If your dog’s a bit of an escape artist, our Adjustable Leather Half Check Collar could be just the thing. Designed for both style and security, it’s handmade from luxuriously soft Italian leather in your choice of colours, with the option of a contrasting lining to suit your dog’s personality.

Unlike standard martingales, this collar features a stainless steel check chain and a traditional buckle fastening, giving you the best of both worlds—style and easy adjustability. It’s available in four widths to suit most breeds, but do bear in mind that the narrower the collar, the lighter the chain. While it’s perfect for most dogs, very strong pullers or hefty breeds may benefit from a wider option for extra durability.

The check chain allows the collar to sit comfortably loose during walks but tightens gently if your dog pulls or tries to back out. Thanks to the buckle, you can fine-tune the fit, ensuring maximum comfort without compromising on control.

As with all Petiquette collars, the edges are rounded and the lining is soft, helping to prevent irritation or rubbing around the neck.

To get the best fit, measure the widest part of your dog’s head (usually around the ears), and use the buckle to adjust for a snug but comfy fit.

Each collar is made to order in our Northumberland workshop, crafted with care for dogs who deserve the best.

Perfect for breeds such as: Cockapoo, Bull Terrier, Dobermann, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler

Customise your collar

Each and every collar we sell is handmade to order by us, for you.

To create a collar as individual as your dog, simply pick your leather colour, and we'll do the rest.

Petiquette leather dog collar colour chart showing all 28 Italian calf leather shades available to order: Acorn, Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Black, Bottle Green, Candyfloss, Chianti, Daffodil, Dove, Dusky Pink, Easter Rose, Jaffa, Lime, Madeira Blue, Mushroom, Olive, Peanut Butter, Purple Velvet, Royal Purple, Ruby, School Grey, Shamrock, Signal Blue, Spearmint, Teal, Thistle, White, and Willow.

A note on shades. Each hide is naturally a little individual, which is part of what makes your collar unique. These are photographed in natural daylight and are as faithful as we can get them. Screen brightness can shift things slightly, so if you want to double-check a shade before ordering, just get in touch.

Measuring your dog's neck for a half-check collar is easy. The most important thing to remember is that the collar needs to expand enough to slide on and off over the head, but have the room to tighten to allow control.

That's why you'll need two measurements to get an accurate fit:
1. Measure around the widest part of the head - this is usually around the ears.
2. Measure the mid point of the neck - where the collar will sit during walks.

Enter these two measurements when ordering and we'll craft a half-check collar that will fit perfectly.

Important note - Don't add any fingers underneath the tape measure as that will result in a collar that is too large.

FAQs

How long will my order take?

All collars and leads are made to order. We typically dispatch within 3–7 working days, with Royal Mail Tracked 48 adding 2–3 further working days in the UK. Most orders arrive within 5–10 working days. A dispatch notification is sent by email. If you need a collar by a specific date, contact us before ordering.

Can I exchange my collar if it doesn't fit?

Yes. If the collar doesn't fit when it arrives, you can exchange it for a different size. The most common reason for a poor fit is measuring the total length of an existing collar rather than the dog's neck directly. Full details are on our returns and exchanges page at petiquettecollars.co.uk/returns.

What leather colours can my collar be made in?

Your leather collar can be made in 28 Italian leather colours: Acorn, Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Black, Bottle Green, Candyfloss, Chianti, Daffodil, Dove, Dusky Pink, Easter Rose, Jaffa, Lime, Madeira Blue, Mushroom, Olive, Peanut Butter, Purple Velvet, Royal Purple, Ruby, School Grey, Shamrock, Signal Blue, Spearmint, Teal, Thistle, White, and Willow.

How do I clean a leather dog collar?

A wipe with a damp cloth after muddy walks is usually enough to keep our leather collars looking good. For more stubborn stains, perhaps your dog has been rolling in fox poo, add a small amount of washing up liquid to the damp cloth and gently wipe the affected area. If your dog has been swimming, particularly in the sea, give the collar a wipe with a damp cloth afterwards to remove any residue or salt from the leather.

Half-check collar
I was really pleased to see this back in the shop! I had one previously for my young Labrador which she has now outgrown. Great to be able to purchase a replacement which should last her now she is almost fully grown. They are great quality and lovely to look at it. Highly recommended plus staff very helpful.

New Half Check Collars
I had searched and searched for good quality leather half check collars for my American Bulldogs, stumbled across Petiquette website and am SO glad I did! The collars are brilliant, I cannot fault them at all ! The leather and hardware is of such good quality, the fit is perfect and the 1inch collar width option looks great on my dogs wide necks! People have noticed my dogs lovely new collars and I have recommended Petiquette collars to everyone!
