RC Pet Products 1-1/2-Inch All Webbing Martingale Dog Collar, Medium, Pirate Pooch

This "soft-choke" collar works well if your dog is already trained to walk on a leash. It works like a Chinese finger-cuff in that It tightens as the dog pulls against the leash, but it doesn't get so tight that it actually chokes the dog. It merely restrains the dog.( I would not recommend that it be used to train a dog.) What I use it for is when I take the dog with me on bike rides to run along the side of me. With a standard collar, the dog had on occasion backed out of his collar when he had been spooked by another dog, animal, runner or biker. With the Martingale collar he no longer backs out of the collar, thus avoiding the possibility of running into traffic. Between myself, my wife, son & daughter-in-law, we have 4 dogs and 4 of the Martingale collars and we all use them on bike rides.

TIP: If you attempt to have your dog run along with you on bike rides, switch the brake line cables on your handle bars so that the left brake lever controls your rear brake as you will be holding the leash in your right hand to keep the dog to the right of you. This will keep you from going over the handle bars as both you and the dog learn to ride/run together.
