Our Pool-A-Paloozacollar now comes in a martingale collar!
Martingale collars, also called no-slip or limited-slip collars, are a type of dog collar that provides more control than a typical flat collar to prevent dogs from backing or slipping out. They look a lot like a flat collar, but about a third of the length of the collar is actually a smaller loop of fabric with a D-ring attached.
A martingale collar is NOT a choke collar as they can only tighten to the width of the dogs neck and not more, unlike a choke collar.
What breeds should use martingale collars?
Martingale collars are sometimes called “greyhound collars” because they’re designed for dogs whose heads are narrower than their necks. They’re a popular choice for Greyhounds, Whippets, Salukis, and other slim-headed breeds.
But martingale collars are useful for more than just sighthounds! They’re a good choice for any dog who tends to back out of their collar, or for people who want a little more control of the leash without putting their dog in harm’s way. In fact, many rescue group use martingales as “back-up collars,” placing them alongside flat collars for extra security on walks.
