2. Waterproof Airtag Collar – Best Value

When it comes to safety, you can’t beat a collar that can track your dog easily and effectively. This waterproof Airtag collar is not only water resistant and durable but also features an Apple Airtag holder for an airtag to sit comfortably and securely. This is wonderful for easy location tracking, though it won’t be of much use without other Apple software.

All of these features in addition to the affordability leave this collar as our pick for the best collar for Cane Corsos for the money. The collar is constructed with a combination of nylon, metal, and thermoplastic polyurethane and ranges in size from small to extra-large.

Unlike a lot of other choices on the list, this collar only comes in black. Other big dog owners love how wide and tough the construction is but there were a few complaints about the plastic buckle breaking on a few products.

Buyer’s Guide — Choosing the Best Cane Corso Collars

Shopping for dog collars can be a bit overwhelming and shopping for a sizable, strong breed like the Cane Corso can be even more challenging. That’s why we’ve provided some extra tips for picking the right collar for your stunning dog.

Things to Consider When Shopping for a Collar

Size/Width

You must choose an appropriately sized collar for your Cane Corso. The majority of collars on the market will not only include the size but will tell you the neck measurements for each size.

Measure your dog’s neck to ensure you choose the proper size collar. It should fit snugly but also be loose enough that you can slip two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck. You should also keep the width in mind when shopping for a large dog like a Cane Corso, as wider collars more evenly distribute pressure and protect the neck from injury or damage.

Material

Dog collars are made from a wide variety of materials. Some of the most common materials include nylon, neoprene, polyester, leather, and more. If you have a dog that enjoys swimming, you may want to have a waterproof collar on hand for those adventures.  Each has its pros and cons, so it’s a good idea to figure out what kind of use you need out of your collar to pick the right material.

Clasp

The most common clasp types on collars are traditional clasps that snap together, buckles that function much like a belt, and quick-release, or breakaway, clasps that are designed to pull apart if they were to get snagged on something.  Some collars are even designed to slip over your dog’s head and tighten against tension, which is common during training.

Type

The type of collar you need will be largely dependent on your specific needs. There are so many different types of collars out there that you should consider what you will be using them for. You have options for everyday use and identification purposes, those used for training, and much more.

Most Common Types of Dog Collars & Their Uses

We mentioned how important it is to be aware of what you need out of your collar since there are so many types. Here we will go over the most common types of collars you can expect to find as you shop around.

Standard Collar

Standard dog collars are the most common collars on the market. They will have the widest variety of color and/or pattern options, allowing you to pick a style that suits your personality. These collars are great for everyday use and as a place for your dog’s ID tags. They can even be used on walks if your dog behaves well on a leash and doesn’t pull. They will often either come with snap closures or buckles.

Breakaway Collar

Breakaway collars are designed to pull apart when there is any tension against the collar. These collars are great for dogs that get left alone or unsupervised for long periods, as they give you that extra sense of security knowing that if your dog were to get snagged on anything, their collar will pull apart, preventing injury or even potential death by strangulation.

These collars are great for everyday wear but are not going to be ideal when you are out for a walk. If you put tension against the collar while out and about, it could pull apart and your dog could get loose, putting them at risk of being lost or injured.

Martingale Collar

Martingale collars are great for training and going on walks but because of their design, they should only be used for these purposes. It’s best to keep your standard collar for everyday use. Martingale collars are a very popular type of training collar because they are comfortable and the safest to use.

These collars are designed specifically to tighten when your dog pulls but will loosen when the tension is released and stop pulling. They are also highly effective for dogs that like to back out of their collar when they are reluctant to go for a walk.

Tactical Collar

Tactical collars were first used for military and police dogs, so they are often made from heavy-duty materials and designed to withstand extreme conditions, as well as allow the handler to have extra control with a grip handle. Your average dog owner that isn’t involved with high-drive working dogs may use these for the looks or even have that extra handle to feel more secure when out and about.

Prong Collar

Prong collars are often seen used on powerful dog breeds as a training tool by some dog trainers and owners for teaching proper leash walking and basic obedience. These collars are controversial and discouraged by several organizations because they are designed to cause discomfort when the dog begins to pull. They should ideally only be used by professional trainers to prevent injury to the dog.

Choke Collar

Choke collars have been around for quite some time. They are another training collar meant to correct pulling behavior and promote appropriate leash walking. The metal chain collar is designed to tighten against the dog’s neck when they begin to pull, discouraging them from the behavior. This is another controversial training collar and it’s best to talk to a professional trainer or your veterinarian because of the associated risks if used incorrectly.

Conclusion

Finding the perfect collar for your Cane Corso may be a bit challenging with all the options, but according to the reviews, there are some great choices out there. The Soft Touch Leather Collar not only looks nice but is designed for your dog’s comfort. The Waterproof Airtag Collar is a budget-friendly, durable option that gives Apple users the ability to attach an airtag and track their dog’s location.

The KONG Max is the brand’s most durable collar and is designed for large powerful breeds like the Cane Corso. It’s important to find a collar that will suit you and your dog’s needs. There’s nothing wrong with having some extra options on hand for training sessions, or just changing things up a bit when you feel like it.
