Double-ended safety cord serves as a back-up attachment for your leash. 

Use with head halters, prong collars, martingales, front clip harnesses, or any type of training tool as a fallback plan. Just in case. Why? Because sometimes you need peace of mind by having two points of attachment. Excellent option for Houdini dogs who somehow wriggle their way out of their gear or shake loose from the leash or harness.

BLD’s Brahma Safety Cords are designed for use with head halters, training collars, martingales, front clip harnesses, or any type of training tool as a fallback plan to ensure your dog stays securely connected.

Using Carabiners

How to use Locking Carabiner Snap:

1. Spin the lock to open (clockwise) and release the gate
2. Snap onto the dog’s collar or harness
3. Spin the lock closed (counterclockwise) to secure the gate
4. Always spin the lock completely closed when in use on the dog’s collar or leash to ensure the snap is locked

Caution! Locking Carabiner snaps must be fully locked closed when in use. Failure to spin the gate lock closed may cause the hook to bend out of alignment and fail. The lock sheath reinforces the hook part of the snap to make it secure. BLD’s leash warranty assumes proper use of this snap.

Introducing the new and improved BLD Martingale Collar!

Martingales are among the safest collars to use with a leash because there is no choking and dog's can't slip the collar. 

These beautiful leather collars are made from the finest leather and highest quality stainless steel chain. Edges of the leather are beveled for a smooth edge for comfort and to protect your dog’s coat.

• Adjustable leather collar for walks and training
• Prevents dogs from slipping out of the collar
• Rust-free solid stainless steel chain
• Many sizes and widths to fit nearly any dog
• Lifetime Warranty on materials and workmanship
• Artisan handcrafted in Colorado, USA!

Sometimes called a half-check or limited-slip collar, it's designed to fit loosely, then partially tighten enough with leash pressure so the dog cannot back out of the collar. It's a great choice for small nervous dogs as well as large powerful dogs. 

We've re-designed our popular Martingale Collar with a wider selection of neck sizes and widths from 5/8 inch wide for small dogs, and up to 1 1/2 inch wide for large breeds. 

Warranty and info about our leather can be found below.

NOTE: Martingales are intended to be used with a leash; not recommended for full-time wear or when the dog is unsupervised for concern the chain could get caught on an object and trap the dog.

Styles

Select from two styles:

• Plain - sleek design has minimal hardware and slips over the dog's head; Conway adjustment buckle is smooth on the inside and won’t irritate your dog. The collar stays adjusted to the dog's neck size, plus, there's no excess "tail" to flap about.
• Buckle-style - has a regular buckle for adjustment; it can be buckled around the neck, or slipped over the dog's head. 

FAQS

Frequently asked questions about BLD Martingale Collars: 

Do you offer a clip-on style? For safety concerns, we no longer offer the clip-on style. 

Can you add a quick release type buckle? No, sorry. Quick release type buckles are not available because the hardware required to make them takes up more than half of the dog's neck size.

Can I change the hardware to brass or gold color? No, sorry. We've discontinued the brass chains because the oxidation can stain dog's fur.

I'm not sure what width is best for my dog. What do you recommend? If your dog has a lighter frame, or is sensitive to gear, choose the narrower option. If your dog is burley and thick, like bull dogs and bully breeds, the wider option would be great. 

My dog's neck is in between sizes. What size should I order? Our collars are designed with a little extra room than the stated size range. If your dog is young and in-between sizes, size up to allow a little room should your dog fill out or gain weight. A larger collar can always be adjusted smaller.

Introducing the new and improved BLD Martingale Collar!

Considered one of the safest collars to use with a leash, the half-check chain prevents choking. Sometimes called a half-check or limited-slip collar, it's designed to fit loosely, then partially tighten enough with leash pressure so the dog cannot back out of the collar. It's a great choice for small nervous dogs as well as large powerful dogs. 

• Adjustable leather collar for walks and training
• Prevents dogs from slipping out of the collar
• Rust-free solid stainless steel chain
• Lifetime Warranty on materials and workmanship
• Artisan handcrafted in Colorado, USA!
