This padded Martingale collar is perfect if your dog has a habit of backing out of regular buckle collars or pulling on the lead. It solves the problem in a safe and comfortable way.
The collar is made by hand from luxuriously soft Italian calf leather, then lined and padded with the same soft leather. It feels soft and comfy against your dog’s neck, and won’t cause irritation or uncomfortable chaffing.
We’ll make the collar in any colour you like, and you can have different colours for the outer layer and the lining. Just pick your favourite combination from the drop down.
It’s available in 4 widths so it’s suitable for any dog breed. The wider the collar, the heavier the chain, although please note – we wouldn’t advise a half inch or 5/8” wide collar for larger dogs. The chain may snap if they pull on the lead regularly.
To make sure the collar is a comfortable fit, you’ll need to measure your dog’s neck before placing your order. There’s a guide below but if you get stuck, feel free toget in touch. We’re happy to answer any questions.
Do you need a new dog lead?
If you need a new dog lead, simply add one to your order. We’ll make it by hand with the same colour of high-quality Italian leather as the outer lining of your collar.
It measures around 1 metre in length from the handle to the clasp, and has a handy D ring in the handle so you can clip it to your shoulder when your dog is off the lead.
Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your dog's neck which will be over the ears at line A. The collar needs to be large enough to slide over this part of the head.
For sighthound breeds, we also need the narrowest part of the neck which is indicated by line B, and is typically the circumference from just behind the ears and below the chin.
For non-sighthound breeds, measure the middle of the neck at line C instead of line B.
When the collar is worn and pulled tight, there should be approximately 1" gap between the two o rings. This allows the collar to be used to "check" the dog, but prevents it from being used to strangle.
All of our martingale and half check collars can be made in any shade of our Italian leather.
If you are not sure which colour will suit your dog the best, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
