Review on 🐶 PetSafe Martingale Collar - Adjustable Design that Tightens on Dog's Pulling, Prevents Slipping - Ideal for Strong Pullers, Enhanced Control - Choke Collar Alternative - Available in Various Colors and Sizes by Jason Lewis

These collars save dogs' lives. I was walking down a trail with my dogs on leashes when an off-leash dog walking with his owner decided to attack my dog at the very last moment as we passed without any signs or warnings. Using my reflexes I pulled my dog (oh, a little for my dog) who squeezed her neck and pulled her into my arms and out of reach of the other dogs so that she only had a lot of drool on her side instead of biting. After this event her neck was fine, no damage, oddities, bruises or anything. I watched her for a couple of weeks to make sure. I sincerely believe that if I had a collar with a buckle, she would slip out and get a strong bite from an aggressive dog. My dog also has a walking harness and he can slip out of it when I pull on it (dog attack simulation). at the shelter and we use them to walk our dogs on the only run we have next to a very busy road and they really save dogs lives by preventing all the dogs from wearing a regular buckle collar. We use them on our smallest Chi for our big pit bulls and everyone is safe. We don't use them as choke training collars, we also use either EZwalks or Gentile leashes for walking. These are very safe, durable, cute walking collars. I highly recommend these collars, they are gentle, they do not choke because they are only pulled around the neck when the dog tries to free itself or slips out. They fit snugly around the neck so the dog's head can't slip through, keeping everyone safe, sound and happy. Please note that you should never use this collar if you plan to send your dog to a dog day camp or any other place where they will play unsupervised. With random dogs, you get a cheap buckle collar for this and that for your walks. The D-ring pulling on the neck can be grabbed by other dogs and cause your dog to choke, and if it's too tight they can deflate. Only use these collars when walking and near playgroups you may participate in to prevent biting and pulling on the collar during play. I don't leave these collars on my dogs when they are at home. I only use them for walking in the park and when I'm outside and I can control how my dogs play without biting the collar.
