Description

BLD’s unique Martingale Collar design is adjustable and is easy to get on and off your dog. It is available in two styles:

  1. 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. This option is only available with stainless steel/silver colored hardware.
  2. Buckle style is available if you prefer a regular flat buckle design. Buckle is secure, yet slightly bulkier than the original. Available with either stainless steel/silver or brass/gold hardware.

Handmade from the same beautiful American leather as all of our products, we have found the highest quality chain assembly and hardware available for a collar that will last a lifetime.

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 collar and it is an excellent tool to transition a dog off of a prong/spike collar. This collar can be adjusted to sit snug and high on the neck or loose and low on the neck for a gentler option. Measure where you want the collar to fit.

The martingale collar is a great option for sighthounds and dogs that can slip out of regular collars. Since the collar tightens a couple of inches when leash pressure is applied, your dog won’t be able to back out of the collar, yet won’t be choked.

**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.

Leather:

We have two colors of leather: tan and black. Read more about our leather color options below:

Our Golden TAN BRIDLE leather is 100% American vegetable-tanned leather, made with NO dyes or toxic metallic chemicals. Every item crafted from this high quality leather is HAND-OILED to bring out the softness, so your new gear arrives supple and only improves with age. The color will darken over time and with use.

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.

    Katrina, thank you so much for expediting my order last week for the Martingale collar for my rescue Oscar!

    Prior to ordering from you I spent a few hours researching Martingale collars and your design is not only functional, but also elegant and incomparable.

    Best regards, Robert

    Great collar! Having tried several webbing type martingales,that were slip on,so they needed to be big enough to fit over my dogs head but then were difficult to adjust once on. These collars with their clip on design are great,basically set it and forget it!! The combination of leather and chain is stylish and functional.While two of my dogs aren’t really pullers my lab is he responds wonderfully to just a slight correction with this collar!!
