Caveats on the Martingale Dog Collar

lways remove martingale collars when your dog is out of your sight because the collar can snag on other items and harm your pet.
For those dogs who consistently pull on the leash, you may want to add a harness (along with the collar) for better control.
When your dog is outside playing or nosing around the yard, you may wish to clip a quick-release buckle on the collar because these sit loosely on the neck and can be snagged on fences or tree branches.
Retractable leashes may be popular, but they limit your control with your dog and may interfere with how the collar tightens. In other words, your dog may have difficulty in training because of the inconsistent tension he or she receives from the retractable leash and the collar.
Never use this collar to tether your dog to an object. And as mentioned before, supervise your dog while he or she is wearing this collar.
If you have to crate your dog, knowing he or she will be out of your sight, remove the collar. It’s possible that the collar could snag part of the crate.
To ensure your dog’s safety, avoid hanging tags from the d-ring on the short loop. You may hang tags from the slides or on an additional d-ring.
