Because a Martingale Dog Collar provides COMFORT, CONTROL and SAFETY!

A Martingale Dog Collar fits comfortably loose when not in use, so your dog will thank you. A Martingale provides greater control while on lead, without the choking effect of a slip collar. The Martingale’s design prevents your dog from “backing out“ of his collar, so it is much safer than a traditional collar.

Martingale collars are also known as Greyhound Collars or Humane Choke Collars. The Martingale Dog Collar was originally designed for sighthounds because their necks are larger than their heads and they can often slip out of traditional collars. These collars have gained popularity among other breed owners in the recent past with many trainers now recommending them instead of choke chains or choke collars.

Martingales are wider than standard collars and are designed with two loops. A large loop that slips over the dog’s head and a smaller control loop where the lead is attached. Properly fitted, the martingale will fit comfortably loose when not in use. While on lead, the control loop tightens, causing the collar to fit securely around the dog’s neck. The extra width of the collar helps to evenly distribute the pressure to the dog’s neck. This helps to prevent constriction and collapse of the trachea, a common problem in toy breeds.
