Types: Flat Collar & Martingale Collar (you may NOT place a prong collar, choke chain or shock collar on any DWB dog for ANY reason)

What is a FLAT COLLAR?

A flat collar is a regular collar – the kind you’re probably most familiar with. Usually with plastic snap, or metal buckle closures.

Flat Collar Pros

There are many different types and colors to choose from.

Dogs adjust to wearing this collar easily.

It’s easy to fit and adjust.

You can easily attach tags and leashes to it.

Flat Collar Cons

Until dogs learn to walk politely on leash, they might pull against the collar Nylon collars can loosen with time and do not have “no slip” systems built in to their designs Trainer Tip: Don’t pull on the leash to try to get your dog’s attention, which will inadvertently teach your dog to pull back—and make a flat collar useless. “If you pull back to get their attention when they’re sniffing, or pull on the leash to tell your dog to sit, you’re trying to control your dog by pulling on the leash instead of controlling him vocally,” Ulbrich explains. “You’re teaching your dog, ‘you pull, I pull.’”

How to use a FLAT COLLAR

Flat collars should be fit using the “two finger” rule: Once the dog’s collar is fastened, you should be able to easily slide two fingers under the collar. When you slide the width of your two fingers between the collar and neck, the collar should feel snug, but not tight. If the collar is LOOSER than this, the dog can be a slip risk. Tighten the collar until you hit the “two finger” tightness. NOTE: If your foster dog’s collar is always coming loose, or cannot be tightened to follow the two finger rule alert the staff immediately.

What is a MARTINGALE COLLAR?

A Martingale is a “no slip” collar, traditionally used on narrow headed breeds (like Greyhounds) and dogs who are prone to “backing out” of their collar when frightened or startled. They typically do not have a closure but instead slip over the head and then are tightened after being put on.

Martingale Collar Pros

Virtually impossible to escape if properly fitted and leashed in the correct manner.

Martingale Collar Cons

Can cause damage to neck if dog pulls excessively over time.

How to use a MARTINGALE COLLAR

Martingales work by sitting loose until pressure is applied by the dog pulling against the leash and then it SLIPS (or tightens) to a closer fit so that the dog’s head can’t slide out.

What is a cabbage slang?

slang : money, cash.

Cabbage, Not the Vegetable

Does the "filching" meaning of cabbage bring to mind an image of thieves sneaking out of farm fields with armloads of pilfered produce? If so, you're in for a surprise. This use has nothing to do with the leafy vegetable. It originally referred to the practice among tailors of pocketing part of the cloth given to them to make garments. The verb was cut from the same cloth as an older British noun cabbage, which meant "pieces of cloth left in cutting out garments and traditionally kept by tailors as perquisites." Both of those ethically questionable cabbages probably derived from cabas, the Middle French word for "cheating or theft." The cabbage found in coleslaw, on the other hand, comes from Middle English caboche, which meant "head."
