[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A martingale is different from a choke collar because it has a stop point, and you can get one so that the tightness never gets to the point that the dog is actually choked. For some dogs, particularly sight hounds, with small heads relative to their neck, they are needed to keep the dog from backing out. [/quote] This. Sight hounds can easily slip regular collars. I'm not putting a choker on my greyhound, so martingale it is. [/quote] I have a greyhound too. I hadn’t checked or tightened his martingale collar in a while. I noticed it was loose last week on a walk and figured I’d tighten it when we got back home. He was walking behind me and a few minutes later, I heard a noise and suddenly the leash went completely slack. I turned around and there was the collar, still attached to the leash, but laying on the ground, and my dog just standing there, looking like WTF? Lesson learned.[/quote]
