Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Martingale?
A martingale dog collar is designed to tighten gently when tension is applied, providing added security and control without causing discomfort.
Unlike traditional collars, it features a unique two-loop system: one main loop that sits around your dog’s neck and a smaller control loop that gently tightens when tension is applied. This prevents your dog from slipping out while providing a secure fit without choking. Martingale collars are ideal for breeds with narrow heads, like greyhounds and whippets, or dogs prone to backing out of regular collars. Available in various styles, including martingale collars with chains or buckles, these collars are perfect for everyday use and training.
How does a Martingale dog collar work?
A Martingale dog collar works by gently tightening when your dog pulls or tries to back out, thanks to its two-loop design. The main loop rests comfortably around your dog’s neck, while the smaller control loop tightens slightly under tension, creating a snug fit. This tightening is limited, ensuring it doesn’t choke your dog but provides enough feedback to discourage pulling or escaping. Whether you're using a martingale collar and lead or a martingale training collar, this innovative design offers humane and effective control during walks and training sessions.
