Hippie Flowers Green Martingale Collar

Martingale collars are a safe, adjustable alternative to traditional flat collars. They look similar, but the smaller loop is made of fabric (or sometimes chain) and has a D-ring attached. When the dog pulls on the leash, the small loop tightens, pulling the larger loop but not too much—just enough to prevent backing or slipping out. They constrict to the width of the dog's neck, providing secure control without harm.

People may know the Martingale collar as an easy/soft choke collar.

Martingale collars are best for safely walking dogs who may otherwise slip or back out of a traditional collar. They’re not meant as walking aids for dogs who pull. After all, if your dog pulls nonstop, it’ll have a tight collar constantly, which isn’t very comfortable

Professional dog trainers recommend using martingale collars only on walks and removing them while at home. Although martingale collars are safe, the loose design and dangling ring do have a higher chance of getting caught on things. For that reason, dogs should always be supervised while wearing martingale collars.

Once you’ve found the right size martingale collar, you’ll need to adjust the fit to your dog. First, slip the collar over your dog’s neck and pull it up to the spot just behind their ears. Then, pull up on the smaller loop and watch the metal slides on either side.

To properly measure your dog for a martingale, please measure the circumference around the following three areas and then choose the size from our drop-down menu that includes all three of these measurements:

1) the widest part of your dog's head
2) the neck just behind the ears
3) the neck where the collar generally sits

As a martingale collar is a slip-on collar, you should select a size that is at least 2 inches larger than the widest head measurement, to slide the collar on and off comfortably, while allowing for a comfortable fit around the neck.
