Martingale collars adjust to fit over your pet’s head then adjust to fit comfortably around their neck. The D ring on the loop is where you attach the leash or lead. This gives you the control of a choker without the actual choke. Imagine having a thread around your arm and have someone pull it. It will hurt, but you will go where they are leading you. But now imagine a belt around your arm and someone pulls it, you will go where they choose, but it won’t hurt. The same theory for a martingale; it gives you control of your pet without the pain.

1.5" wide fits up to a 23" neck

custom sizes available

Please check out our matching 1” x 65” leashes for $18.

The webbing has a tensile strength of 5,500 lbs. The metal findings are welded and nickel coated.

Each collar and leash is handmade in my workshop here in Angola, IN.  I hand sew the ribbon to the webbing. Then hand assemble and sew each and every collar and leash. 

Welcome to our dream

Welcome to Dorothy Jean Designs. Never has there been a day in my life when I haven’t been proud to be Dorothy Jean’s only daughter. From her I learned to laugh, to love, to create, and to dream.

When she passed away in 1999, I knew I wanted to spend my life making her proud of me. This business is the way I am doing it. I learned to make beautiful things from Dorothy Jean, and I want you to benefit for the talent she infused in my genes.

Please shop around, and know if you have a special order, I will try my best to make that happen.

And if you are local to NE Indiana, I have been doing alterations for casual and formal wear for the past decade; I’d love to make your wardrobe fit you like you WANT :)

the co-creator

 Sox is the best buddy I never knew I needed. He stuck his gorgeous head out of a car window in May of 2015 while I was collecting his peoples’ toll. Being the dog momma I have always been, I remarked on just how beautiful he is. And they asked me if I wanted him! Of course, I said no, I had a 9 year old boxer at home that quite liked being an only dog. But I did know a couple of people who may have been interested, so I took their info and went along with my day. Later they sent me photos and explained that he needed to find a new home, they loved him so much but their landlord, not so much.

The very next day, he came to live with me (!!) and he decided right then and there I would be his person. In May of 2015 he was a strapping 90 lb., 9 month old fella. Now, he’s 5 and filled out to 127 lbs. He's been an only dog for over a year now, and my sweet girl, that boxer, loved him so very much. He misses her every day, but I think he now understands why SHE liked being an only dog.

He loves cuddles, car rides, his babies (the grandkids), and spending time with his best friends; Max, Millie, and Phoenix. Oh and he is my begrudging model, he'd much rather YOU sent in photos of your best buddy so he doesn't have to keep looking at momma's camera.
