Product Information

Aversive tools like this associate an action with an unpleasant consequence to stop the action from happening. This product is still the most well known of the Halti products. And, it is the one most people think of when they say 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.

But, they aren’t inherently as cruel as other punishment-based methods people may use to try and stop their dogs from pulling on the leash.If you have a dog that pulls on the lead every time you go for a walk, consider a front-range harness with a leash ring on the chest strap. These are proven to work wonders at getting a dog to heel. If you have an especially powerful lead-puller then invest in a double-lead balance system such as the Mekuti, reviewed in this roundup. How do I measure my dog for a new harness? If your dog needs to be muzzled on walks, for whatever reason, a Halti is not a suitable alternative. Will a Halti Stop my Dog from Pulling? The Halti Lead is made from highly durable, lightweight webbing, which feels very comfortable to hold. The lead is strong and is excellent for everyday use, and is perfect for small to medium-sized dogs. The longest ring will stretch the length to 2 metre allowing that extra space between you and your dog to practice on lead recall training.

This is an aversive tool that can cause distrust, and will not be as effective as positive training methods. We use slip leads, and very rarely would need to nose loop (it generally means the dog has been put in a position where they have become overwhelmed as the circumstances have exceeded the training or the in-laws have taught them to pull but sometimes needs must). Much has changed in 35 years since the founder and world-renowned animal psychologist Dr Roger Mugford created the Company of Animals in 1979. Still, the passion and commitment to training solutions remain as strong as ever. This harness fits supremely well without restricting the dog’s movement in any way. It’s also a doddle to put on and one of the easiest to adjust. Granted, it’s not the cheapest model here, but it’s very well designed and a great option for both energetic dogs and hot sultry summers. 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.Remember, these head collars work by pairing the pulling action with an uncomfortable, unpleasant consequence. The IDC Powerharnesses is available in nine sizes – from Baby 1 (teacup dog) to Size 4 (Newfoundland) – and is available in 25 colours. You can also replace the Velcroed side patch with a customized label of your choice. An excellent everyday option for top wags. The first Halti product was the Halti headcollar, created in 1979 by Dr. Roger Mugford. It was designed to help owners who were struggling with dogs who pulled excessively when on walks or on their leash. Double-leads are more complicated to use but have been proven to provide better balance for an unruly dog and thereby reduce pulling. That said, the chest padding alone most certainly has an affect on how the dog responds when walking – just the tiniest tug of the leash will invariably have it walking to heel.

The heavy-duty plastic clips are seriously large and we wonder if this combination of wide webbing and large clips is the reason the whole harness tends to shift over to one side after a few minutes wear. That said, at no time did the dog – an elderly Labrador – appear to be in discomfort. We suspect the smaller sizes use narrower, thinner and more supple webbing, which should ensure the harness remains in better position. The Halti Training Lead & Double Ended Lead feature 3 rings along the length of the lead, allowing for 3 lengths and uses in one. Leaving a Halti on your dog long-term can be cruel, as it is only designed for short periods. Leaving it on long term can cause fur loss and other injuries. 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.So, the feeling when your dog pulls has to be uncomfortable enough to prevent the action of pulling in the future. Not Designed for Constant Use Straps are attached via a slider, designed to adjust to tension and therefore correct pulling. The harness is lightweight, with soft but durable webbing that sits beneath your dog’s arms and helps to keep them cool during walks. The softness of the harness allows for a full range of movements, too, so your dog shouldn’t feel unnaturally restricted either.
