PetSafe Martingale Dog Collar, Red, 1 in, Large

These collars save dogs lives. I was walking down a on leash trail with my dogs when an off leash dog walking with its owner decided to attack my dog right at the last moment as we were passing by no indication no warning. With my reflexes I pulled my dog up (ouch a little for my dog) this tightened up on her neck and pulled her up into my arms and out of the other dogs reach so she only had a lot of slobber on her side instead of a bite. Her neck was fine not tweaked or weird or bruised or anything after this event I watched her for weeks to make sure. I truly believe that if I had a buckle collar on she would have slipped out of it and would have gotten a bad bite from the aggressive dog. My dog also has a walking harness and she can slip out of that if I pull up on it (simulating the dog attack) we've tested it to see which is more safe for her and walks and the collar wins every time. I volunteer at a shelter and we use these to walk our dogs in the only field walking space we have next to a very busy road and they truly save dogs lives by preventing all dogs from being able to slip a normal buckle collar. We use these for our tiniest chi to our larges pit-bulls and each one is safe. We do not use these as choke walking training collars we use either EZwalks or Gentile leaders in addition to these for walking behavior. These are very safe durable lovely collars for walking I highly recommend these collars they're gentle they don't choke because they only tighten around the neck if the dog is trying to pull or slip out. They get tight around the neck so the dog's head cant slip through and everybody is safe unharmed and happy. Please be aware you should never use this collar if you plan on sending your dog to a doggy day camp or other place where you have unsupervised play with random dogs get a cheap buckle collar for that and this for your walks. The D ring that pulls the neck can get grabbed by other dogs and cause your dog to choke and if it's too tight they can loose air. Only use these collars when you are walking and are close by in play groups where you can get involved to prevent collar biting and pulling during play. I do not leave these collars on my dogs when they are in the home I use them exclusively for walking the park and when im out and about and can supervise my dogs play and stop collar biting.

Love this collar! There was quite the learning curve to figure out how to put it on correctly, but I watched a youtube video explaining it and it was pretty simple. My dog is deaf, and I was worried he would slip his collar with no recall at all. My dog can't slip out of this one. I got the red and it was thick, bright, and looks great! I haven't washed it yet, but I'm not worried. It also helped with my dog's pulling, giving me a little more control and communicating to him where I am better than a harness.

I think I've left about 100 reviews on dog collars. I've been through many of them. So far this one has held up for about two months. One of my precious little sled dogs, named Coho, is the dog reincarnation of Houdini. She can escape harnesses, choke collars, leather collars, fabric collars, metal clasps, and plastic clips. You name it- she can maneuver her way out of it. This is the only dog collar I've ever used that she can't quite figure out how to escape from. They put some serious thought into this design and I love it. It slips on over the head and can then be tightened snug onto your pup. Coho is a relatively calm dog, so this was easy to do. But with other dogs who are more playful and energetic, getting them to sit still long enough to tighten this can be virtually impossible. I've had experience dealing with those pups too, but for this specific collar it went onto a dog that was really calm and she let me tighten it. 99% of the time it will remain in a loose state- which makes in comfortable for the dog to wear. But if the dog begins to pull, twist it's head, or try to escape, the collar tightens against the rope, leash, chain, or tie-line (whatever you're using). This makes it virtually impossible to escape from. This feature immediately made it five stars in my book. But what made it even better was the fact it's made out of thick, durable fabric that won't wear out easily. The clasps are metal- which means they won't break like plastic does. And the entire collar is made with quality in mind. The color of this collar is EXACTLY as pictured. It's a vibrant purple- almost lavender hue. Coho is a girly girl, but not really a 'pink' sort of dog. Purple was perfect for her! And it looks adorable contrasted with her black and white fur. Love the look! Love the quality! Couldn't have asked for a better collar. For the price it's unbeatable.

I went through probably 4-5 different collars for my pup, before we found this one. It fits perfectly and never slips off (once adjusted to the right size). I really like that the material seems relatively soft (as opposed to some others that are so stiff that they seem like they would be uncomfortable). I also like that it has a little plastic piece on it to hang tags from rather than hanging them from the D ring. It helps cut back on some of the noise. The only issue I had with the collar was around the edges where it is sewn together. Most of the edges seemed kind of sharp. It felt like it was scratching my hands when I pet near the collar, although it never seemed to bother my pup. After a few days, I took a lighter and melted down all the edges a little. Problem solved. I've added some pictures to illustrate the area where I melted it down. We've been using this collar for about 4 months now and it is holding up great. Note: Ignore the silver ID tag attached to the collar in the photos. That did NOT come with the collar.

I bought this collar for our newly adopted dog. We had an incident where she slipped out the back door and took off running while my boyfriend was taking out the trash. Ever since then, I’ve been worried that we’d lose her if she ever managed to get out of her standard breakaway collar. This gives me some peace of mind. It serves as an option for when she just needs to be let outside quickly and we don’t want to go through the hassle of putting on her harness. It really wasn’t that difficult to figure out. I think some people may be exaggerating that part a little bit. I put her on the leash and tested out the collar in my house before I ever took her out. It worked as it should. I also haven’t had any issues with it loosening up on her. I left it as it was out of the package, slipped it over her head, used the 2-finger rule to make sure it wasn’t too tight, and it’s stayed the same since. The collar is true to size. My dog is a medium-sized dog. Most medium-sized things fit her without much adjustment. This collar was no different. My conclusion in testing out this product for myself is that people are unfamiliar with this type of collar, putting it on wrong, and assuming it’s a faulty product. Complaints about there being no buckle or being too wide or whatever are invalid. If you want a collar with a buckle, get a collar with a buckle. If you want a more narrow collar, don’t buy one that says it’s an inch wide. Don’t buy this product and leave a bad review because you didn’t use common sense. If you want a simple martingale collar that does the job, give this one a go. It worked for me.

Kept them but stiff

I just adopted a beautiful ~55 lb pit bull terrier / labrador mix and I've been attempting to train her to walk (I'm using the Dog Whisperer system as well as I can manage) and I've been trying different collar / leash combinations to see what works best. This collar did absolutely nothing to prevent my dog from pulling. If anything she pulled more on this collar than on her regular one, but that might just have been a coincidence. In any case, this collar did not work for me at all. That being said it does appear to be well made. Be aware that it doesn't "snap" like a regular collar though so it has to fit over your dogs head. Overall, well made collar but would not recommend for training a dog who has a serious pulling problem. I've been using the mendota slip lead and it works much better. Try using the figure 8 style (you can google it) as it seems to help keep the leash near the top of the nect, where it should be for maximum control. Be advised that my dog was able to slip out of the figure 8 by shaking her head, but if you're paying attention you can prevent it (when she got it off she had stopped and I kept walking. Keep your dog next to you and I don't think it will be a problem.) Just to be safe though I'm walking her with a regular leash attached to her collar along with the slip lead in a figure 8 pattern. I don't use the regularly leash to direct her but I keep it on just in case she manages to shake out of the slip lead. I hope this helps.

SInce Petsafe took over this Premier brand, the webbing and fittings have been thinned substantially-- like 50%. However, I believe even the lighter-weight materials, being strong and durable steel and nylon webbing, are still adequate to the purpose. The D-ring is still thick and sturdy. Typical cost-cutting to save a few pennies on materials... Fair price for the product. A good value. However, the Martingale style collar is simply the best for any dog who has ever slipped backwards out of its collar. Comfortably loose at all times, except when pulling against the leash. Then, the wide webbing gently, but forcefully, cinches down to prevent escape with little or no choking. (Chainlink or spikey choke collars are medieval compared to the comfort of these collars.) The size L is probably not going to fit a dog weighing much more than 100 pounds, so these aren't for the large breeds. Measure carefully, as described, using a measuring ribbon to be sure. But it's perfect for a spirited and strong 75 pound Dalmatian male! These collars are a MUST for any hound whose neck and head are about the same diameter-- especially my faves, the sighthounds and Dalmatians! One of these can last almost a lifetime (although they may look grungy!), and may save their lives many times over from wayward and dangerous escapes and chases.

最初どこに首を？って思ったり、ちょっと硬いなって思ったんですけど、すぐに馴染んでとっても使いやすいです！ 予備にもう一つ買っておこうかな〜！ ボーダーコリーでMサイズ購入しました！

Eu não conhecia essa goleira, mas estou gostando bastante na minha Pitbull. É top essa coleira, muito boa. Essa me surpreendeu.

We put this collar on our Podenco the day she arrived from the rescue shelter about 6 months ago, and it has not been off her since. It still looks as good as new with no wear to show what-so-ever. It is rarely used as a collar for walking because our dog is incredibly nervous so she requires a three-point harness for walking. That said, I think this collar is durable anyway. I guess that it is very comfortable for her to wear. She has never scratched at it, or attemped to claw at it. There is absolutely no rubbing underneath either, so no rash or fur problems at all. I highly recommend this Martingal collar by PetSafe.

犬の首に合わせて調整出きるのがとても良い。 耐久性もある。 ただ、洗うと色落ちするのであまり洗わない方が良いのかも。 ２本目リピートしました。 軽くて小型犬には、1㎝幅おすすめだと思います。

Le quedó muy bien talla morado S 3/4" y M azul buena calidad del material. Mis perritos ente ellos se rompen los collares. Este al no tener broches soluciona el problema Compré otro más.
