Coghlan's Bear Bell with Magnetic Silencer

I bought these bells for my two sight hound dogs to wear on their collars.They give a great audible warning to wildlife,in particular rabbits, that they are on their way ! Also helps me to locate my dogs when they have gone 'off piste' in the woods ! Sight hounds aren't always easy !The bear bells are well made with a velcro strap and useful magnet which folds down against the bell to 'silence' it. The actual bell is bigger than I thought, being the size of a smallish walnut. I have used falconry bells in the past, but these 'Coghlans' bells are more substantial and hopefully will last longer.I can't believe that they came all the way from the U.S.A. at such a reasonable price.Excellent service too.

I use these bells for my German Pointers who got into the habbit of finding deer in the woods and then giving chase, lucky they will always break the chase when i use a dog whistle. These bells stop the need for that as they give the deer enought notice to hide or move on and since the dogs have had the bells on their collars they have not been able to find a single deer. The bells are well made and make a good sound (as long as this does not bother your dogs which it doesnt seem to with mine). A few people have said they lost the bells after a couple of days due to the velcro coming undone - I got round this by glueing the velcro fasten together and then i just thread the collor through the loop of the bell when I'm taking to dog out. My dogs wear these everytime they go out now and I have had a lot of comments from people saying what a good idea it is as it gives the wild life a chance when walking such quick dogs. Plus the beaty of these is when I get back to the car you just pull the magnetic tab over the bells and they cant ring anymore so they dont annoy you while driving. Very good product.

I use this bell on my guide dog, so I know where he is and can hear when he's getting up to no good in the kitchen! The bell is perfect for this (I use a couple) but unfortunately the velcro doesn't last long; after a couple of months the bells tend to fall off his collar, and as I can't see it's difficult to find them. As other reviewers have said, the dodgy velcro issue can be solved using superglue, and thereafter removing the bell by threading it off the collar. That's a bit of a faff, but worth it to know where your dog is.

Bought for someone who is half blind, so they could hear where their dog wasExcellent

I use this instead of bell on my MTB, it works pretty great and I don't seem to get the stink eye that some walkers like to give bell users 😆

The bell is loud and you can hear your dog from quite a distance which is great.On advice from a fellow dog walker, I superglued the velcro as the velcro would not be strong enough to hold a busy dog - sadly the bell came off even with superglue after two walks and now lost.

The bear bells are brilliant, I have finally found a stronger bell for my Labrador to wear when out on country walks as I was given advice by locals that the sound vibration from the bell prevents my dog getting bitten by any snakes basking in the summer sunshine!! I have tried large falconry bells but the constant movement makes them slowly open up and break. These bells are made of sterner stuff and hopefully will stand the test of time. Would definitely recommend to all dog owners. Well worth the money and if the ringing gets to you they come with a little magnet strap that holds back the pea!! Absolutely brilliant

I bought these for myself and my husband to wear around the house so that newly our blind dog could know where we are, especially when moving around and between rooms. He has been much more settled since wearing the bells as he is able to track us. Very pleased with them.
