Collies and Collars
I recently helped rehome a friend’s sweet smooth collie boy into a new home. I think he’s going to be super happy there, get a lot of attention, and maybe even get to do some Rally-O. I hope so. He already knows most of the stations and just needs to be trained off leash a bit.
His new family wants a new collar for him, and a friend of mine recommended a martingale. What kind of collar do you use for your collie?
A collies’ head is generally more narrow than his neck. Which means any type of collar can just slip off over his head. One type of collar that is really good for a collie who has learned the slipping-the-collar trick is a martingale.
If you Google Martingale Collar, you’ll find a bunch of examples. I would post some here but there are too many. There are some gorgeous ones. You might want to Google Martingale Collar Greyhound, as sight hounds often wear them. Even the small Italian Greyhounds wear them, and these dogs are nice and little and you could even have them in Condo Hotels.
I am curious as to what type of collars collie people use.
