Martingale Collars

The Martingale design is intended to be both gentle on your dogs neck and keep them safe by helping to prevent them from slipping their collar.   This is especially important for dogs that have smaller heads than necks isuch as Greyhounds/Sighthounds and other breeds. The Martingale collar will only work when fitted correctly;  below are details of how to fit just right.

The Martingale collar consists of a larger fabric covered webbing loop that acts as the main collar section with a smaller webbing control loop. The larger Martingale collar loop also has an adjuster and two metal control rings. The smaller webbing control loop has fitted a small D ring to attach a lead.

The Martingale is made using 100% cotton (unless limited specials) with a fabric stabaliser and strong webbing core.

All Dogs on Bikes Martingale collars are fitted with an alloy adjuster so they can be fitted perfectly!  It is recommended that when fitting you first loosen the martingale collar to fit comfortably over your dogs head then adjust when in position on their neck.
The martingale should be in position behind the ears and then adjusted to fit so that when the control loop is tightened there is a two finger gap between the two large control rings. The metal control rings should never meet or overlap when the martingale collar is tightened on walking as this will stop the design function of the martingale collar.

Please note that all collars are made to order so there will be some difference in appearance due to cut of fabric.  Also all monitors vary in showing appearance of colour so if you are unclear please do get in touch.
