Adjustable Leather Half Check Collar

(17 Reviews)

From £30.00

A secure and stylish adjustable leather half check collar with stainless steel chain. Handmade in soft Italian leather and finished with a traditional buckle.

Description

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.

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.

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!
