now sells traditional and martingale style collars with
greyhounds proudly displayed right on the collar.
We carry greyhound tag collars, and the greyhound-specific MARTINGALE collar is exclusive to BigDogBoutique/CollarGirl.com
A greyhound
collar is also known as a safety
collar or a limited
slip collar. The greyhound collar was designed
for dogs whose necks are larger than their heads (like
greyhounds and whippets); but martingale collars have
gained popularity among terrier, working dog, and other
breed owners who prefer the gentle control of a martingale
collar over a choke chain, owners of dogs who try to
back out of their traditional buckle collars, and agility
and flyball trainers who want a handy "handle" on their
dog's collar at all times.
A greyhound collar is fitted to the exact size of the dog's neck when the
collar is in the closed position. Properly fitted, the
collar will be comfortably loose when not in use. When
the martingale loop is pulled, the collar should be
very snug, but should not constrict the airway. If
properly fitted, a martingale collar is safe to
wear everyday, but if used in training as an alterative
to a choke chain, the martingale collar should be adjusted
to fit slightly tighter for the time of supervised training
only.
