A martingale collar is only as good as its fit.
Too loose, and your dog may still be able to back out of it. Too tight, and you’ve lost the comfortable, limited-control design a correctly adjusted martingale should provide.
When fitted correctly, the control loop tightens to a set point when tension is applied and relaxes again when that tension is released.
And one of the easiest things to check?
Those two points on the control loop shouldn’t be able to meet when the collar is engaged.
Not sure you’ve got yours quite right?
Check your fit. My full step-by-step fitting guide is in Discover — link in bio.
Save this for your next collar check, or share it with someone who uses a martingale.
