Dog Collars
From adjustable dog collars to calming collars that provide aromatherapy for your pup, there’s an almost endless variety of different dog collars and accessories available. How do you choose the right one?
You’ve already made the first step—reading this article. We’re going to go over the different styles of dog collars, tips to ensure the right fit and information about our specialized Pet Stop® Dog Collars. Let’s dive right in!
Types Of Dog Collars
So. Many. Collar. Options.
Choosing your new dog’s collar can be a fun way to broadcast his or her gender, personality and playfulness. Be it bright pink, heavy-metal spiky, or featuring a whimsical name tag, the dog collar is more than the first item in your dog’s pet wardrobe: it is also one of your main tools in helping keep him safe, well-trained, and happy!
Martingale Collars
A martingale collar has 2 loops. The first loop slides around the dog’s neck. The second loop tightens when your dog pulls the leash. This slight tightening feeling may be enough to discourage a dog from pulling on the leash while you walk together.
Breakaway Collars
When a dog wears a standard collar, there is always a risk that they could become strangled on objects such as fences. However, when a dog is wearing a breakaway collar, the collar is designed to open in situations such as these. Putting a breakaway collar on your dog could save your dog’s life.
Reflective Dog Collars
If you walk your dog at night, a reflective dog collar is an absolute must. Being able to be seen in the dark is very important for your dog and for you.
Personalized Collars For Dogs
Instead of having a dog collar with a dangling ID tag, you could try something different. Your name and contact information can be sewn onto the dog collar’s fabric.
Calming Collars For Dogs
Calming dog collars have only been on the market for a short time. They are designed to help dogs who have anxiety issues. Filled with herbs and botanicals, these fabric collars offer a soothing aroma that is designed to calm a nervous pup.
(Dis)honorable mention: aversion collars.
Nowadays, so many sane and humane training methods exist for the most rascally pup, and such things as choke collars, prong collars, and even shock collars are no longer endorsed by veterinarians. However, there is a persistent misunderstanding that the more popular electric fence companies utilize shock collars as part of their systems. With Pet StopⓇ receiver collars and ers, nothing could be further from the truth.
About Pet Stop® Dog Collars
Pet Stop® collars are an essential ingredient in our innovative Pet Stop® hidden fence system. They allow your dog the freedom to roam, without sacrificing the security that you need. With a few weeks of our Gentle Steps™ training, your dog will happily know
and respect their boundaries. This means in a few weeks, your dog can be playing safely, and you can have the peace of mind that you need.
The great part is that no matter which Pet Stop® system you choose, your dog’s collar is comfortable, and the receiver is small and lightweight, at only 1.3 ounces.

Ensuring A Proper Collar Fit
Be sure to measure the circumference of your dog’s neck so that you can purchase the correct size of collar. If you are able to try the collar on your dog, that is helpful. When you do this, try to slide two fingers under your dog’s collar. If you can’t, your dog’s collar is too tight. If you can get 3 fingers underneath, then your dog’s collar is too loose.
The Gentle Steps Training Program
The key to success with our Pet Stop® dog collars is our Gentle Steps™ training program. This program trains your pup to stay within the boundaries of your hidden fence by using alerts and barely-there sensations to correct behaviour when your dog tries to leave your property.
Our Pet Stop® dealers will help you adjust the hardware of your Pet Stop® dog collar to ensure that the corrections are completely painless for your pup. Once the collar has been adjusted, your dealer can even take you through the first steps of the training program. Most dogs are completely trained on our invisible fences in a couple of weeks—and it’s all thanks to our specialized dog collars and the Gentle Steps™ training program!
Installation
Our invisible dog barriers are designed to preserve the beautiful view you have of your yard and to give your dog the freedom to roam and survey their territory. Our dog collars play an important role in the systems, but they’re not the only component.
When you contact your Pet Stop® dealer for installation, they’ll bring over two other key components in addition to the collar: A boundary wire and a transmitter. Working with you, they’ll find the perfect configuration for the boundary wire, then install it underground to create a perimeter for your pup.
Once the wire is installed, they’ll connect it to a chew-proof transmitter that will typically be installed in your basement or garage. Finally, they’ll adjust the receiver—your dog’s collar—to maximize comfort. Our collars are built to be both sturdy and lightweight; they’re just like a regular dog collar, but with the added benefit of protecting your pup!
