The Advantages Of 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 bands are the best to use when you want to protect the pooch from skin irritation caused by the conventional chokers. They make the training sessions more comfortable for the canine because they do not get so tight to the point of actually hurting the animal. They remain above the trachea even if the dog tags at them. They are the better option to ensure your dog safety.

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 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.

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.
