Are martingale collars only for sighthounds?

The simple answer is NO, any dog can use martingale collars regardless of their breed. Martingale collars are recommended for any dog who easily escapes out of the standard dog collar and harnesses. However, there are a few things that you may need to consider. 

Head to beck ratio 

First, most martingale dog collars do not have side release buckles - they simply slip over the head. If your dog’s head is significantly bigger than the neck, you may need to loosen the collar to slip it over the head. 

Length of the neck 

Another thing to consider is the width of the collar. Martingale collars are intentionally made wider than the standard dog collars to evenly distribute the pressure on the neck. However, if your dog’s neck is short and our existing dimensions are not suitable, don’t worry! You can always place a custom order with us.
