Choosing the right product for your dog
So how do you know what the best collar is for your dog? Well, you know your dog better than we do, but if you are a new dog owner, keep these simple rules in mind:
If you have a puppy that has never worn a collar or harness before, we suggest starting with a plain nylon quick release collar or plain harness for the following reasons:
They are lightweight and comfortable for a first collar or harness
They are affordable, as your pup will grow quickly and will need a larger collar in a few months
They will not become noticeably marred if your pup scratches and bites it (typical puppy behavior!)
If you have an adult or rescue and do not know the extent of his/her training or behavior on a leash, we recommend a martingale collar for the following reasons:
Martingales are excellent for leash training
If your new dog tries to pull back/resist moving forward on a leash, the martingale will constrict around the neck, preventing your new best friend from slipping out of the collar.
If it is a small dog, we suggest a harness, which prevents potential damage to those with delicate tracheas (check with your vet for further info).
product Sizing
While our product sizes are similar to other pet collar manufacturers, we are not the same. We strongly urge you to measure your dogs neck or girth with a soft tape rule. Doing so will ensure the correct fit and elliminate the need to return or exchange your purchase.
