Martingale Collars – Secure, Gentle & Stylish
Our martingale dog collars are crafted for dogs who need a little extra security without sacrificing comfort. Unlike traditional collars, the martingale design tightens slightly when tension is applied, preventing your dog from slipping out — yet never choking or causing discomfort.
Perfect for breeds with narrow heads such as Greyhounds, Whippets, or Salukis, these collars also suit any dog that benefits from a gentle, no-slip fit. Each collar is handmade in leather or vegan leather, combining control, style, and durability.
How Do Martingale Dog Collars Work?
A martingale collar consists of two connected loops:
- The larger loop fits around your dog’s neck.
- The smaller loop tightens slightly when your dog pulls, creating controlled pressure that prevents slipping.
This intelligent design ensures your dog stays secure while avoiding the harsh tightening of traditional choke collars. It’s an elegant balance between freedom and safety.
Why Use a Martingale Dog Collar?
Prevents Dogs from Slipping Out
Dogs with narrower heads or softer fur often escape from standard collars. A martingale collar keeps them safely secured without discomfort.
Gentle Control for Training & Walks
Unlike chain or prong collars, martingales use soft, even pressure that encourages better leash manners — ideal for everyday walks or light training.
Comfortable for Daily Use
Crafted from premium leather or vegan leather, our martingale collars combine function and fashion, ensuring both comfort and durability for daily wear.
Other Dog Collars
For dogs with shorter necks or calmer temperaments, a Thin Collar offers lightweight comfort. If your dog is strong or has a longer neck, explore our Wide Collars for added support and even pressure distribution. For standard adjustable designs, visit our Dog Collars Collection.
Finding the Right Size & Fit
A properly fitted martingale collar should rest loosely around your dog’s neck but tighten slightly when pulled. Follow the two-finger rule — you should be able to slide two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck when the collar is tightened.

Caring for Martingale Collars
Maintain your leather martingale collar by wiping it gently with a damp cloth and treating it with leather balm occasionally.
Vegan leather models can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water — simple, sustainable, and stylish.
