HALTI Headcollar Size 3 Black, UK Bestselling Dog Head Harness to Stop Pulling on the Lead, Easy to Use, Padded Nose Band, Adjustable & Reflective, Professional Anti-Pull Training Aid for Medium Dogs

Product Information

Available in five different sizes, you can purchase the size to match your Yorkie just as well as your St Bernard. Your dog’s lead attaches to the collar part of the Halti, and when you provide feedback in the form of pressure on the lead, this pressure passes to the muzzle of the Halti as well as the dog’s neck, producing a firmer form of direction than using a collar or harness alone. Many dogs also struggle with the pressure of the leash initially, so be prepared to take baby steps as you walk with the head halter at first. She owns her own dog training business, Journey Dog Training and holds a degree in biology from Colorado College.

Although the Halti brand offers a number of different harnesses, we will be focussing on their head harness in this guide. Always treat your dog to a reward when you see your dog not pulling on the lead as this will encourage nice walking.The Halti brand claims that their head collar is designed to allow your dog to pant and yawn if it needs to. Available in four bright colours and made with premium grade fabrics and 3M™ reflective stitching, the Halti range has everything a dog and owner need for happy walks. 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.

If your dog is trying to take the headcollar off, try to distract them with a treat or their favourite toy to prevent this behaviour. They can be particularly useful for controlling and managing very large or strong dogs, or those that are apt to be unresponsive. If you are really struggling to manage with a puppy pulling on the lead we would recommend speaking with a vet recommended dog trainer or behaviourist to get some advice on how best to train your young dog not to pull.For running we recommend using a Halti Walking Harness as it provides complete freedom of movement for the dog.

Head collars and harnesses like the Halti are usually designed to put the most pressure on the back of the dog’s neck, away from the front of their neck and their nose.There is often a way to fit them to a collar or harness for extra security, and there will be a size available for your dog breed and shape.
