I wouldn't attach it to the neck, when the head moves with respect to the neck the nose guard pushes, slides, pulls on the sensitive area.

Better to have some part hook at the back of the head or any bony protrusions on the sides or back of the head, perhaps in the vicinity of the ears.

Having owned many dogs and varying DME devices... I don't think that would work, dog would slip out of it easily. If you leave just a little slack the dog can move head without much consequence. Dog will adapt to it if it limits motion and it will likely be minor.

That would have to be a lot more custom fitted to the dog. It's not the best but the neck attachment is a lot easier. Also it seems to work just fine from the large amount of users it's gotten too, I bet the distance doesn't actually change that much.
