Measure neck and add at least 5" to get over head. You'll adjust when you put it on. I have a cattledog weight 50lbs and she wears a medium hope this helps

Go to: 2houndsdesign.com/How-to-measure-for-a-Martingale-Collar.html. There is a diagram that will explain. I have always had retired racing greyhounds and have always used Martingales, which the premier collar shown on Amazon is. They are great

Use a tape measure. The size of the collar of usually the midpoint in the adjustments.

yes, they do put that info in. It tells the inch range that a dog's neck can be for each collar. Take a soft tape measure or a string if you don't have that, and put it around your dog's neck where the collar would go, not too tightly. Read the inches of that circumference. Now look at the inches listed when you click on a size of the collar, above. Easy.

You need to measure your dog's neck & check the CM website for the suitable size collar. I use the "small" on a 40lb staffy, but it's too small for the yellow lab that I walk.

Hi, For sizing, we suggest to measure snugly pet's neck size and add 2-3 inches to get the proper length. If the neck size is 12 1/2", we will suggest Medium size. Thank you! Amazon Seller: DogCollars

I gave this as a gift to my daughter-in-law who has a small Chihuahua/Cairn Terrier mix and guessed at her size. I don't know the dog's neck size but the collar fit her and she is a small, but not tiny dog. Sorry I can't be of much help here.

I would suggest going by the length from the ear to the shoulder because the collar is very rigid and will hurt the dog's ears if it's too long. The width around the neck can be adjusted somewhat with the Velcro closing.

The key dimension on a dog collar is the circumference around the neck. For the Rogz obedience Half check collar the size recommended is the X-Large (Lumberjack) which fits Rottweiler, Ridgeback, Bouvier, Labrador, Mastiff and similar breeds. The neck circumference catered for is 17"-29" (The webbing is 1" wide.) 17"-29"1"

Well I ordered the product anyway and figured if the collars didnt fit I would make adjustments somehow. Well for my 7 lb yorkie the fit is ok it's a bit big on the shortest setting but its fine. It moves around a bit but is not completely too loose to use. For the 8 lb cockapoo the shortest setting is also ok. the instructions say not to have the prongs touching the neck anyway so the shortest collar setting is fine for both my small dogs! Hope that helps!

My collar is 21 inches and very well-used. I trimmed some off of it when I got it, so I'm not sure how long it was originally, but it fits my Female Rottweiler.

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

Here is what I posted in an answer before. I am going to guess that you will probably want a small size. I measured the length in this post below, but the width, I would guess at least of the medium, is about an inch or so... that's just a guess from what I can remember though. I have the medium for my 7 month old German Shepherd, who weighs about 60 pounds, and we just now are looking to have to order a large for him, as it is on the loosest hole right now. I just measured his medium collar - it is 21 inches long, from end to end. It is 19 inches from loosest hole to the buckle, and 15 inches from shortest hole to buckle. Hope that helps. EDITED TO ADD: I just purchased the large size collar. For anyone looking for Large size measurements: It is 26 inches long, from end to end. It is 24 inches from loosest hole to buckle, and it is 20 inches from shortest hole to buckle. My dog's neck currently measures 19 inches, and the large fits him on the second to tightest hole. The large collar is thicker than the medium as well, and the leather feels a little stiffer (still GREAT quality), just needs to be worn in a little bit.

The collar pictured is a versatile size and should work well for you. The length is long enough for larger dogs and can be cut shorter for smaller dogs

You should NOT buy a larger link just in order to get the size around the neck correct. You should use the smaller link and add more of them. For a dog less than 40 lbs. you can use the 2.5 mm size (small) and add extra links, which come in packs of 3. The collar should fit snuggly; otherwise, if loose, it will irritate the dog's neck and you won't be able to make a gentle correction.
