Siz­ing

A Step Ahead Col­lar can be made in a vari­ety of sizes and widths.  To order a col­lar that fits, it is import­ant to accur­ately meas­ure your dog.

SIZE FITS LENGTH
Small Whip­pets 11 – 15″
Medium Grey­hounds 13 – 18″
Large Boxer 15 – 20″

measureYourDogSiz­ing Directions

  1. Meas­ure the widest point around your dog’s head.  This is the most import­ant meas­ure­ment if your dog is not a sight hound.  The mar­tin­gale does not have a buckle, so it must slip over the widest part of the head.
  2. Meas­ure right behind the ears.  This is how snug the col­lar should tighten if the dog pulls or backs up.
  3. Meas­ure the point around the neck where you’d like your col­lar to rest.

To select a size, choose the largest dimen­sion of your 3 meas­ure­ments.  For example, if you meas­ure: 1) 18″, 2) 16″, and 3) 17″, then choose size Large to eas­ily slide over the dog’s head.  The col­lar then can be adjus­ted to fit more snugly around his neck.
