When Your Dog Slips Their Collar Mid-Walk

The Great Escape

Some dogs are born Houdinis, especially sighthounds with narrow heads. One moment you're strolling, the next they're backing straight out of their collar.

Our half choke Martingale collars gently tighten when needed, creating a secure but comfortable fit that won't slip off when your dog pulls back. It's peace of mind, built into every walk.

Why It Works:

• Adjustable fit that tightens only when needed, giving you a secure hold without squeezing.
• Perfect for slim-necked breeds like Whippets, Lurchers, and Greyhounds.
• Escape-proof design offers a safer alternative to flat collars or everyday harnesses.

Whether your dog is a seasoned slip artist or just starting out on lead training, this collar gives you gentle control without the worry of them breaking free.

The Great Escape
You Love Walks. Your Shoulder Doesn’t

The Tug and Dash

Dogs that pull can turn a peaceful walk into a full-body workout. Standard collars often make things worse.

This collar design responds with gentle tension when your dog pulls, offering subtle guidance without the harsh snap of a choke chain. It helps dogs slow down while keeping walks calm and comfortable. It’s like power steering for dogs.

Why It Works:

• No sudden jolts — just responsive pressure that guides, not punishes.
• Encourages loose-lead walking, reducing pulling without force.
• Comfortable for everyday use, including training and longer walks.

For dogs that rush ahead or pull on the lead, this collar offers control without discomfort.

Tired of Stylish Collars That Can’t Handle Real Life?

Style vs. Substance

Some dog collars look good but fall short on comfort or durability. Many designer collars don’t stand up to daily use.

Our tweed dog collars with martingale design strike the balance between timeless style and everyday function. They’re soft-lined, strong, and washable. Smart enough for Sunday brunch, tough enough for muddy walks.

Why It Works:

• Gentle on skin with a soft lining and no sharp edges.
• Durable and shaped to move with your dog
• Classic British tweed for understated style.

The kind of collar you’re proud to clip on every day.

Beautiful Today, Battered Tomorrow

Some collars look gorgeous at first — until your dog rolls in fox poo, splashes through puddles, or drags it through the undergrowth. That pretty fabric? Faded. Frayed. In the bin by Friday.

Ours are made in Yorkshire using real Harris Tweed and Abraham Moon wool. We back them with durable webbing, line them with soft cotton, and treat them with Scotchguard to repel dirt and moisture.

Why It Works:

• Tough wool, webbing core, and reinforced stitching.
• Scotchguard protection keeps dirt and damp at bay.
• Fully machine washable for easy maintenance.

When it’s time to clean? Toss it in the wash. No drama. No delicate handwashing.

Beautiful Today, Battered Tomorrow
Crafted here. Designed with care. Worn with pride.

Tired of generic collars from who-knows-where?

You know the type — mass-produced, shipped from who-knows-where, stamped with a forgettable logo. No details. No care. No meaning.

Our collars are different. Handmade in the UK using authentic Harris Tweed from the Outer Hebrides, each one carries its own story — stitched with intention and steeped in British heritage.

Why It Matters:

• Designed and made in Yorkshire with British-sourced materials.
• Crafted from authentic Harris Tweed for character and charm.
• Produced in small batches by skilled hands, not factory lines.
• A thoughtful alternative to soulless, off-the-shelf collars.

When your dog wears one, it’s more than a collar. It’s a piece of craft, a sense of place, and a small act of rebellion against throwaway design.

Martingale Dog Collars - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a martingale (half choke) collar—and how does it differ from a choke chain?

A martingale collar (also known as a half choke or limited choke) is a dual‑loop design that gently tightens when your dog pulls, preventing escape without squeezing like a choke chain. Unlike choke chains, martingales stop tightening once snug, so they are more gentle your pup.

What breeds are martingale collars best for?

Martingale collars are ideal for sighthounds like greyhounds, whippets and lurchers.

They're also great for dogs with narrow heads or those prone to backing out of regular collars.

How should a martingale collar fit?

A martingale collar should fit snugly without choking. When pulled, the tightening loop should close without pressing into the neck. Measure your dog’s head and neck carefully, and use the two-finger rule to ensure comfort and safety.

Are martingale collars safe for dogs?

Martingale collars are safe when fitted correctly and used with supervision. They tighten just enough to prevent escape without choking, offering a safer alternative to choke chains or slip leads.

Can you use a martingale collar for training?

Yes, martingale collars are useful for gentle leash training. They give mild feedback without jerking or choking and can help discourage light pulling when combined with positive reinforcement.

Can martingale collars be worn all day?

No, martingale collars should not be worn when your dog is unsupervised. Because they have a loose loop, there is a risk of snagging on furniture, crates or branches which can be dangerous.

Do martingale collars stop dogs pulling?

Martingale collars help manage mild pulling but are not a complete solution. They provide gentle pressure as a cue, but consistent leash training is still needed to stop pulling behaviour fully.

What makes tweed martingale collars different?

Tweed martingale collars from Collared Creatures are handmade using Harris Tweed or Abraham Moon wool, lined with Kona cotton, and reinforced with internal webbing and brass or stainless-steel hardware for strength and comfort.

Are martingale collars better than regular collars?

Martingale collars offer more control and safety than regular collars for dogs prone to slipping out. They provide a secure fit without the harshness of choke chains, making them a gentler option for walks.

Can I wash a tweed martingale dog collar?

Yes, Collared Creatures’ tweed martingale collars are machine washable and Scotch Guard treated. This makes them easy to clean while preserving the fabric’s appearance and durability.
