Step by step

  • Step 1.

    Adjust your Martingale using the slides onto the largest setting.

  • Step 2.

    Slide the collar over your dogs head ensuring it can also come back off without getting caught on their ears.

  • Step 3.

    Place the collar where it would sit on your dogs neck and adjust to a snug fit.

  • Step 4.

    When the control loop is pulled up the main loop should tighten around the dogs neck, but the metal sliders should never touch.

  • Step 5.

    If the metal slides touch at any point the collar is too big and could risk injury or escape of the dog

  • Step 6.

    When wearing an ID tag with a Martingale, ensure you put it on the slider, not on the D-ring.
