Martingale collars and leashes go on over your dog's head. With a leash or your hand, Martingale Collars tighten to give greater control and reduce the risk of escape. Because it offers limited closure, it's safer than traditional choke collar. The escape proof design reduces coat damage. Martingale Collars and Leads are very popular among breeders and owners alike.

The martingale collar was designed for dogs whose necks are larger than their heads (like greyhounds, whippets, italian greyhounds, and other sighthounds); but martingale collars have gained popularity among other breed owners who prefer the gentle control of a martingale collar over a choke chain, owners of dogs who try to back out of their traditional buckle collars, and agility and flyball trainers who want a handle on their dog's collar at all times.

A martingale collar is fitted to the exact size of the dog's neck when the dog collar is in the closed position. Properly fitted, the collar will be comfortably loose when not in use. When the martingale loop is pulled, the collar should be very snug, but should not constrict the airway. If properly fitted, a martingale collar is safe to wear everyday, but if used in training as an alterative to a choke chain, the martingale collar should be adjusted to fit slightly tighter for the time of supervised training only.

The Martingale Leads and Leashes are the ideal leash/lead for short walks, long walks, dogs who squirm, and dogs who tend to back out of flat buckle collars and standard kennel leads. The Martingale Leads and Leashes are the same material as the Martingale Collar with a standard snaphook permanently attached to the end. These Leads are handy for very short walks and walks to the car or to the vet. The Leashes are great for longer walks and general use. The leash measures about 4' from end loop to snaphook and keeps the dog safely by your side. The Traffic Lead measures about 2' from handle to snaphook.
