If you own a dog that is a problem puller, then the HALTI harness will definitely help you teach your dog to walk more calmly by your side. For new puppy owners who are beginning to train their dogs to walk to heel and to behave appropriately on the lead, pulling is a very common problem-which may potentially be solved with the use of a Halti-style collar. However, they are by no means the only or even best option for all pups that pull, and puppy owners should think carefully before using a Halti on a puppy, as well as being clear about its benefits and limitations, and potential problems.

The Halti No Pull Harness provides a simple solution for any dog that pulls on the lead.The combination of a no pull lifting action and front control steering makes training easy and can be used individually or together to manage different levels of pulling.Paired with the Halti Training Lead, the Halti No Pull Harness provides immediate control for even the strongest pullers, so you can walk happy with Halti. If you want to make your dog's harness even more unique, you can also add your own logo to the harness, such as custom patches with your own design and color. You can style them with your favorite theme or your dog's name and pattern and sew them onto the harness. This is something that I noticed maneuvered itself a lot on walks, especially with Chris. I'd adjust at the beginning and 10 minutes into the walk, it'd be looser than I'd adjusted it to before we set off.

There is a reflective strip woven into the outer edge of one side to provide high visibility on walks in darker mornings/evenings and it's also machine washable. Ultimately, the least cruel way to stop your dog from pulling is to use positive reinforcement training to teach them to heel. Features • STOPS PULLING - a simple no pull solution for most dogs, with both a no pull lifting action and front control steering.A perfect option for flat nosed breeds who can't wear a headcollar Some dogs are hypersensitive to something on their face, and it might be easier to teach them to walk nicely on the leash than to wear a head halter. At the same time, many of my reactive dog clients have benefitted enormously from the extra control that a dog head halter provides. The Halti should be viewed as an aid to proper control and training, and not as a substitute; you will still have to work pro-actively with your dog when they are wearing one!

While the Halti is designed to enhance your level of control over the dog, some dogs will become overly submissive and subdued when working in a Halti.

The first Halti product was the Halti headcollar, created in 1979 by Dr. Roger Mugford. It was designed to help owners who were struggling with dogs who pulled excessively when on walks or on their leash. As we mentioned in the section ‘what is a Halti’, we will be looking at the Halti head collar for the rest of the guide. A slip lead is similar to an ordinary lead, except it has a loop on one end rather than a clip to go on a collar or harness. This means that the collar part can go tighter or looser depending on how much they pull.

If you are familiar with the use of a halter on horses, the Halti for dogs is an approximate equivalent. This does mean many dogs are less likely to pull as a result. But, it can be a very uncomfortable process for them. Suitable for use from eight weeks old, it is the perfect head collar to get them walking perfectly right from the very start if they tend to get a bit overexcited. It works like a halter on a horse, pulling their nose and face a certain way thanks to the fact the lead attaches to the bottom of their chin.It's very rare a product leaves me short of words, but the HALTI No-Pull Harness and its matching HALTI lead fall into that category. Not because they're necessarily bad, but not because they're necessarily good. More, I can't actually work them out. Halti is the creator of the world’s first headcollar for dogs, “solving lead pulling problems for over 40 years”. This headcollar prevents pulling by gently steering and guiding your dog’s direction. It is made from strong, but lightweight nylon webbing, designed for comfort with adjustable nose and cheek straps and a padded neoprene noseband that won’t interfere with panting, eating or drinking. Todd, Z. ‘ Barriers to the Adoption of Humane Dog Training Methods’, Journal of Veterinary Behavior (2018) The HALTI brand is well established and has a good reputation so I thought I'd start off on the right foot and the team kindly offered to send us their same brand Double Ended Leads to review too. In short: Will a HALTI harness stop my dog from pulling? For this reason, we would always recommend buying a dedicated headcollar which can be used in the proper way. Materials
