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.

This is the perfect solution to dogs who are always trying to get away during training or when taken for walks. However, effectiveness of this equipment depends on its proper usage. It is recommended that you learn how to operate it before purchase to avoid disappointments. In addition, you have to weigh the pros and cos of use of custom martingale collars for dogs instead of the standard ones. Nonetheless, it is obvious that this type of collar provides many benefits compared to traditional ones.

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.

The martingale band fits more loosely as opposed to regular ones. It is true that tightening can happen to the point of making the pooch uncomfortable but slackening takes place very fast. In addition, it is not too loose to make it possible for the dog to get off it with ease.

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 lower neck region is not as sensitive as the upper one. That is why experts insist on fitting the neckband at the higher neck portion because this dog will respond to pulls at this region quickly making it to walk slowly or stop completely. As time goes by, it will become used to your pace and they will be no need to always keep tugging at the leash to control the animal movements.

This product is great but can result to harm if not used appropriately. Choking can kill the animal if there is no one to release extra tension when the pull strength is increased. Use the choker only when there is someone watching the dog.
