The Martingale Dog collar is also known as a Greyhound Collar or Humane Choke Dog Collar. They were originally designed for Sighthounds (ie, Greyhounds, Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Borzoi, Saluki, etc) because their necks are larger than their head; but these collars have gained popularity among other breed owners in the recent past.
AKC Dog Show Owners prefer the Martingale Dog Collar because it does not damage the fur and will not crush the trachea. Many trainers have started to recommend them because they prefer its gentle choke over the choke chain. Others have learned about this style of collar and have made the switch from regular buckle collars.

i agree, dog collars are really important, particularly anti-choke collars or no bark collars that are effective, humane and safe for controlling unwanted barking.
