How to Measure Your Dog for a Martingale Collar

Martingale collars are widely used in the US. Due to their nature, it is imperative that a dog be measured for the collar beforehand. Find out how to do that in this Buzzle article.

Did You Know?
Martingale collars are perfectly suited for collar training. They suitably, but firmly, restrict the dog's movement without choking it. Buckle martingales, which have a release clasp at their side, can be used so that there is always an emergency release available.

Every pet dog needs a collar. They are useful for training, security, as well as identification. Martingale collars, which are an upgrade on choke collars, are distinguished by the additional loop behind the collar. The collar is a bit loose at first. If the dog pulls on the collar, the secondary loop constricts, making the collar tighter. With the proper fitting, martingale collars never choke the dog, but tighten and help you control the dog when you need it most. This is most useful with dogs that have slender, similarly wide necks and faces, such as greyhounds.
