The Halti brand claims that their head collar is designed to allow your dog to pant and yawn if it needs to. Owners of reactive dogs may see faster improvements, which is worth its weight in gold all on its own (those of you who have faced this before will know what I’m talking about). Headcollars like the Halti are a wonderful tool for people who would like to teach their dogs to walk nicely on-leash and are transitioning to walking on a regular collar. You can walk with a training lead attached to both the collar and the Halti, and gradually reduce how much you handle the headcollar. Eventually, you can stop using it altogether.
If you’ve got a dog who pulls hard on the leash and can be hard to control, a dog head halter can really help you regain control on your walks. As with any training aid, there are pros and cons to using them. However, used correctly, a Halti head collar can provide several benefits, including; Mugford has worked with more than 50,000 pets, written three books, including his most recent, “ The Perfect Dog ”, and has developed a variety of products to aid pet owners in their training and rehabilitation, including the popular Baskerville Ultra Dog Muzzle.Teaching your dog to heel is a much better long term solution to pulling, and doesn’t have any nasty consequences for your dog. Frequently Asked Questions About the Halti A dog head halter loops over your dog’s muzzle just below the eyes. You then attach your leash below your dog’s chin. When your dog pulls, the dog head halter puts pressure on the top of his muzzle, pulling his chin down or to the side. A properly fitted dog head halter gives your dog plenty of space to play with a ball, pant, eat, and drink. If your dog can’t hold a ball in his mouth with his dog head halter on, it’s too tight.
Being from a country that has banned the use of pinch, or prong, collars, and is slowly phasing out the use of e-collars and choke chains, there are limited solutions when walking on a regular collar isn’t quite working out. The wide availability of the Halti Headcollar was a huge plus. This does mean many dogs are less likely to pull as a result. But, it can be a very uncomfortable process for them. It’s clear that the main priority of this product is the comfort and safety of our dogs, as the noseband is padded and reflective (and it even has adorable paw prints), and there is a safety link so that you can secure the head collar to your dog’s own collar. Comfortable padding around the muzzle section ensures comfort and prevents skin abrasions. It’s not so tight that a dog can still breathe well, pant, drink, and even eat treats. This is especially useful while introducing your dog to this new collar. I personally feel that the Halti Headcollar is an invaluable resource for inexperienced owners who are unfamiliar with how to teach loose leash walking on a flat collar and need a way to tire out their dogs while they learn the ropes. Dogs need exercise whether you’re new to dog training or not, and walking a dog on a Halti is far better than not walking at all due to frustration from being incessantly pulled and struggling to maintain control.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. So, to avoid this, choose to train your dog using positive reinforcement methods. This will take time and won’t solve your pulling problem immediately. Halti headcollars are designed in multiple sizes and adjustable to ensure that the head harness fits well, while also not forcing the dog to keep his mouth closed. It’s important for dogs to be able to pant and drink because both help them cool down. It’s durable and veterinary approved. Ideal for agility training or just daily use, for both adult and young dogs. It’s easy to put on – the larger loop just slips over the dog’s head and the smaller one over the nose. But, until then, you can choose to manage the problem with a body harness and leash. How do Haltis Compare to Gentle Leaders?
Keep in mind that it will take less time to properly train your dog to wear a dog head halter in the first place than it will take you to “fix” a dog that has had a bad experience and is scared of the dog head halter!However, some general rules apply to all head collars that may make the experience easier for both you and your dog; A Halti is one of many aversive training tools. Evidence suggests that aversive methods like this can actually be detrimental to the physical and mental health of our dogs, as well as less effective. Persevere and be patient. The time you spend now will be short in comparison to a lifetime of easy walks! How to use a Halti head collar
