I didn't know about these collars until I recently adopted a young Boxer who had not been properly leash broken. She was sent home with me wearing one and I had every intention of switching to a metal choke chain. Because it is made of one inch wide material, it is more gentle but just as effective as a metal choke chain. It may not have the snap sound a metal chain produces but I'll trade snap for gentle any day. It's a perfect training collar for leash breaking and when combined with Premier's Proleash, it eliminates the need to wrap the lead around your hand to shorten up for training. (No more aching hands when your dog acts up.)I showed dogs for many years and I wish this collar had been around then. If you own a dog who constantly pulls on their collar and drags you about when you go for a walk, buy this collar. I highly recommend it and as a thank you, I'm sending three new ones to the rescue shelter where I adopted my new dog.

My dog trainer suggested we try a Martingale so I ordered this one on Amazon. When it arrived (a little late), I had a difficult time adjusting the collar to fit properly on my dog (a slender Border Collie). For some reason, I hadn't noticed that there was no clasp/buckle for taking the collar on and off. When sized to fit my dog's neck, it was difficult to put the collar on over her head. Yet, it is ineffective to use this kind of collar if it is too large. I tried adjusting the collar while my dog was wearing it, but I just didn't want to go through that hassle every time I use it (since I was not planning to leave it on all the time.) Instead, I purchased a similar collar that did have a clasp. Works much better for us!

If you have a greyhound and don't want a fancy custom Martingale collar then this is the collar for you. I have used these collars for many years and I wish the dogs lasted as long as the collars!

They are easy to wash (just hand wash them with a bristle brush and some soap), and once you fit them they will stay the same size forever, without slipping.

I would definitely recommend the 1" over the 3/4" even for small females because it is much sturdier and much less likely to slip off skinny heads.

This is a great collar and a useful tool for teaching a dog to walk on a leash. However, please DO NOT leave this on your dog in the house or playing. Our dog died last week because she asphyxiated. My two dogs were playing and it got wrapped around one dog's lower jaw and we could not get it off in time. I want to save others from this tragedy.

This is fine, but it would be great if it had a quick release buckle. I understand they want to keep the inside of the collar smooth for a gentle correction, but I think replacing the metal adjuster with an adjustable quick release would make this more usable. As it is, we don't use it as often as we'd like because getting it on the dog and then adjusting it each time is a hassle.

We have had dogs all our lives, and we were glad when this style of collar came out. It used to be known as a greyhound collar because the small tightening loop allows the leash to pull the collar until it is just tight enough behind your dog's ears not to slip off over the head. At the same time, the collar does not tighten too far and "choke" your dog, as a chain collar does. We don't have greyhounds, but have found this collar style best for many dogs, including Weimariners, even Labs.

so i got the "red" collar. when i looked at it when i put it on my dog, i saw red. but like 5-6 people have said, "why would you put buddy in a pink collar?" and the closer i look at it, the pinker it is. oh well.
my dog has a habit of breaking collars right away and i like this one because it doesn't seem to have any weak parts, but it's also not big and clunky.

There's not a lot you can say about a collar except you can't go wrong with this one. I really like the martingale style because it never slips off when you need it most. I have a large powerful breed so I don't like plastic snaps, which this collar does not have. Very functional...good fit. Great choice.

Bought these collars (4 of them) for my St. Bernard & boxer. I nearly lost my St. Bernard a month ago cuz he slipped out of what I thought was a decent collar. I had seen these on greyhounds and at the local shelter, but could not justify spending $15.00 on one. These will not break away or slip off a dog with a narrow head. LOVE them!!!! Awesome price, awesome service!

I love this collar! I have two pugs that I like to take out for walks but they can get out of control sometimes (especially when I put a harness on them). Collars are actually not recommended for pugs because they slip out easily but I need to get some control. Well this collar did the trick! Now I don't have to be switching between collar and harness either. They don't even try to get out of control anymore. I loved it.
