Dog Coat Hood vs Snood — Why Hoods Collapse

A great question came in about making a dog coat hood function like a snood — especially for long-eared breeds. The main issue? Hoods falling over the eyes. In this Fit Clinic, I’m breaking down why that happens and what actually controls hood placement. We’ll look at: • Why tightening at the neck doesn’t stop forward collapse • The difference between circumference control and placement control • How brow-level tension changes hood balance • Why excess depth causes tipping • How drawstring placement affects the peak I’ll use a raincoat hood as a structural example to show how multi-point adjustment controls placement and prevents collapse. If you’re working on a hood, snood, or raincoat design, bring your questions and your pattern ideas.
