Halti Headcollar For Dogs

As a dog trainer, I love the Halti. They are a great alternative to the prong collars and choke collars. They redirect the dogs attention without hurting them in any way. I would suggest looking at one size down from what they suggest in the description. My size 3 fits most dogs 60-70 lbs. I have used it on Labradors, Am Staffs, Staffordshire Terriers, Huskies, etc. The size 4 are too big to use on most of these dogs.

This thing is terrific. I use it in combination with a harness, and a leash with two hooks (so the leash is hooked to the harness on the dog's back, and to the halti under the dog's chin). The halti sits loose on the dog's snout. The dog can open his mouth, drink water, eat a treat. But if he pulls or lunges, the halti clamps his mouth shut.

When we first got the halti, I was showing it to my dog to get him accustomed to it. Just in the living room. Well, he was extremely interested and wanted it on. I think the very light touch on his snout felt good to him. He wore it around the house for a day or two before I began walking him with it.

When we began to use it on walks, I was very careful not to pull the halti. For the first few days, all my leading was done with the harness. Well, the day came when he lunged and the halti clamped down on his snout.

That was it, he refused to wear it on the next walk. So I took him using the old collar and leash. But the next walk after that was at dinner time. I showed him his dinner then held it back and offered him the halti. He refused. I put dinner in the fridge. Half an hour later I took dinner out again, and again showed him dinner and offered him the halti. This time he accepted the halti. I put it on and he ate dinner while wearing it. Took him for a very long walk immediately after, and was careful not to pull on the halti.

Over time I have gradually used the leash with the halti, and now there is no issue at all. When he starts staring at another dog or at a cat, I use the halti to move his head and redirect where he's looking. It works like a charm. On the rare occasion that he lunges at a dog or cat, the halti clamps and it's very easy to pull him in another direction.

My only complaint is that the clasp is hard to close. The "female" part of the clasp is open-sided and the "male" part slips out the sides. The clasps on the harness are closed-sided and they fit together effortlessly, every time. With the halti clasp, I have to give it two or three tries before I have it positioned right. My dog has long hair and that makes it worse, because his hair will get caught in the clasp. I think catching the hair may be unavoidable because of the position of the band on his head but it would be minimized with a closed-sided clasp.

Life would be a lot easier if the clasp would connect on the first try. I walk my dog at least twice a day. Multiply that by taking several attempts each time to get the clasp positioned right and snapped closed without tangling up the dog's fur. I'm not dinging the stars for this because the halti itself works excellently for the purpose. But it really could be made better without much effort at all.

I purchased this for our German shepherd. We have tried choke collars, spike collars, gentle leader, and e-collars to get him to stop pulling on the leash when we walk him. This one finally did the trick. It works on the same principle as the gentle leader, but there is an important design difference that makes this more effective. There is an extra strap on each side that helps prevent the collar from slipping around his neck and out of place when he pulls. This makes all the difference. The portion that goes around his neck doesn't have to be as tight, making it easier to put on. The strap adjustment under his muzzle is easier to use. The nose piece is padded too. Great purchase, and I'm amazed we finally found something that works!
