LUCKYDC Martingale Dog Collar - Small Red Reflective Training Collar - Adjustable, Anti-Slip for Medium to XL Dogs

The LUCKYDC Martingale Dog Collar (Small, Red) is an adjustable training collar designed to prevent dogs from slipping out while providing gentle control. Made from high-density nylon with reflective stitching, it suits dogs with neck measurements from 11 to 13.5 inches. This collar is an alternative to choke or prong collars for medium to extra-large breeds needing consistent training feedback.

How a martingale collar differs from a choke chain

Unlike a traditional choke chain, which tightens without limit and can cause injury, a martingale collar has a limited slip design. When your dog pulls, the collar tightens only until it reaches the size of the chain loops, then stops. This gives you control without choking, making it safer for training sessions and daily walks. It is recommended by many trainers for dogs that tend to back out of standard collars.

Getting the perfect fit

To measure your dog, wrap a soft tape around the top of the neck (where the collar sits) and press down through the fur for accuracy. The size Small fits necks 11 to 13.5 inches. When fastening, you should be able to slide two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck. If the collar does not tighten when you pull the D-ring, it is too loose and needs adjustment to a smaller size.

Specifications (size S model)

Who is this small size collar best for?

While the martingale mechanism works for any breed, this specific size fits dogs with a neck circumference between 11 and 13.5 inches. That includes many medium-sized breeds like spaniels, terriers, or smaller retrievers. However, the collar is part of a series that also includes medium, large, and extra-large sizes, so owners of bigger dogs can choose a larger option.

Frequently asked questions
