| Re: Martingale collars I just got back from a nice long walk with precious Bailey..it's so cool and pretty in the fall..and on the way out I used a Flexi lead and the martingale and let her run out ahead and everywhere she wanted around me..on the way back I shortened up the length and locked the Flexi and had her stay close..about 3 to 4 feet to my side. I put Flexi line BEHIND my legs, so that any forging ahead was almost self correcting and boy did that ever work great !
Each time she would go too far ahead, she would hear the chain noise and correct her position :o)
The more I use it , the more I like this martingale. The prong is too much collar for Bailey as she is quite sensitive and I don't like using a choke at all. With the limited tightening of the martingale, it gives her a chance to use what she understands without too harsh a correction. I also LOVE the way it slides around her neck as we change positions from left to right, etc.
I used the martingale on her in town yesterday walking on the sidewalks and into the hardware store and the bank and it was just great.
It has the added feature of being a viewer friendly training collar.
I have it adjusted to it JUST slips over her head :o)
Just thought I would share :o)
