some more slack at the beach or bushwalking! So many beautiful colours to pick from and incredibly quick and helpful responses from the team via their Facebook page. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be ordering some more colours in the future! 🩵🐾🩷
Sounds like you’ve got every outing covered, from a wander round the markets to a good sniff out bush! We’re glad we could help on Facebook. You’ll have to let us know which colours you go for next 🩵🐾
Amazing quality and cute colours
So glad you love the colours and how well they’re made! 🩵
This is the second collar we own. This time we are puppy testing it! It’s is great not annoying on his neck or being chewed. Have the whole orange collection and they are just stunning!
Will be buying every size as our pup grows up.
The whole orange collection! Your little fella must look a treat in it 🧡 Glad the collar’s passed the puppy test and he’s happy wearing it. We’ve got his next size covered when he’s ready! 🐾
We absolutely love them! I ordered 4 collars and chains and a ute tie up and we received them within 6 days. They work a charm and look absolutely amazing too might i add!
our crew love them🤩
How good! Bet your crew looks pretty sharp in their new collars 🤩 Glad it all landed nice and quick and the ute tie’s doing the job! 🐾
Very good quality collars. You would spend similar money on Chinese crap at Big W or a pet shop but they’re nowhere near the quality of these collars. Great to see something is still made in Australia. Thank you
Cheers, mate! For that money, you might as well get a collar made right here in Orange that’s built to cop a bit of abuse. Thanks for backing Aussie-made! 🐾
Such great collars!! Perfect for all dogs and such fun colours to suit every dogs personality!
Love the photos! Looks like you picked just the right colours for your crew. Thanks for sharing them with us 🐾
Discovered this company on Facebook, have had two orders, they deliver quickly and are well priced. I love supporting a regional business and these guys are just that. They have a great colour range and their collars and leads are well made. Delivery to rural areas within the week. Highly recommend A+
An A+ made our day! It means a lot that you’ve come back for a second order and chosen to back our little business here in Orange. Glad both orders made it out to you nice and quick 🩵🐾
I found the 80cm leads are way too short. However I have been able to exchange for the 1.5m lead. Thanks to Jacaranda collars for prompt service.
The extra long training lead I ordered is good and the green is a great colour.
We were more than happy to swap the lead and get you sorted with the right length for your little one. Lovely to hear you’re happy with the green training lead too 💜 Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to get the right products lined up for you.
Loved the collar and lead! Currently buying another one, now for my partner and one to keep in my car. Great quality!
Not only are these Collars top shelf, recently their distinct colours, in my case Teal, helped identify my dog who had been missing for over 12 hours. If.you haven't yet bought stuff from Jacaranda Collars, it's your turn, do it!
Mate, I’m so glad you got your dog home safe. Twelve hours is a long wait, and that teal collar really came in handy, hey? Now it’s your turn to shout the dog a treat 😉
The catching lead look a fantastic love the vibrant colours great quality so thankyou very much 😊.
Bought the seatbelt ties. They didn't fit in the polaris buggy plugs but perfect for the ute. Love the colours 🎨
I wish I had found these puppy collars earlier! Finally we can tell them apart! The tiny string collars from the Vet disappeared among the fur. Now we can see what pup is greeting you first every time or attacks your toes. A wonderful soft but sturdy product.
Great service, fast delivery and answered all my pesky questions! Excellent quality leads and collars
I have just moved to the coast where I walk the beach most days with my greyhound! She loves the water but cannot be off leash. This long waterproof leash is absolutely perfect for trotting in the waves!
Lightweight, but not TOO light, great colour too! Thanks so much!
I found jacaranda collars at Dubbo show! Bought 4 items,the BEST collars I have ever had. Soft but durable,keep there colour perfectly,don’t get hard and brittle after a few months of wear and tear!
I seen them again at Nyngan ag expo,a few friends bought some things,nothing but good commmets.
Now my entire working crew (8 kelpies) are sporting jacaranda collars!
We LOVE THEM!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
