The Martingale Collar: A tool to aid in training, not to replace it.
Here at Tanzo, we believe training gear should guide learning, without forcing it.
The Martingale Collar is used as a tool for loose-leash training when combined with positive reinforcement. When properly fitted and used correctly, it allows for gradual adjustment, improves communication between dog and human, and supports learning without creating unnecessary pressure points.
👉 This is the only training tool in our collection.
We refuse to carry coercive or punitive gear, including electric, shock, prong, or slip collars. These tools do not align with our values nor our vision of animal well-being.
What is a Martingale Collar used for?
A Martingale Collar is used as a tool for loose-leash training without pulling, combined with positive reinforcement. It allows for a gradual adjustment and helps improve communication with your dog, without creating pressure points when used correctly.
Why does Tanzo only offer the Martingale Collar for training?
Because it is the only option that aligns with our values.
We have chosen not to carry coercive or punitive gear, including electric, shock, prong, or slip collars. We believe the Martingale Collar is the only responsible choice to assist learning without constriction.
Will a Martingale Collar stop my dog from pulling?
No, the Martingale Collar is not a miracle maker.
It does not replace consistency, proper training, or learning. It is a support tool that works when combined with consistency and positive reinforcement.
When is a Martingale Collar the right tool?
The Martingale Collar is a good solution when:
- The dog is learning not to pull during loose-leash walking
- Training is based on positive reinforcement
- It is always used with supervision
- The collar is well-adjusted to the dog
When should I not use a Martingale Collar?
The Martingale Collar is not for:
- Correcting behaviour without consistent training
- Using without a clear method or intention
- Wearing without human supervision
- Replacing training or professional help, if needed.
What is Tanzo's position with regards to coercive training tools?
Our position is clear: We will never sell any.
We sell products online, which means that anyone can buy them, anytime, with no direct support. Some training tools require assistance from an expert in order to be used correctly. Used incorrectly — even with the best intentions — they can cause injury, create discomfort or even aggravate aggressive or reactive behaviours.
For these reasons, we have chosen not to offer products that can present a risk for the dog when not being guided by a professional.
Here at Tanzo, we believe that real learning happens through understanding, communication and respect for the dog. Not through punishing or coercing.
Need help to make the right choice? Write us a message. We are here to guide you, no pressure and no jugdment.
Here at Tanzo, every collar is made with intention.
Our gear reflects a responsible, respectful approach that supports a dog’s learning journey while honouring their well-being and the human–canine connection.
