A leather martingale collar handmade from soft Italian leather for dogs with narrower heads and necks. It’s a popular choice for sighthounds like Whippets, Greyhounds, and Lurchers, as well as other breeds that can slip out of regular collars.

The martingale design gently tightens if your dog pulls or tries to back out, then loosens again when they relax. We fold the leather outwards around the rings to avoid any hard edges, and line the inside with the same butter-soft leather for a smooth, comfortable feel.

Available in widths from ¾” to 2″ and in 28 Italian leather colours, each collar is handmade to your chosen size in our Northumberland workshop. Finished with strong, rust-proof stainless steel hardware, it’s built for years of everyday use. If you’d like help deciding on the right width or style, take a look at our How to Choose a Martingale Collar guide before ordering.

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.

an illustration explaining how to measure a dog for a martingale collar from Petiquette

Measuring your dog's neck for a martingale 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 martingale 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.

If you're still unsure about how to measure your dog for a collar, then please get in touch through our contact form, email us on hello@petiquettecollars.co.uk or call on 0191 6031440.

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.

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.

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.

Can my dog wear a martingale collar all day?

Martingale collars are best suited to walks and supervised time rather than all-day wear. The tightening loop could catch on objects if worn unsupervised, which is why most owners switch to a lightweight house collar indoors. This ensures your dog always carries ID, while reserving the martingale for walks and training.

Wonderful Collar
Excellent quality and beautifully made. They even accommodated a special request to fit a tag during manufacture. Could not have asked for better.

Fabulously made collar
The martingale collar fits perfectly over my whippet’s head and I am so glad I got the matching lead. We tried other collars but they are not as well made or secure. The collar and lead look wonderful, is comfortable, and the leather is starting to soften over time. Dog loves it.

The Dusky pink leather martingale collar with olive stitching looks beautiful on our black female greyhound! We ordered a matching lead with dusky pink lined with olive leather. The quality of the leather is very nice and both items are beautifully made! Delivery was prompt. Highly recommend the company!

Beautiful work
The original collar was tight but, as promised on the website, this was rapidly corrected. It now fits perfectly. The workmanship is beautiful; we want another one.

Perfect fit and fast delivery
The martingale collar we received fitted perfectly thanks to the clear instructions for measurements provided on the website. The leather is clearly excellent quality, and we went for the chain option (we've found the sound helps dogs learn) which was also of good quality. Everything was exactly as ordered, and it was delivered very quickly. Happy customer!
