Rickard's DD683 Dog Bell, Nickel Plated

I got this bell, along with a few others for my dogs, to attach to my hiking pole to let the bears know I am in their vicinity. Most bells are not loud enough but this one is perfect!

We have Setters and live on a farm. Wanted to be able to hear the dogs even if they were not visible. Have used these bells for almost a year and have been thrilled. Unless the dogs are on point, you can hear them. It is great for training when they are focused on something other than you, and you can redirect them as you know where they are.We put them on the dogs collars when they go out as the “ding-a-ling” is a pleasant noise it is too loud in the house.These collars have been through the woods, tall grass, mud rolls, streams and even the pool and are going strong.

Great sound and scared of wild pigs when dog working quail. Seems to make the quail hold tighter. Been getting longer range points. Can hear from 200 yards with my bad hearing if no hills are blocking. Nice tone and great price!

Sound is good as you can hear it for a distance and rings as it should. I purchased it to keep track of where my dogs are in heavy cover while hunting. On my yellow lab especial it is hard as she blends with fall colors especially corn or tall food plots, switch grass/crp etc.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this bell to use as part of a Halloween costume for one of my dogs. See attached pictures and video 🙂! Apologies in advance for the video because I lose my entire darn mind at cuteness. At the end of the video you can hear the bell ring.The bell seems to be well made and since Halloween is over, we now hang the bell on the back door handle so the dogs can swat at it to let us know when they need to go out.

Since it has a nice leather strap it will not fall off unlike the cheaper bells that velcro around your dogs collar. Since my huskies hike off leash I like be able to hear them when they hike in the tall grass. So far my dogs have put it through some abuse including rolling in mud, swimming, running fast through bushes and tall grass and this bell stays on and you can actually hear it from 100 ft away in the forest!! It has a nice medium pitch to it and isn't annoyingly loud. Highly recommend this bell for anyone that hikes with their dogs off leash. It's a must!

This is a perfect bell for hiking, biking, and backpacking with my dog -it’s loud enough that I can hear that she’s close by without having my eyes on her 100% of the time. Unlike other bells, the leather strap holds up great. However, I’ve already gone through two of them. The last one lasted only 4.5 months with an average of around 3 hours of use each week. The loop holding the clapper on has failed with both of the broken bells.

I got this bell on a recommendation on a Hiking with Dogs group after running into a pack of coyotes while taking my dog out on trail. This bell is really loud and works well. We aren't surprising any wildlife anymore! Since it is pretty loud I actually attach it to myself, rather than my dog because I think it would hurt her ears (She wears another smaller bell). Good for anybody who loves the outdoors but doesn't love surprise predators!
