Product Information

You still need to train your dog not to pull. The Halti is a useful piece of equipment, but ultimately training is the only long term solution

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. I always remind my clients that you still will have to teach your dog to walk nicely on leash, because in the vast majority of cases the dog will start to pull again as soon as you remove the piece of equipment. This loop over the nose is present in both Haltis and Gentle Leaders. So, there is likely to be no real difference in how your dog will react to them. How do Haltis Compare to Other Types of Aversive Collars? 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.Whilst the fit of the collar itself might not be uncomfortable for your dog when standing still, this pressure when walking is most likely very uncomfortable. The figure 8 dog halter lead combines both lead and collar with an anti-pull system built-in, and is highly effective and proven to transform your walks from difficult to enjoyable. The main reason most people want to learn ‘what is a Halti’ is because they’re suffering with a dog that pulls on the leash. However, the Halti is specifically designed to associate pulling with a negative consequence for your dog. Are Haltis Comfortable for Dogs?

Evidence from studies suggests that positive reinforcement methods are the most effective at training permanent skills. When I have a client whose dog won’t stop pulling on the leash, I suggest a dog head halter or a no-pull harness to help them out while they’re training the dog.
