This type of collar is slightly different from a typical buckle collar. The collar consists of 2 connected loops; one connects to the leash and the other goes around the dogs neck. When the dog pulls on the leash, the collar tightens up evenly around instead of yanking from one side. This functionality offers a little more control and also makes it so that dogs can’t back out of the collar.
This is critical for rescue dogs that are a flight risk but it just makes sense to use them for my own dogs as well. I found when shopping for martingale-style collars, the selection was very utilitarian and rarely included any fun prints. Because I wanted something more stylish, I began making the collars. My goal is to make rescue dogs more approachable and safe at the same time. But I love all dogs and am flattered to able to dress any of them!
During Covid quarantine, I taught myself how to macrame and I. can’t. stop. knotting!!! Orginally spawned from my love of plants, I have expanded from the typical plant hangers to elaborate wall hangings and more. Which brings me to my odd little gathering of dog collars and macrame that are in no way related other then being made with love by me.
