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 own three dogs. Danny, a Rottweiler cross Dobermann and Chris and Mia, both Rottweilers. For years, I was spoilt by owning and walking just two girls - Mia and Chloe, a Labrador. 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. If you have a puppy pulling on a leash, our Halti Training range can help! We recommend that walking-on-the-lead training is only done for a short period each day, and within the overall scope of your puppy’s recommended daily exercise allowance. It is important to note that lead walk training should only be a part of your puppy’s daily exercise which should also include a wide range of activities to aid mental stimulation and early socialisation. A common guideline for estimating a daily exercise level for your puppy is 5 minutes of exercise per month of age, twice a day. So for example, a 5-month-old puppy could have 2 x 25-minute walks daily. However, you should consult with your vet on the appropriate number of minutes per day as a puppy’s breed and development stage will also play a role in the overall exercise time. As we’ve learnt earlier in this guide to ‘what is a Halti’, this type of head harness has a loop that attaches around your dog’s snout.

Integrating a Halti into your training sessions when the pup has shown a propensity to pull can help with curbing this behaviour before it becomes established, but in younger dogs, a Halti should be viewed as a training tool or aid that has a specific purpose and is intended to aid with training, not avoid it. With the No Pull Harness, 97% of dog owners said they ‘ saw immediate results with their dog not pulling’. Some dogs may still pull against the Halti head harness. And, they will pull as soon as a different type of harness is used. When it comes to starting off on the lead walks with a puppy, they are highly likely to pull-but beginning in the right way and correcting the pulling from the get-go, refusing to proceed until the dog relaxes and walks normally, can avoid making pulling an integral part of on the lead walks in the adult dog.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. Its important to remember that for your dog having a new training aid on their head / face will feel unusual for your dog and it is perfectly normal reaction for them to try and remove it. We encourage you to help your dog acclimatise to the headcollar by using positive associations methods. This can be through using treats to encourage your dog to place their nose into the headcollar and then placing on your dog for a few seconds, then taking the headcollar off and rewarding immediately. Build up slowly to give your dog time to adjust. 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.

PERFECT FIT - the Halti No Pull Harness comes in 3 different sizes and is fully adjustable to fit most dogs.Use our size guide to find your dog's perfect fit For this reason, we would always recommend buying a dedicated headcollar which can be used in the proper way.

What is a Halti – Summary

I set timers for myself to ensure my training sessions don’t go too long. It’s ideal to end the session with both you and your dog wanting more! After about 10 minutes, I gave the instructions to my husband and said 'You work it out'. He didn't really get them either. 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 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. The Halti head harness describes itself as giving the owner full control by gently directing and steering your dog from the front.

So, the best long term solution to prevent pulling is to use positive reinforcement training to teach the heel command. Not only is this more likely to work in the long term, but it will also help you build a much stronger bond with your dog. Are Haltis Cruel? Have you ever used a head halter for your dog?

What does the Halti do?

The lead has multiple metal hoops so you can shorten it but even at its shortest length, basically halved, it's very long. Too long for me and most definitely too long for what I'd consider a short/road length as the instructions say it's suitable for and by having to turn the lead four or five times around my hand, it made it quite slippery. With the No Pull Harness, 97% of dog owners said they ‘saw immediate results with their dog not pulling’. The instructions, show you can clip both ends of the lead into both hoops on the harness. This seems to make it incredibly awkward for my dogs to walk. If the Halti does not stop your dog from pulling, they may experience high levels of discomfort – even if the product is only used on walks. How are Haltis Different to Muzzles? There are eight ways it can be used but I didn't really find I got the benefit of any because of the length and I wouldn't use the tether option in the way described in the current era of increased dog thefts.
