Leather Martingale Training Collar

How Do I Use The Mighty Paw Martingale Collars?

We carry several different types of Martingale Collars. While they’re made of different materials, the concept is the same for all. They consist of 2 different size loops which help teach polite leash walking and reduce your dog’s pulling on leash. Here’s how it works: Put the Martingale collar up high around your dog’s neck and make sure that the smaller loop sits behind your dog’s ears. Next, clip their leash to the D-ring on the smaller loop. That higher position of the collar on your dog’s neck gives you a lot more control over their head as you’d have with a lower position around your dog’s neck. When your dog pulls, you want to let them know that this behavior is not OK. To do that, give a quick tug on the leash. This tightens the smaller loop the leash is attached to and gives your dog the cue to stop pulling. Remember to release the tension on the leash after you give the tug.

Can The Martingale Collars Be Worn At All Times?

The martingale collar is a training collar and should only be worn during training sessions and walks or when supervised.

How Do I Treat My Leather Collars?

To keep your leather collars looking their best throughout the years, you should treat them with leather conditioner or saddle soap every so often. If your leather collar gets wet, wipe it down with a soft cloth and then treat it with the conditioner or soap. Let it dry and you'll soon be ready to head out on more adventures with your best furry friend(s)!
