Martingale collars for dogs (also referred to as the Greyhound dog collar or the Whippet collar) were to begin with created for the Sighthound breed. The heads of these types of dogs are actually smaller than their neck, which means that they can quickly slip out of a more conventional dog collar.

These types of dog collars have subsequently become more prevalent amongst other canine owners, many favoring these over choke chains or buckle collars because they are both equally safe and effective.

So, just how do Martingale dog collars work? These dog collars are made up of 2 loops which sit comfortably around the pup’s neck, and only tighten in the event that the puppy pulls on the lead. Seeing as there are no buckles or rings involved, these particular dog collars can not catch on the pet’s hair or scratch them and therefore are quite safe to use.

Since Martingale dog collars aren’t required to fit flawlessly around your pet’s neck, it is possible to make a choice from a broader array of sizes. In reality, a larger measurement could be more desirable as it will both sit more pleasantly on your pet’s neck, and if he is still a young puppy then he can grow into it.
