Not as expected, at ALL.
The band of this collar is EXTREMELY shiny and therefore scuffs easily, as well as having a plastic-like feel. Our main problem with it, however, was the ring. It jingles! Because it's not directly attached to the collar but hung on a halter, it clinks against the other ring with any slight movement and it is LOUD! My partner lives in an apartment with two other people and there was simply no way to use this collar if either of them were home. We thought ordering our first collar on Amazon would be convenient...we were sadly disappointed. Ended up driving 45 minutes to our favorite sex shop to get one in person.
