Martingale Collars for Dogs, Dog Training Collar, Reflective Pet Limited-Cinch Collar, with Quick-Release Buckle(17"-22" X 1", Grey)

The collar has no stretch which is good for restraint; very sturdy; a little thicker than I wanted. It was purchased for my border collie/cattle dog mix. He goes from being soft & shy to having a very strong prey drive when small animals walk under his head. He has a history of slipping out of softer martingale collars. The larger chain and accompanying weight of nylon seemed very heavy, too much as a matter of fact. In reality it keeps the collar in place and doesn’t release the instant there is slack in the leash. It releases quickly, but doesn’t allow the dog to back out the split second there is slack. The plastic buckle allows the collar to be put on the dog without putting pressure on head and ears. I have been pleasantly surprised with how well this meets my needs. I have 4 herding dogs who train for obedience, Rally, agility, and herding competition and collars are mainly for emergency safety measures, nothing more.

I really like this collar. It’s easy to put on with the plastic buckle. The chain is a nice weight for my boy. I wanted a heavier weight chain. My guy is wire and no issues with the chain discoloring his hair. I only use this for our walks. It’s nevet kept on him. I like that it’s refelective. He’s an American Bulldog puppy that weighs 70 lbs. he is an easy walker, however if he gets excited, he’s very very strong. I have used a fabric martingale and a metal choke until my order arrived. The fabric didn’t hold up so well after 7 days from pulling on it. The choke concerned me that he was going to get hurt. This collar actually gives me a better response and I can pull him back easier when he gets excited.I just ordered a second one for my American Bulldog mix. She’s 60lbs, but super strong if she gets excited.My only complaint is that the little plastic loop that’s suppose to slide to the one side so the collar doesn’t loosen up, doesn’t stays in place. The collar needs to be tightened periodically. No big deal. The fabric is stiff. Maybe with wear it will soften up and the tan won’t slide so easily.***Edit**The collar I purchased for my smaller dog became too large with time. Customer service is awesome!!!! They are sending me a smaller one to try on her. ❤️

I'm a full time independent pet sitter and dog walker. I'm always trying to find the perfect multi dog purpose collar and leash for my clients protection. This is 1st review ever since joining Amazon 4yrs ago. Also I would never write a review with testing a products longevity. But I just received and used these martindale collars and from the start felt the weight and sturdiness of these collars. They've met a 6 point wishlist. 1. Reflective 2. Heavy duty 3. martindale 4. Release clip 5. adjustable 6. Affordable. Definitely going to order more!!

Exactly the collar I was looking for(the chain segment makes it more secure and more effective. I purchased 2 and I’m so glad I did. They arrived in very timely fashion. Thank you. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a sturdy, well fitting collar.

Bought both a medium and large size collar for my 4 month old boxer that had outgrown his current small size collars. Both collars are well made and as described. However the chains on both callers are substantial and weigh much more than his previous ones. I had been using both a 3/8 inch collar with a small chain or the 5/8 inch collar with a slightly heavier chain. The chains on these collars are much heavier. Would be great if you have a very boisterous dog as chain and ring are very strong. I just don’t require that for my dog. Probably would have purchased a collar with a smaller, lighter chain if I had been able to handle it before buying.

This collar has been amazing! My GSD who’s 2yrs old is easily excited and tries to pull and meet every dog walking by and I tried to do the small wrist snap & say ‘leave it’ how trainers suggest but she NEVER would and a lot of the time it would scare other owners cause they thought she was scary with her being a gsd.... this collar is AMAZING. I’ve barely had any trouble with her doing that since. An If were walking and she stops I keep walking and she’ll immediately catch up so the collar doesn’t tighten. I feel like a good dog mom cause I’m not having to pull at her constantly and her collar isn’t hurting her. It’s a win win. 💯 buy the collar. Super sturdy. Feels like good quality as well.

This collar is well made but I had no idea that the chain was going to be VERY Heavy! You will need a dog with a big strong neck to hold that collar! I returned it and bought a different one because of the weight. Maybe a pitbull or a boxer or some strong necked dog could wear this collar. The chain is really thick and heavy.

This is a very well designed and manufactured product. Works excellent in training sessions. It is strong enough that while correcting my dogs behavior it gets her attention and she is not harmed in the process. I will recommend this collar to everybody I meet. Very good price as well.

Unfortunately we have found that when this collar gets wet it stains the fur around the neck of our retreiver and as he likes ponds, ditches and puddles we are unable to use it. Okay for a dark coated dog.
