NOTE: The satin lining will be revealed when the collar is adjusted LARGER. At its smallest adjustment the collar will not reveal the satin lining. The small martingale loop is not satin lined because it needs to rotate freely to operate correctly. All of our martingale dog collars are designed to provide maximum comfort, security, and durability for large and giant breed dogs and all coat types, while also being effective training tools and ensuring your dog’s safety during walks and training. Key Features for All Martingale Dog Collars: • Satin Lining: All martingale collars are satin-lined, offering superior comfort by preventing matting and irritation under the collar, particularly for dogs with sensitive or longer coats. • Stainless Steel Hardware: Each collar is equipped with high-quality stainless steel hardware, ensuring strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear, even during active use. • No Escape Design: All martingales are designed so that your dog cannot pull out or back out of the collar, ensuring safety and control. This is especially important for dogs that tend to slip out of traditional collars. • Industrial Strength Construction: All martingales are made with industrial-strength thread and reinforced with box-X stitches at stress points, providing exceptionally strong seams that can withstand daily use and pressure. • Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with durable stainless steel components, this collar ensures longevity and strength, even during the most active training sessions Martingale Dog Collar Configurations (See photos for examples) 1. Regular Martingale Collar o Fabric Construction, No Buckle o Designed for Dogs with Larger Necks Than Heads: The regular martingale is a fabric collar designed to slip over your dog’s head. It has no buckle, and instead, the collar is adjusted after placement to fit comfortably around the neck. o Cinching Action for Security: The collar provides a cinching action that prevents your dog from pulling out or backing out of the collar, offering greater control during walks and ensuring a snug fit. This feature is particularly beneficial for breeds like greyhounds, whippets, and other dogs with necks that are larger than their heads. o Comfort & Coat Protection: The satin lining ensures a soft and comfortable fit, preventing matting or irritation underneath the collar, making it ideal for dogs with longer or thicker coats. o Durable Hardware: Fitted with stainless steel hardware, the collar ensures long-lasting performance and strength, even under regular use. 2. Chain Martingale Collar o Chain Cinching Mechanism o Training Tool for Pulling Dogs: The chain martingale features a chain cinching action instead of fabric, offering more immediate feedback to the dog when it pulls. The sound of the chain tightening provides an audible cue, reinforcing verbal corrections from the trainer. This makes it a great training tool for younger dogs or dogs learning not to pull. o No Escape, No Pulling Out: Like the regular martingale, the chain martingale is designed to prevent your dog from pulling out or backing out of the collar, ensuring a secure fit during walks or training sessions. o Comfort & Coat Protection: The collar is satin-lined to keep your dog comfortable and to prevent any irritation or matting of their coat beneath the collar, making it suitable for dogs with long or fine coats. o Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with durable stainless steel components, this collar ensures longevity and strength, even during the most active training sessions. 3. Buckle Martingale Collar o Buckle Closure with Martingale Cinching Action o For Large & Giant Breeds: The buckle martingale collar is specifically designed for large and giant breed dogs, particularly those weighing over 100 lbs. This collar features an aluminum metal buckle, making it easy to put on and adjust just like a regular buckle collar. However, it retains the cinching action of a martingale collar, providing extra control to prevent pulling and ensuring the collar cannot be slipped off. o Strong & Lightweight Aluminum Metal Buckle: The aluminum buckle offers a 600 lbs breaking strength, making it incredibly strong and durable, even for the most powerful dogs. The aluminum material is also lighter than steel, providing added comfort and reducing strain on the dog’s neck during wear. o Comfort & Coat Protection: Satin-lined for ultimate comfort, the collar prevents rubbing or matting, making it perfect for large dogs with thick or long coats. o Durability with Stainless Steel Hardware: Fitted with durable stainless steel hardware, this collar is built to last, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for your large dog. NOTE: For those using Herm Sprenger collars for leash work we have found the 2 inch wide plastic buckle collars to be very effective in keeping the prong collar in the correct position on your dog’s neck when in use. It should never be used by itself for leash work, ONLY in conjunction with the prong collar. Please see the buckle collar section of our shop for patterns available.
