A martingale collar is a designed to provide more control over your dog without the choking that occur with a traditional slip collar. They are especially effective for dogs whose necks are bigger than their heads, such as Greyhounds and Whippet. Because they are safer for your dog than slip collars, many breeders, vets and trainers recommend them.

The martingale collar has two loops. The large loop is placed around the dogs neck and adjusted to fit comfortably. When correctly fitted, the collar will be comfortably loose when not in use. To use with a leash, simply clip the leash to the D ring on the small loop. If your dog tries to pull its head out of the collar only the smaller loop will tighten causing the collar to pull snug on the dog’s neck without choking. When you release the tension on the leash, the collar relaxes.
