Description

Perfect for training or everyday walks—The chain allows the collar to tighten a bit, but not too much. Perfect to keep dogs from “backing out” of their collar when on leash. This design offers a gentler alternative to a choke, slip, or prong collars. 

Sometimes called a “half check” or “hound collar,” this collar tightens a couple of inches when leash pressure is applied to prevent dogs from slipping their collar without being choked. A Martingale is the best option for sighthounds because of their thick necks and small heads means they can easily slip out of regular collars,

This collar is handmade in our own workshop from the same premium materials used for our leashes, and has the highest quality chain assembly that has been custom fabricated just for us in solid brass or stainless steel. BLD builds collars to last a lifetime.

Adjustable for a custom-fit and is available in two styles:

Original Clip-On style is our favorite! Clips around the dog’s neck, so you don’t have to put it over their head. Elegant and minimal, our uncommon adjustment buckle remains adjusted when you take the collar of your dog. It is sleek and has no tail of leather to flap about.
Clip-on Style is ONLY available with stainless steel (silver) hardware

Buckle style utilizes a regular flat buckle design. Buckle is secure and easily adjusted as you put the collar on your dog, yet is slightly bulkier than the original.
Available in stainless steel (silver) or solid brass (gold) hardware

**NOTE: Electronic devices will not fit this collar, our quality materials are too thick.**
Best for dogs over 18 pounds due to our sturdy, quality materials.
Not designed as, or recommended for, full-time wear or as an ID tag collar.
Please note that the half-check action of the chain could possibly get caught on objects and not allow the dog to escape.

Our English Bridle Leather in LONDON TAN has a supple, satin-smooth finish and satisfying hand feel that is simply unmatched. This high-end leather in London Tan, cherished in the 19th century for the finest horse tack, ages to a warm patina while keeping its light brown and orange tones.

Our lovely BLACK LATIGO leather is solid black and cut from select USA hides. Superior in quality and texture, it is incredibly durable yet very flexible. This leather feels great from the start and will simply get better with age.

Leather care is easy! Don’t worry too much, and don’t be afraid to use your items — we promise leather is incredibly resilient, and regular weather won’t hurt it. If you think your item looks dirty, dry, or just need a little extra love, pouring a little leather conditioner on a cloth, and rubbing it in like lotion will usually do the trick. Baths and a jaunt in the river are just fine, but you might want to offer a little conditioner to your products afterwards. Saltwater can be harsh, so after a visit to the ocean, a good rinse in fresh water and proper conditioning will help preserve and protect your treasured leash or collar. See our Leather Care page for more specific information.
