The SteadFast™ Anti-Escape Martingale is designed to keep dogs safe.

Dogs respond to the world differently. If any of these instinct types resonate with your dog, anti-escape gear may help you feel more confident getting out together.

The Defender

Some dogs react quickly when they feel trapped, overwhelmed, or unsure. Sudden movements, unfamiliar people, busy spaces, or unexpected situations can trigger pulling, lunging, or backing out of a collar.

The Worrier

Dogs can be deeply affected by noise, movement, smells, and busy environments. Loud sounds, sudden shocks, or overstimulating spaces can lead to spinning, reversing, or trying to escape.

The Explorer

For some dogs, curiosity leads the way. New places, scents, people, and distractions can quickly pull their focus elsewhere, whether it’s following a scent trail or rushing towards something exciting.

The Worker

Dogs with strong hunting or working instincts often react fast and with purpose. Chasing movement, scent tracking, retrieving, or locking onto wildlife can create sudden bursts of power and direction changes.

The Socialite

Some dogs are driven by excitement around people and other dogs. Greeting, frustration, overstimulation, or social energy can lead to pulling, lunging, twisting, or backing away.

A well fitted Martingale can keep even the most instinctive dog safe on their lead.
