Using Custom Martingale Dog Collars

By Della Monroe


Martingale dog neckbands were designed for use in dogs with a huge neck than their head. Nevertheless, owners of other breeds found them very handy for their animals too and since then their demand has gone up. The leash has two bands. The systems in custom martingale dog collars are interconnected.

For those searching for a better solution for dogs which always slip out of normal leashes, custom martingale band is the better option. However, remember that you should be in a position to operate them well. Familiarize yourself with its components before you set out to get one. Also, go through their benefits to compare them with standard chokers.

These lapels do not cause skin irritation because they do not have a tight grip on the animal neck. Additionally, they are the best to use during training because they minimize the chances of the pooch getting choked. This is a problem which is very common when choke bands are used in the event that the dog pulls away from the lead. To ensure safety of your dog, go for martingale customized collars.

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 are d-rings which connect the smaller loops with the large one. You will know if the band is too tight if a pull on this system causes an impact to the one near the neck. Test the tightness by fitting your hand next to canine neck. Nonetheless, make it tighter if you are setting out for dog training. Only two of your fingers should fit in this case.

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 region of the neck is sensitive than at the posterior. This is why the dog is not likely to slip away if the collar is fixed at this region. Tightening of the collar makes it to stop or slow down. With more practice, the dog is conditioned to sense extra pulling. This way, it is likely to move at the same pace as you.

Remember that the collars have disadvantages too. The main one is chocking the animal to the extent of causing death or serious neck injuries. Therefore, use the collar only when you are with the dog or there is someone available to loosen the band grip on the neck in the event that the dog pulls too much making it to choke.
