At the moment they can be bought from myself, John or 4paws up in yorkshire. They are also available on www.martingaleheadcollar.co.uk - so you can use a credit card etc. thrugh paypal or on ebay.

The plan is eventually to put into shops but that will require putting them into mass production, to compete with Halti's etc. At the moment I am looking into local vets, boarding kennels and trainers - that way I can provide a free sample to try out and then a discounted rate on any that they purchase so that they can make some profit.

By next summer I want to start putting them into small independant pet shops.

What's a dragons den?

If you'd like to try before you buy John does have a few samples, as do I. From the postcode I suspect Slough? You could come to Basingstoke and try one if you'd like, take the dog for a walk or grab a coffee somewhere and I can make you one while you wait.

Heard this advert on the radio on the way home from work.

http://notinmylocalshop.com/

They are looking for goods made at home but can't be found in the shops yet. Ring any bells. They have a section for pets but nothing to sell in it. Poss a good outlet for your home made collars and leads.

Worth investigating??

I can now offer these with a narrow, subtle reflective strip along the nose & head bands. This has been tested and is very bright but doesn't look garish in the daytime. With this strip they will be £11.

Hi i have to say the martigale headcollar we got for our gsd has worked our so well our puppy is only nine mounths and we where told all sort of differant things to use but we tried the head collar and what a diffrance ozzy walks along side me and i'm not getting pulled down the road.

i have to say i have told loads of people round the park area near me as many have asked and i have exlpained and told them how benaficial the headcollars are compared to the halties

a brill product and i would rate it 110% absoultely wonderful my sholders also agree

Tanith seems to have given up making these head collars but the good news is that someone else is now making and selling them, they have been improved by putting a bigger o ring and a wider /stronger sliding clip which to some people was hard to adjust, I have been sent one to try and my verdict is 10 out of 10

Thank you, John, I only asked Pat about Tan Wheeler's collars, about a month ago.

Do they come in all sizes and colours, same as Tan's??
