Martingale Collars vs. Choke Collars

Although martingale dog collars appear similar to choke collars, when you select the right size to use for your dog and adjust it properly, they work differently from a choke collar. Unlike a traditional choke collar, martingale collars tighten gently and only constrict to a certain degree, so they are far less likely to choke your dog.

As you may know, many dog lover reviews find choke collars inhumane and dangerous. Martingale collars safely tighten to the actual size of your dog’s neck. Again, no choking!

The collars come in a variety of sizes and styles as unique as your dog. Many dogs, even large dogs, fit fine with a 1″ wide collar. For the narrow-headed dogs, such as greyhounds and sight hounds, you can gain improved security and comfort with a wider padded collar.

Whichever style of collar you choose, it is paramount that you buy one that fits your particular dog. Visit this website to see how best to measure your dog for the collar. Some websites include visible size charts. Once you’ve chosen the suitably sized collar, adjust it to fit your dog. Expert reviews recommend fitting the dog with this leash similar to a British lead.
