Dog training collars are usually made of leather or nylon webbing, and sometimes of fabric, chain or even prongs. A clear understanding of each type of training collar is vital for you to select the right collar and ensure your dog’s safety and comfort.

Leather dog collars sport metal buckles similar to belt buckles and can be worn at all times. For training purposes, a flat collar will be more gentle than a rolled one when applying a correction. A good-quality leather collar will look good and last for years.


High-quality nylon dog training collars with a quick-release buckle will also be long-lasting, and that kind of buckle may save your dog’s life if there is a chance that his collar may get snagged and strangle him.

 


Martingale collars, or limited slip collars, are often referred to as greyhound collars. Originally created for greyhounds and designed for dogs with broader necks than heads, martingale collars are now used for dogs that pull out of traditional collars, regardless of breed. Truly the bane of little escape artists.


Choke collars, also called check collars, consist of a length of fabric or metal with a ring at either end. These collars can cause serious physical damage if used improperly and even create or exacerbate behavioral problems in dogs. Should only be used under the guidance of a Certified Professional Dog Trainer.

A Prong Collar is formed with a series of metal links linked together, with their blunt open tips directed toward the dog's neck. They are hard to adjust and can easily cause harm. Prong collars should also  only be used under the guidance of a Certified Professional Dog Trainer.
