Halti Optifit Headcollar - Stop Your Dog Pulling on the Leash. Adjustable, Reflective and Lightweight, with Padded Nose Band. Dog Training Anti-Pull Collar for Small Dogs (Size Small)

We have a Small Munsterlander, similar to a German Shorthaired Pointer. He is very smart, very energetic, and is hard to contain on a short leash. We have done lots of hunting dog training with him, he works really well in the field, but is challenged by having to stay so close to us on a leash. We have previously tried traditional leashes, slip leashes, a shoulder harness, and a "figure 8" leash. None of them worked, and yet we know our dog is trainable. I knew that we needed a leash that would put some pressure on his face as a deterrent, but I didn't want to hurt him, and didn't want to sue a choke chain. The Halti changed the way our dog walked in ONE DAY! I took some time to fit him correctly in it, it slips over his snout, and then clasps high on his head behind his ears. It is adjusted under his chin to ensure that it is secure, but NOT tight or uncomfortable. I gave him a treat at this point. He can eat, drink, and act completely normally while he wears it. When it is time to walk him, a traditional leash clips onto a hook under his chin, not around his neck. Immediately, when the dog started pulling forward, the leash forced his head to turn, because it is clipped directly under his chin. It isn't painful for him, and it doesn't create any pressure, it just makes his head turn left. He immediately felt this was annoying enough not to repeat. Again, it is not PAIN that is making him stop, it's annoyance. There is no benefit to tugging harder rather than lighter. Now that he is used to the leash, he does sometimes forget his composure and start to pull forward again, sometimes walking with tension in the leash (but not nearly as much tension as every other leash we tried, where my hands would be raw after a walk!). I don't want him to get used to this, so I give a quick flick/tug on the leash so that his head turns, and he remembers how much he hates doing that. On particularly bad instances, for example seeing a squirrel, when he lunges forward, the leash turns his head so fast that he ends up turning around. Again, this is really annoying for him, so he doesn't want to repeat that behavior. Altogether, he now gets MORE walks, MORE treats, and spends less time panting from pulling so hard. I strongly feel there is NO PAIN for either of us when we walk with the Halti. THANK YOU HALTI!

We have a 120lb 4yo purebred German Shepherd male. He is by no means overweight and is much larger than most in his breed. Our problem with walking him is that he loves to chase birds and squirrels. A head collar gives us more control and diverts his attention back to walking when he gets excited and wants to chase something during a walk. I know the Halti is supposed to be a temporary learning tool, but our dog will need a head collar forever because he is so much easier to control this way than trying to keep him from chasing something with just his collar. We have been using a Gentle Leader with him for a long time and it has seemed to work great. My fiancé loves the simplicity of it and control it gives us with our easily excitable dog. I recently became aware of the Halti head collar and wanted to try it out vs. our Gentle Leader. We opted for the large Halti due to his size (by breed Halti recommends a medium). Gentle Leader Cons: thin straps with no padding that leave a mark (not a sore or cut, just a visible mark) on my dogs snout- doesn't seem to hurt him, but worries me. He can occasionally slip the nose piece off by rubbing his head on the ground (same with Halti). The snout strap comes really close to his eyes when he pulls in the oppsite direction of me (I would say more so than the Halti). Gentle Leader Pros: more control. Comes in many colors. Our dog cannot move the clip that adjusts the snout piece. Halti Cons: our dog can move the clip that goes under his chin to adjust the snout piece by opening his mouth really wide. Although I think this is just due to the face that for him to comfortably pant and drink it needs to be all the way down anyways, I still think this is something Halti needs to fix. This clip needs to be stronger. He also rubs his head on the ground and can get the snout piece off (same with a Gentle Leader too though). Halti Pros: by far outweigh the cons and the features of the Gentle Leader to me. Being 5'1" and not outweighing my dog by much the additional strap around the neck and backup clip that attaches to the collar gives me more control and reassurance. It has a much wider and cushioned strap on the snout that I feel is probably more comfortable for my dog- it does not leave a mark like the Gentle Leader. I also like the sliding pieces the connect the snout strap to the head strap. They also add support and control and help keep the snout strap away from his eyes (the strap still goes close to his eyes if he's being crazy and wants to chase something, but for regular walking works great- Gentle Leader does the same thing). While I think my fiancé would prefer the gentle leader, being smaller and more simple, he also is bigger and stronger than I am to be able to control our dog. For me, I think the Halti provides more control and requires less effort for me to feel confident and in control if our dog decides to try to chase something while walking. This is the longest product review I've ever written, but with a large breed dog with lots of energy it is hard to find good products and good reviews to help me make decisions on the best products for my dog. So I hope this helps someone else!

Cumple con su función perfecto!! A mis peritos les costó un poco de trabajo acostumbrarse al halty pero desde la primera vez que lo usaron vi una gran diferencia!! No más Jalones, caminan junto a mi sin querer salir corriendo, no les lastima nada y los puedo controlar con solo un pequeño gesto de la correa. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR ESTE EXCELENTE PRODUCTO!! Quiero hacer notar que no es para dejarlo permanentemente puesto en el pero, se usa para sacarlos a pasear, y trabaja junto con el collar. Luego se quita al terminar el paseo, y si esta bien colocado el Perro no puede morderlo no romperlo. Leer las instrucciones te da una buena idea de cómo colocarlo y cómo se usa. También revisar bien las tallas, compré la pequeña para mi corgi y la mediana para mi pero grande, y les quedan perfecto!!

Ik kreeg meer controle over mijn hond, maar na 3 weken is hij al kapot gegaan. Mijn hond bleef trekken, ondanks dit hoofdtuig, het bandje dan onder zijn ogen en onder zijn kin hoorde, kwam in zijn bek terecht, toen heeft hij die door kunnen bijten.

Muito fácil de usar. Gostei bastante

ürünü yerden yemek yiyen 14 kilo olan orta ırk köpeğim için aldım, yürüyüşlerimizde sürekli kafası yerde iz sürüyordu ve yerden kemik ve ot yiyordu, yaklaşık 1 yıl bu ürünü kullandım, yerden yemek yemesinde %80 iz sürmesinde %50 başarılı sonuç aldım, ürünün burun kısmında sünger olması köpeğimin rahat nefes almasını sağladı, ürünü köpeğime taktığımda köpeğimde stres yaratmadı, yürüyüşümüzde durma, gitmeme, yere yatma, ürünü patisi ile çıkarma problemleri olmadı, başarılı bir ürün, üründen memnun kaldım, ürünü taktıktan sonra köpeğimi hemen dışarı çıkarıp kullandıktan sonra köpeğimden hemen çıkardığım için ürünü parçalama gibi bir durum yaşamadım

Perfekt till min Cavalier. Sitter jättebra.
