What is a Martingale Dog Collar?

A martingale collar does not open up, the way a traditional buckle collar does, but instead slips over the dog’s head. The leash attaches to a ring on the small loop. When the leash pulls, the smaller loop pulls taught, closing the collar so that it will not slip off. The beauty of this design is that while the collar can be pulled snug enough to contain escape artists and large- necked / small-headed dogs like greyhounds and pugs, it does not cinch up so much that it chokes the dog – hence it is also known as a limited slip collar. Martingale collars are not training collars, they are just another option in everyday doggy neck-wear. I think these collars are great - they are much more secure for my boy who loves to back out of his regular collars.
