This Gentle Martingale differs from most martingale collars in that it does not have the normal chain used to tighten it on the dog’s neck when necessary. The martingale is a type of dog collar that gives you more control over your pet without having the choking effect of a slip collar. Whether you have a puppy or an older pet, martingale collars are a great way to teach your dog not to pull while on a leash. This type of collar is also frequently preferred by owners of greyhounds, whippets or other breeds of dog that have relatively small heads in relation to their neck size. When properly fit the collar will not slip off over their head should your dog try to back out of it if startled or otherwise distracted.
A martingale collar is the correct size when it easily fits over your dog’s head yet snuggly tightens around the dog’s neck right behind the ears when pulling on the leash. When the dog is not pulling against the leash, the collar will relax to comfortably fit the pet’s neck without hanging too loosely.
Using a soft measuring tape while your dog is standing or sitting upright measure your pet’s neck to make sure the collar will properly fit. The measurement should be taken at the smallest point on your dog’s neck right behind its ears and should be comfortable but not too tight and with no added length. The adjustable portion of the collar will accommodate the additional amount needed to slip the collar over most dogs heads.
Custom color combinations are available. If you don’t see a color theme you want please contact us and we will be happy to design one that you prefer. Available colors of paracord are shown in the Gallery.
Collars are made using 550 paracord which is vey sturdy, mold and UV resistant, and washable in cold water and hung to air dry.
A word of caution, martingale collars should NOT be worn all the time as they can become a choking hazard if left on unattended dogs.
