My boy is a real escape artist, and I mean real - Julius K9, loads that people have recommended as being for 'Houdini dogs'. He also chews through leashes, including a beautiful, very expensive leather and brass….which he neatly chewed into 8 inch lengths when I was foolish enough to leave it below 6 feet up....the only thing I trust my boy to be tethered in is his current harness - a Ruffwear Webmaster. For walking, yes, a martingale (and oddly enough, Butu has never worked the trick when slack), but I'd definitely not trust him tethered. I'd get him one of these, and probably a chain and trust him in an open stall where he can see you and you can chat....I'd make the chain long enough that he could stand in the entrance, but could go inside the stall if he wants a sleep, drink, food from his bowls....do not let him near tack, horses feeding stuff, horse's anything - and I'd be cautious about hay too.... Chealsie508 - have you tried these (Ruffwear Webmaster?) If this hadn't worked I was going for a Ruffwear Doubleback, which costs a serious amount of money (but when I think of the number of useless harnesses I've bought..) but is the nearest thing I've seen to a doggie straitjacket - it's used by those people who drag labradors rock climbing....

Martingale Collar help
-
Does anyone know where I could purchase a Martingale Collar with a buckle? All I can seem to find online are regualr Martingale Collars, but I would really like one with a buckle, like a normal collar.. thanks!!
-
This website has great collars, and you can get them made in a regular martingale, side release or combo. They also have GREAT prices (the martingale/side release are only a dollar more). I have ordered from them several times and they have great items and wonderful quality.
-
I didn't think martingales could be made with buckles??…interesting
-
Try looking at the website www.majesticcollars.com they make them for you. I am sure a buckle could be added.
-
We just got a couple the other weekend at on of the shows from the on ground vendors. I will have to look and see if they have a website.
-
2houndsdesign.com has great collars and martingale with buckles. We love the regular martingales we got for Nexa and Leo.
