Benefits Of Custom Martingale Dog Collars

By Della Monroe


Martingale bands where designed for use in dogs with smaller heads than the necks. Nonetheless, they have ever since been used even in other breeds. They are very effective for controlling the dogs. The system has two collars which are linked together. A pull on one exerts the pressure on the other causing the custom martingale dog collars to tighten.

This is an ideal option for keeping dogs on a leash during walks or training. To note is that they will only give you a positive outcome if you know how to operate them. Therefore, learn about their use before you even buy them. Get to know how the various components in custom martingale collars work. Also, learn about their strengths compared to the traditional ones so that you may make an informed decision when making the purchases.

These leashes have more merits compared to standard ones. The first one is that they ensure the skin of pooch is not irritated by fitting only loosely. For this reason, the dog is likely to do well during training because it is comfortable. Also, rarely do they get too snug to choke the animal. This is because tightening during pulls happens above the wind pipe. This cannot be said about the traditional ones and they can easily kill the animal.

There is a possibility for the neckband to become very tight to the point of choking the canine. However, they rarely cause harm because they slacken quickly. Therefore ensure they are not so tight. On the other hand, do not make the band loose such that it is very easy for the canine to get off it.

If you realize that the d-rings which link the superior and inferior collar meet on pulling the inferior one tied on the lead, this is a very loose collar. A good one is that which allows only your hand to fit between it and the dog neck. Nevertheless, tighten it more if you are going for training of a pooch.

During walks with the dog, if it pulls the lead it is like you are the one being walked. This can be very interesting if you get absorbed in the moment. The collar breaks the normal habits of the canine. Ensure you fit the band high enough on neck when you are taking it out for walks or training.

The anterior portion of the neck has more sensitivity than that on the lower side. This is why it is easy to control the animal with the band there. Tugging at it will make the dog to slow down or come to a halt. Over time, the dog becomes better at responding to various levels of tugs on the band and you can walk at similar pace.

This is a very beneficial product but remember everything has its drawback. This equipment can cause death to the pooch if choking happens when there is no one nearby to help the animal. Use it cautiously and ensure you get a sitter when you are not with your animal.
