How to Use  

Usage Instructions    

• Measure your dog's neck: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the middle of your dog’s neck.
• Slip over the head: The martingale collar is designed to slip over your dog's head without a buckle, then sit comfortably around the neck.
• Attach the leash: Connect your dog's leash to the D-ring on the martingale loop to activate the gentle no-slip control mechanism when needed.
• Use for walks only: Martingale collars are intended for supervised walks and training only; remove the collar when your dog is unsupervised.
• Check the fit regularly: When the collar is fastened, you should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between it and your dog’s neck.

Additional Information 

Care Instructions

• Clean leather with conditioner: Apply a leather conditioner to the base of the collar periodically to keep the leather supple, moisturized, and resistant to cracking over time.
• Wash textile with mild soap: Gently clean the textile covering using a small amount of mild soap, warm water, and a soft sponge.
• Air dry naturally: After washing, allow the collar to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before placing it back on your dog.

Safety Instructions    

• For supervised use only: Martingale collars are designed exclusively for leash walks and active supervision.
• Verify fit before use: Always confirm the collar fits correctly before each walk; it should rest loosely on the neck.
• Not for tie-out use: Do not use a martingale collar as a tie-out or tether, as unsupervised use significantly increases the risk of entanglement.
• Monitor for wear: Regularly inspect the collar for any signs of fraying, weakening stitching, or hardware damage, and replace it if any structural issues are found.

Frequently Asked Questions  

Q1: Who makes the Handmade Martingale Artesanal Collar?

Ans: The Tulum Handmade Martingale Artesanal Collar is 100% handmade by women artisans from the Tzotzil indigenous community in Chiapas, Mexico. Tulum HM collaborates closely with this community to blend traditional artisan techniques with modern pet accessory design.

Q2: What is a martingale collar and how does it work?

Ans: A martingale collar is a limited-slip collar with two loops. When a dog pulls on the leash, the smaller control loop tightens the larger neck loop to a safe, preset limit. This prevents the dog from backing out of the collar without causing choking. 

Q3: How do I choose between the Small/Medium and Medium/Large variant?

Ans: Measure your dog's neck circumference with a soft measuring tape at the center. The Small/Medium fits necks approximately 40-50 cm (15.74-19.68 in), while the Medium/Large suits necks approximately 50-60 cm (19.68-23.62 in). Select the size that best matches your dog’s measurement for a comfortable and secure fit.

Q4: How do I clean the Tulum Handmade Artesanal Collar?

Ans: The leather base of the collar should be cleaned and maintained with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple over time. The textile covering can be gently wiped with mild soap, water, and a sponge. Always allow the collar to air dry completely in a ventilated space after cleaning before use.

Q5: Does my purchase support any social causes?

Ans: Yes. Purchasing the Tulum Handmade collar supports two meaningful causes: it provides sustainable, fair employment to indigenous women artisans in the Tzotzil community in Chiapas, Mexico, and it financially contributes to the Tulum HM dog rescue foundation based in Guadalajara, Mexico, which has rescued approximately 800 animals since 2019.
