PetSafeAdjustable Martingale Collar - Only Tightens When Dogs Pull, Prevents Slipping Out - Helps with Strong Pullers, Increased Control - Alternative to Choke Collar - 1", Large, Royal Blue

I recently bought the PetSafe Martingale Collar in Royal Blue for my petite dog, and it's been wonderful. The collar's design ensures it's gentle yet effective in preventing my dog from slipping out, which gives me peace of mind during our walks. The vibrant royal blue color looks fantastic against my dog's coat, and the quality of the material speaks volumes about its durability. This collar combines safety, style, and comfort, making it a fantastic choice for pet owners.

When I fostered my chow chow in early April 2014, this was the kind of collar the rescue group had put on her. It is also the kind of collar they recommend in their adoption materials. So, when I adopted her in May 2014 I bought this collar for her. It's perfect for her.I like that the collar is adjustable so that she's never really choked by the collar. The collar tightens, but it only tightens until the square metal rings meet. This is different from most other choke collars that have nothing to stop them from choking as tightly as possible. This is a far more humane collar.My dog doesn't really pull on walks except when she smells something really exciting and she heels really well. I like that the collar is loose on her neck most of the time. I think it keeps her more relaxed on our walks. In fact, when I give her the slightest direction on the lead, she feels it and follows along. I have as much control over her movements as I do with a horse using its reins, and just as subtly. You wouldn't think that with a looser collar this would be true, but it is. Of course, all dogs are different.Another thing that makes this collar perfect for me and my dog is that I can use the loop as a short "handle" to help direct her when we're inside. She's totally blind, and she sometimes finds herself in a corner and can't find her way out. I only have to grab the loop and gently direct her in the right direction. Very helpful!I've hung her tags from one of the square metal rings. They're just fine there. In fact, better than fine. Since she's a chow, she has long hair. The tags are noticeable because they hang longer than they would on a tighter fitting collar. If she ever gets out of the house unattended, someone will be able to see all her information. I like that.Speaking of her hair, the collar doesn't seem to rub or break her hair off. I don't know if this is due to the material the collar is made of, or the fact that it's an inch wide, but I'm grateful.She's only worn this particular collar for 3 months now, but it's held up well. We've been caught in a rainstorm, and it dried out overnight. I've hand washed it in the sink with Dawn dishwashing liquid, and it looks like new. And with the matching lead, she looks like a princess!When this collar wears out, I'll replace it with another one just like it. Five stars.

I think I've left about 100 reviews on dog collars. I've been through many of them. So far this one has held up for about two months. One of my precious little sled dogs, named Coho, is the dog reincarnation of Houdini. She can escape harnesses, choke collars, leather collars, fabric collars, metal clasps, and plastic clips. You name it- she can maneuver her way out of it. This is the only dog collar I've ever used that she can't quite figure out how to escape from. They put some serious thought into this design and I love it.It slips on over the head and can then be tightened snug onto your pup. Coho is a relatively calm dog, so this was easy to do. But with other dogs who are more playful and energetic, getting them to sit still long enough to tighten this can be virtually impossible. I've had experience dealing with those pups too, but for this specific collar it went onto a dog that was really calm and she let me tighten it. 99% of the time it will remain in a loose state- which makes in comfortable for the dog to wear. But if the dog begins to pull, twist it's head, or try to escape, the collar tightens against the rope, leash, chain, or tie-line (whatever you're using). This makes it virtually impossible to escape from. This feature immediately made it five stars in my book. But what made it even better was the fact it's made out of thick, durable fabric that won't wear out easily. The clasps are metal- which means they won't break like plastic does. And the entire collar is made with quality in mind.The color of this collar is EXACTLY as pictured. It's a vibrant purple- almost lavender hue. Coho is a girly girl, but not really a 'pink' sort of dog. Purple was perfect for her! And it looks adorable contrasted with her black and white fur. Love the look! Love the quality! Couldn't have asked for a better collar. For the price it's unbeatable.

It has very good quality. It doesn't work very well to my little fellow, because he will pull if he wants, doesn't matter what... But it says more about him than about the collar lol. The collar is amazing.

Better than choke collar

Was a bit larger than what I expected and the "loop" was very large. I ordered this for a 8 lb. Chihuahua mix who I just too in for foster and is very scared. Luckily, I tried it out inside before we sent out. Even with the collar adjusted as far as it could go, she easily slipped it over her head. The neck measurement should have been spot on, but it was larger than I expected. I will keep it for another larger small dog, but was not exactly what I expected and have used other Martingale collars from this manufacturer before and been very happy. The collar itself seems sturdy and well made, it is just the sizing seemed off and the "loop" was large enough she would have been tripping over it if I left it on her other than going for walks.

Great fit - have bought them in the past and will continue wbuy them

Excelente producto, muy duradero y resistente

Nice fits dog perfectly

Got this for my little greyhound for safety and it has held up nicely and also happy with the quality. It could be softer material on the inside but other than that small point it is great value.

Gostei do material

We put this collar on our Podenco the day she arrived from the rescue shelter about 6 months ago, and it has not been off her since. It still looks as good as new with no wear to show what-so-ever. It is rarely used as a collar for walking because our dog is incredibly nervous so she requires a three-point harness for walking. That said, I think this collar is durable anyway. I guess that it is very comfortable for her to wear. She has never scratched at it, or attemped to claw at it. There is absolutely no rubbing underneath either, so no rash or fur problems at all. I highly recommend this Martingal collar by PetSafe.
