Question
My nephew has recently acquired a rescue dog.  She is a wonderful animal with a good spirit.  She is very smart and can slide out of any collar or body harness we have found.  Her neck is thick but her head is very slender. Is there something you can suggest?  

Answer

Hi Joy,

A "martingale collar" is made for dogs who heads that are smaller than their neck, such as the Saluki and Greyhounds. If you can't find a martingale collar, any collar made for a greyhound would probably work for your nephew.

You can read more about this of this kind of collar here:

Best of luck,
