The collar has a limited closure and a Martingale loop, so it is aimed at small and medium dogs. Before ordering, measure the widest part of your dog's head: the head has to pass through the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDogs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium, 16-19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecific uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBehaviour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the chrome plated collar is built from and how it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band and chain parts are made of chrome plated steel, a finish the manufacturer lists as resistant to rust and tarnishing. Two linked sections form the double link band, and the collar fastens with a limited closure that sets a stop on how far the loop can close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn use, the Martingale loop draws in when tension is put on it and releases when the tension drops. The manufacturer states that the tightening gives a controlled training cue rather than a steady pull, and that the Martingale layout makes it harder for a dog to back out of the collar. Edges are finished without sharp points or rough patches, which the manufacturer gives as a reason fur and skin are less likely to catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes your dog's neck and head fit this collar?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collar is listed for a neck measuring 16-19 inches and for small and medium dogs. Run a tape around the base of your dog's neck where a collar sits and check that the number falls inside that range, since a neck outside it is not what this size is made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHead size is the second check, because the collar has to slide over the head to go on. Measure around the widest part of the head, usually across the ears and cheeks, and compare it with the collar's opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich dogs does the medium size suit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich breeds is the medium collar listed for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the maker's list sit the Poodle, Boxer, Bully Pitbull, Bulldog, Dachshund, Shiba Inu, Welsh Corgi, Springer Spaniel and French Bulldog. The deciding figure, though, is the neck measurement: 16-19 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the collar closed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt closes with a limited closure, which acts as a stop on the Martingale loop instead of letting the band draw in without limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the collar do when the leash is taut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe loop tightens with tension and loosens again once the tension is gone, and the manufacturer describes the tightening as a controlled training cue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat metal is the collar made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is chrome plated steel, which the manufacturer lists as rust and tarnish resistant, and the colour is silver.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mystercome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477572153407,"sku":null,"price":31.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/mystercome-martingale-collar-medium-16-19.jpg?v=1794722052","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/mystercome-metal-martingale-collar-medium","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
