How to fit/size a martingale
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi, I'm new here and have a quick question. I've seen conflicting information on the web about sizing/fitting a martingale collar. Should it be loose on the neck and then tighten to the diameter of a standard flat collar when closed? If that's the case, it tends to move around the neck alot...

America Vs. Europe
Posted to: News & Entertainment
