| Re: proper fitting of martingale style collar?
He's never actually backed out of a collar..my fear is if he did, especially with the conditions on the walk to the training building. Happy will pull like crazy if he's on the harness, but he's generally OK on the collar.
My biggest issue is I can't get a right "fit" on a flat buckle he has a very slender neck but has loose skin on the front, so if I feel it's tight enough on the back of his neck it's too tight on the front. I don't feel comfortable walking him with the flat buckle. I voiced this to the trainer and he suggested the martingale. He's a rottweiler mix, so his neck is a bit different. It's almost like the back is like a greyhound but the front is thick and somewhat loose like a rotties. Let me also note that Happy is still young, only 11 months old.
I appreciate your response. So I'm gathering I put it on like a regular collar, attach the leash to the loop, and basically use it like I would a regular collar but with the ability to tighten up if needed & also give correction when needed?  |
