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

I have the Gentle Leader and it works wonders, but I have ALWAYS wished there was a way to connect it to my dog’s regular collar. Your article states that the GL comes with such a feature, but the one in the picture looks just like mine. What am I missing? The only place I have to clip anything onto the GL is the ring to clip the leash onto that hangs under my dog’s chin.

Wearing a Halti can take some getting used to by your dog, and some dogs simply do not take well to the additional feeling of restriction it provides. What is a Halti? Halti is a brand that sells a number of head and body harnesses designed to prevent pulling in dogs. Their most popular and common product is a head harness that has almost become synonymous with the brand name. Some dog owners report that their dog stops pulling when wearing the Halti head harness. However, these dogs won’t stop pulling when wearing a normal leash. The Halti is a recently modern addition to the standard pieces of canine kit such as the collar, lead and harness, and while it can be very useful for certain dogs and provides several advantages over other restraint methods, it is also still very widely misunderstood. The chances are that if you are not sure what a Halti is, you have nevertheless spotted a dog out on a walk wearing one, but you may have mistaken it for a muzzle, or simply not realised what it is or how it works. 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.

How are Haltis Different to Muzzles?

The remote range is 300m and can pass through walls or trees. Waterproof in light rain or wet grass but not suitable for swimming. I do think, whether it's my own state of mind or not, that the HALTI No-Pull Harness did probably help ease pulling a little in certain overexcited moments, but I couldn't say for sure. This is an aversive tool that can cause distrust, and will not be as effective as positive training methods.

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! The favoured training head collar of the UK Association of Guide Dogs for the Blind and used by trainers, training schools, rescue shelters, veterinarians and dog owners alike. This is because it uses a revolutionary ‘behind the head’ design, as opposed to a regular head collar where the lead often attaches to the side instead.

Which Halti should I buy?

KIND and HUMANE - the lightweight design allows for full range of movement and the padded chest and leg straps keep your dog comfortable during walks The Halti Headcollar is a humane training tool that provides maximum control for even the strongest pullers.

Beaphar claims the effect is instant; it works in minutes not weeks. It should be used on all walks as part of a training regime. Endorsed by behaviourists. About: The Snoot Loop is the most different of the three dog head halters that I recommend. While the Halti and the Gentle Leader have almost the exact same design, the Snoot Loop is a bit more unique. It has reflective accents for improved visibility in low light and a safety link that attaches to your dog’s collar for complete peace of mind. One important note to make is that dog head halters do not teach dogs not to pull on leash. All they do is reduce your dog’s pulling power. Whether you love to take your dog on a healthy morning run, a countryside stroll or a play in the local park, our versatile collars, harnesses and tailored lead options have you covered. Designed in partnership with our dog behaviour experts, Halti walking accessories combine innovative features with comfort, flexibility and safety. 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.The Halti No Pull harness works on the premise of 'squeezing and lifting' according to the team behind the product who say, "the harness tightens on the dog when they pull on the lead. There are lots of excellent dog head halters out there, but keep in mind a few factors when shopping. This is because the Halti doesn’t train your dog to heel. It just gives your dog an unpleasant consequence when he tries to pull.
