Using 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.

Ensure the collar bought fits loosely. It is possible for them to hold the dog so tight to cause chocking but they slacken very quickly to avoid causing harm to the canine. They only cause slight discomfort to get the dog back in line. However, ensure it is not loose to the point that the dog can easily slip out.

There is one big band connected to a smaller one by a d-shaped ring. If a pull on this system has an effect on the one near the lead then you know that the band is very loose. The ideal one should only allow your fingers to get into the space between the collar and the neck. However, you have to make this even tighter if you are taking the animal for training. It is frustrating to have the canine run off during this time.

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.
