We use martingales for both of ours...not for the training issue but because both are capable of backing out of their collars if they get spooked or something, which is dangerous obviously. Backing out I was told is common for boxers bc of the size/shape of their head. Not typical for cocker spaniels, but he is actually really good at it. The martingales allow you to leave the collar lose, but they cannot back out bc as they start to back out, it tightens enough to prevent it.
