How to Measure Your Dog for a Custom Martingale Collar

1)A Martingale collar needs to be big enough to fit over your dog's head --  measure (with a soft measuring tape) around the biggest part of your pooches head.

2) A Martingale collar needs to cinch up tight around your dog's neck when the dog pulls, without choking the dog --  measure the narrowest part of your dog's neck.  For dog's with lots of hair, pull the tape measure in past the hair close to the skin...otherwise the extra hair may cause the collar to slip off.

3) A Martingale collar needs to sit in the middle of your doggie's neck so that it doesn't hang down too far at anypoint and get the dog tangled up --  measure the width of your dog's neck at the mid point.  If your dog has lots of hair, measure loosely at the middle of the neck so that the collar will sit nicely in the fur. 

4) And now hug your dog for being sooo patient with you!

Thanks to all my GREAT dog loving customers who helped me with this guide to measuring for a perfect fit!

hint: No measuring tape? use a piece of string then measure it against a ruler.
