Martingales are for Safety

Walk your dog safely and easily with a martingale dog collar. Also known as a Greyhound collar or a limited slip collar, a martingale tightens when your dog pulls on his leash. Fortunately, a martingale only gets a little bit smaller and then stops, saving your dog from the danger of choking or damage to his windpipe that can be caused by using collars that slip or choke.

A martingale collar works by having two loops. One loop fits over your dog’s head and the other attaches to your leash. In this way, the collar can only get somewhat tighter. A properly-fitted martingale can’t choke your dog.

How can you know if a martingale is the right collar for your dog? If your dog has slipped out of his properly-fitted buckle collar while walking on a leash, he probably has a narrow head and would benefit from wearing a martingale. No matter how much your dog pulls on his leash, even if he stops short mid-walk, he won’t slip out of a properly-adjusted martingale.

Martingale collars are easy to put on, which makes them great for the dog that is so excited to go, go, go that he can’t stay still for you to buckle and snap. Just slip the martingale over your dog’s head, attach a leash, and you’re off! Many people leave their leash attached to the martingale at all times so that they can have it all together for quick trips outdoors. Slip it over the dog’s head to walk, then slip it off and hang it up so it’s ready for your next outing. You can even purchase a martingale leash-and-collar combo for easy use.

You don’t have to sacrifice style to have the safety and ease of using a martingale. Martingales come in many designer dog collar styles. It’s easy to find matching leashes too.
