Martingale Collars

Does your dog pull? Dogs that pull on the leash can be really frustrating. Teaching them to walk nicely isn’t easy, either, especially if your dog is super excitable. There are many training tools available to aid the frustrated dog owner who wants to help teach their dog to walk properly. Some of those training tools include head halters, choke chains, and the martingale collar.

Each training device uses the same principle, which is to use a varying degree of uncomfortable force as an aversive aid. This force works to condition the dog to walk without pulling on the lead. However, there’s a problem with some of these training aides. For example, the head halters can be difficult to use, especially on a large dog. Choke chains are dangerous, so dangerous that they’re even illegal in some cities in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide). The training aid gaining most popularity is the martingale dog collar.
