Martingale Dog Collars
A martingale is a type of dog collar that provides more control over the animal without the choking effect of a traditional chain choke collar. The larger loop is slipped onto the dog's neck and a leash is then clipped to the smaller loop. Martingales are a safe alternative to choke collars. If the martingale is properly adjusted, it will tighten just to the size of the dog's neck, preventing them from backing out of their collar without choking them.
For dogs with small heads, these dogs could easily slip out of their collars. However, the martingale ensures that the collar never slips up. They are effective training collars and help reduce pulling and tugging. They are also loosely fitted and only become tight when the dog pulls on the leash.
*Martingale collars should NOT be worn all the time. Because of the martingale's tightening function, martingales can become a choking hazard if left on unattended dogs. We recommend using a regular collar if you want your dog to wear tags.*
