Description
1″ Classic Martingale Collar Design
The 1″ Classic Martingale Collar comes with an easy on/off clasp so you don’t need to squish your dog’s head to put it on, and can just be put on quickly and easily (you can request a standard martingale with no clasp if you want below). The Martingale Collar has been designed with a stainless steel or solid brass chain and Chicago screws making it super durable.
- Martingale chains available in stainless steel or solid brass
- Chicago Screws for extra durability
- 1″ D-Ring
- Two-Tone option available
***Please note that the chain can occasionally alter the color of light-colored dog’s fur. Again, in that case we recommend our adventure martingale option which does not have a chain.
Sizing Guide for the 1″ Classic Martingale
Our classic martingale collars come in two style options: with a quick release clasp or without. Please read the measuring instructions based on the option you are ordering.
QUICK RELEASE:
With a soft tape measure follow the following steps to find the right collar size.
- Have your dog sit or stand.
- Measure your dog’s neck. Again, make sure you can slip a few fingers in between the measuring tape and your dog. (See gallery photo for example)
- Choose the collar size with the range that fits your dog’s neck measurement.
NO QUICK RELEASE (SLIP ON):
- Have your dog sit or stand.
- Measure your dog’s neck. Again, make sure you can slip a few fingers in between the measuring tape and your dog. (See gallery photo for example)
- Measure your dog’s head at the widest point. Usually this is in front of the ears, and below their jaw. Make sure you can slip a few fingers in between the measuring tape and your dog so the collar can slip on and off. (See gallery photo for example)
- Choose the collar size with the range that fits the larger of your dog’s head/neck measurement.

Collar Hardware Information
Our Classic Martingale dog collars are made with stainless steel or solid brass chains and Chicago Screws. The only hardware piece that is not stainless steel or brass on this collar is the small strap adjuster, which does not tend to oxidize easily.
Stainless steel *may* eventually rust (but not easily), and brass does not rust but rather develops a patina. Stainless steel and brass are the best options if you plan on using your collar in water, especially saltwater.
To prevent the hardware from oxidizing it’s best to dry your product ASAP, and to especially rinse off any saltwater. In the case that your hardware rusts or patinas, we recommend searching Google for the best methods to remove the discoloration (methods are different depending on which metal you chose).
Cleaning Directions
To clean your collar, take a bucket of water (temperature doesn’t matter), and add some dish soap. Then swish the collar around in the bucket, rinse clean and allow to air dry. For more stubborn areas use a gentle wet cloth and rub with a bit soap and rinse clean.

The burgundy color is gorgeous. The feel of the collar is so soft but so sturdy. This is the best collar! There’s nothing like it

The easy on/off clasp is fantastic! It’s as simple as adjusting the collar once and your done, no more extra adjustments or having to squish your dogs ears trying to get the collar on!

Quality is amazing. Looks fabulous. I ended up having to put this on a different dog of ours than the dog it was ordered for because it was a little too big. My dog was between sizes so I sized up. I should have stayed at the size M because the size L was WAY too big for my female lab. She could slip it over her head with little effort. It fit our German Shepherd on the smallest setting but just barely. Atomic Hound offered a refund but it looked really good on the GSD so we kept it. Lol!

It took a bit to get this fitted right but I love it. No more stinky collar.

Finally a collar that won’t stink & can be wiped clean. Very happy with the sky blue & yellow color combo too.

Awesome collar! I searched high and low for a reasonably priced, durable, attractive and high-quality collar and FINALLY found it! We went with an indigo biothane collar with a caramel strap holder and it looks great. We love it and so does our dog. I’d recommend this collar to anyone who is looking to upgrade from a nylon collar. We like it even more than a leather collar too because it’s so easy to clean. We’ll be lifelong customers!

I love this collar so much! Koda is a lot more receptive thanks to it and I feel a lot safer walking her on it in the city with its tightening nature. We got the Caramel 1” Martingale with easy on/off clasp with a Cocoa accent. Also featured in the picture is the Classic 1” Flat Buckle Collar in Cocoa with Caramel accent. I can not say enough good things about AH and this gear!

Perfect! I got the quick release clip because my dog’s head is quite a bit larger than her neck and it’s amazing and allows me to get a perfect fit!
