The Boss Collar – Embossed Leather Edition
Our Proven Standard. Elevated Presence. Built to Lead From the Front.
The Boss Collar takes everything you already trust about our Criterion Padded Agitation Collar and elevates it with our premium pre-finished embossed leather options. Instead of painted or stained finishes, this collar features high-end embossed leathers that deliver bold texture, deep visual character, and a finished look straight off the bench.
Built for working dogs that demand durability while standing out visually, the Boss Collar is designed for daily wear while remaining fully capable for agitation, protection work, and high-drive training sessions. This collar balances rugged performance, structure, and clean visual appeal — with a premium finish that looks as strong as it performs.
Leather Construction & Structure
Built using nearly 15oz (¼ inch) American-made veg-tan leather, this collar delivers extreme durability, structure, and longevity. Every Boss Collar is built with real working conditions in mind — from patrol to sport to everyday wear.
The main body is finished using one of our pre-finished embossed leather options, giving you:
-
Deep texture and visual depth
- Consistent professional finish
-
Increased scratch and wear resistance compared to paint
-
Multiple pattern options to match your dog, department, or personal style
Each collar is glued, stitched, and reinforced to ensure long-term structural integrity.
Handle Option
The Boss Collar can be ordered with or without a handle depending on your working needs.
-
With handle: Added control during agitation and close work, quick grab capability in high-drive situations
-
Without handle: Clean, low-profile everyday wear while maintaining the same strength and structure
Padding & Comfort
The Boss Collar is built with a ¼" foam padding core wrapped in durable Napa lambskin — keeping your partner’s comfort and neck protection in mind during long wear, training, and real work.
