Your dogs head size will not matter in this case (e.g., Greyhounds, Shelties, etc.) *The collar size you select should adjust large enough to fit over the head, and adjust small enough to fit comfortably around the neck. A martingale collar provides control over a dog without choking it. A martingale dog collar does not put pressure on the dog's neck and cause choking. Martingale collars work great with any breeds especially breeds whose necks are larger than their heads and they are more secure than buckle collars.
