6 Martingale Dog Collar Safety Tips (continue)

When crate training your dog, avoid keeping the martingale collar on at all costs.The crate itself could pose a risk if its edges are not welded – it could cause that second loop to get stuck and your dog could choke inside the cage without anyone to help. Even if the crate’s edges are welded, your pup could get the second loop stuck in his mouth, tightening the collar around his neck. It is always best to keep the martingale collar off whenever your dog will be inside a crate.
If you notice that your dog is not responding appropriately to training with the martingale collar, it is best to suspend its use.Although this type of collar generally leads to success with correcting behavior, it is possible your pup will not take to it. At that point, you may want to consult with a professional trainer to determine what available options may suit your furry pal’s needs.
If your dog lives with other pups or enjoys social time with other furry friends, it is best to remove the martingale collar prior to playtime.If left on, the martingale collar could link up with another dog’s collar, causing choking and asphyxiation during a time meant for enjoyment. Keep it off to keep your beloved buddy safe. He will be thanking you with those ever-cherished pup kisses!
