Collars & Leashes

Dog collars and leashes, compared by fit, material, and use: flat, martingale, large-dog, small-dog, puppy, reflective, and budget collars, plus standard, retractable, and hands-free leashes. Start with the best collars overall, then narrow by your dog.

Deciding factors

Fit: two fingers between collar and neck, checked regularly. Hardware: buckle, clip, and stitching matter more than style. Leash type: standard for walks, retractable only for open areas, hands-free only for trained dogs.
