collar style guide
Side Release Buckle Collar
These are traditionally called
"quick release" or "side release" buckle collars.
They are created with a heavy-duty plastic buckle,
d-ring for attaching your pups tags,
and a metal slider for easy size adjustments.
Not intended for use on tie outs.
Martingale Collar
Also known as a "soft choke" collar, martingales are great for dogs that frequently slip out or back out of their collar. They are created with 2 separate loops. The smaller loop (shown in blue in the diagram on the right) tightens up when your dog pulls to prevent them from getting loose. When the collar is adjusted properly, this feature keeps your pup safe on walks!
Martingale collars should NOT be worn all the time. Because of the martingale's tightening function, martingales can become a choking hazard
or your pups paw or jaw could get caught
in the loop if left unattended.
Please use a standard buckle collar for everyday use.
Do not use on tie outs.
Our martingales are created with a heavy metal d-ring
on the smaller loop to attach the leash to when walking,
a metal slider for easy size adjustments, and 2 heavy rectangular rings for the small loop to easily slide through. We also include an additional rectangular ring on the side, near the front, to hang your pups tags from.
Our Martingales are also offered with a buckle attachment for easy removal.
