What is a Martingale Dog Collar?

Martingale collars, also called limited slip collars, are collars specially designed to protect your dog from either breaking free or choking when he becomes excited. Some breeds of dog are more prone to these types of mishaps, depending on the way their neck is shaped, their general temperament, or the way their fur grows. This collar has an added loop that connects the standard version of a collar. Think of a collar within a collar – the added loop allows for a comfortable fit around your pup’s neck that when tightened (when you or your dog pulls), evenly distributes the compression. This extra loop is designed for better and nicer control.  Standard collars, when challenged by excitable dogs, constrict heavily around the throat, causing an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous sensation for your treasured canine. The martingale collar, however, anticipates and prevents this constriction by causing an even pull all the way around the collar, letting your dog know you are pulling back, but doing so in a way that is not too restrictive. Once the pressure is released, the collar reverts to its comfortable fit.
