Halti Optifit Headcollar for Dogs | Size Medium

Bought it for my dog to prevent him to pulling. He is a strong dog and gets overexcited around the beach. (Who can blame him...) works well, I can control him way more easily and we can cross the road safely

Bought this at the beginning of October and it was an absolute game changer. My previously very stressful walks with my 34kg 1 year old doodle totally changed. The pulling stopped and it even reduced his reactivity to other dogs. I was SO HAPPY!! BUT my husband took him last night and when he returned I noticed the band wasn't over his nose and it has broken/snapped underneath! I couldn't believe it - it's not from pulling as that had been cured by the harness. I'm desperate to replace it but wonder if I should go for another brand? Sureit should last more than 2 weeks?

My puppy Lab Rtriever is growing up fast and has now become strong on the lead!I decided to research online information of dog head collars. Some opinions stated that these collars are cruel and dismiss them, whilst many more consider them a valuable contribution to improving the control and reduced hard pulling when on the lead.Further, I talked to fellow dog walkers, and they all agreed that the dog head collar is well worth having. So armed this this information I looked online to choose one.Eventually I decided on the Halti Optifit Headcollar. The additional feature of an adjustable head strap seemed the best choice for me as size measurements taken from a supplier may sometimes be questionable.Delivery took 2 weeks due to being out of stock but that’s hardly Amazon’s fault.The head collar is fairly light with strong flat material. Some reviews have commentated that it looks flimsy and has easily been chewed through by even small dogs and puppies.I feel this statement is a tad unfair as it clearly states on the instruction not to leave your dog unattended with the headcollar on to avoid damage by chewing! (see attached image).Imo, the Halti dog collar is well made, and the flat tape design is deliberate so that it fits the dog’s nose more closely with less hindrance to the dog’s line of sight. The adjustable locking padded nose strap offers better fitting around the nose with two fingers slack for mouth movement then locked in position Imo, this lighter and slimmer headcollar makes for a more comfortable fit for your dog.There are many different makes of head collars on the market at present and all have their virtues and faults depending on your point of view.For me, this type offers what I'm looking for and only time will tell if lives up to my expectations. I already have a Halti 2-clip training lead - so every bit helps!

I wasn't very happy with this item. One of straps very quickly yore even though I had correctly used it and very closely supervised my dog with it. I decided to check the same brand out at Pets at Home and purchased another of that brand which was a much better quality than the one I purchased through Amazon. This left me wondering if the one via Amazon was a copy!

I have an 8 year old Labrador who continually pulled and he is incredibly strong. No matter how much i have tried i just could not get him to stop. I bought a good quality figure-of-eight lead, which was very good but it was too short and didnt provide enough distance for my dog to sniff around. I came across the Halti that i could use with my extendable lead. After getting it set-up (very important to do it right), the difference was incredible. No more crazy pulling and i could give my dog a bit more controllable distance and allow him more freedom. Initially he didnt like it very much, very understandable, but after a couple of days he was unfazed and no problems. For me this has been a game changer. I now enjoy my walks much more and im sure he does too. Without any doubt i would replace this if required.

If I could give - stars I would. The product simply isn't fit for purpose. The material is incredibly weak and flimsy. The plastic as as cheap and brittle you could find and the rings wouldnt be fit for a key ring let alone a labrador. I had to to triple check I had bought a legit halti product. This is something you would find in a Christmas cracker and still be disappointed. The marketing and box say it can be used on labradors. Alsations big dogs the like. Again I had to double check I hadn't bought a child's toy or something to restrain a dead chihuahua. If I could get a refund for the time wasted watching halti propaganda and reading the box, (which is border line lies) I would.Didn't even get round the block before he ripped it and chewed it apart. If you have anything vaguely resemble a dog don't buy this God awful product.

If you have a dog that pulls on a walk this is a great product and it really works. I read the reviews and thought it couldn't work so quickly. It does. I was losing the will to live with lovely collie who was choking herself on walks and nearly pulling me over - I had to wrap the lead around my hands and even my body at times to stop her. I tried everything. Stopping, walking backwards, praising her, treats...nothing worked. From the moment she had this on she was a different dog. I can literally hold the lead with two fingers. She is not even trying to pull. She huffs and puffs a bit at times but a week in she is walking lovely and our walks are enjoyable again for both of us. Bought with the halti lead which is great too. A def gamechanger.

Delivered next day with no issues and had to try it out as soon as possible.My girl would occasionally lunge sometimes out the blue or to pull towards a bird, squirrel or cat. She would be walking nice one minute then see something on other side of the road and pull/lunge into the road which could potentially be quite dangerous not to mention me not enjoying being dragged about so decided to give this a try (did try training to heel with treats etc prior) Ordered size small as she's got a small head as you can see from the photos and it fitted her perfectly.She did try getting it off at 1st and would try throughout her walk. Sometimes she got her leg stuck through a hoop and at one point managed to get some other part of it over her nose so had to keep stopping to readjust hence why I took a star off but hoping with time she will accept it and these issues will resolve.All in all though she didn't pull once. Sometimes she pulled a little but no where near as strong as it used to be without this. Was like walking a different dog and made it much more enjoyable and manageable.I know she wasn't too happy with the nose band but I think it is much better for her to be safer on her walks and suffer a little discomfort compared to the damage on her neck pulling with her normal collar will eventually cause and god forbid if she did lunge into the road when a car was coming.. I am sure that would cause an awful lot more discomfort so in my eyes I think its justifiable to use it (plus my hands and wrist are better for it as well)

These Halti Headcollars actually really DO help prevent pulling, but the dogs really fight wearing them at first. We have a 9 month old lab who can already easily pull either of us over, or pull the leash right out of our hands, if she decides to take off. We cannot walk her without one of these collars. However, this is the 3rd headcollar we’ve had to try in an effort to get the right features. We originally purchased a different Halti Headcollar at the pet store that was designed so that the loop around the snout would release when the dog wasn’t pulling. Molly was quick to capitalize on that feature and hook her paw into the slack to pull the thing right into her mouth. After catching her in several successful attempts to chew through it, she finally caught me distracted and ruined it in a matter of minutes. So our daughter gave us an extra headcollar she had in another brand that was really very no frills. It was snug in the snout all the time, with no padding, so harder for her to get off - but after a walk she’d have a dent across her nose 😩 She hated it more than the first one and was constantly trying to get it off. Walks are no fun when the dog repeatedly throws herself to the ground to try to pry the thing off. This (3rd) new Halti Headcollar is the best of both worlds - it features a padded snout loop that is adjustable to fit snugly, but it does not have the release feature for when the dog stops pulling. It stays snug all the time. It also has the safety feature the first one had of a separate hook that clips to the collar so that if the dog escapes the head collar, the leash is still attached to her normal collar. Molly doesn’t seem to mind this one as much - I’m sure it’s more comfortable - so walks are much more enjoyable for all of us! Highly recommend Halti - and especially this particular model.

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!!

Works exactly as iit should and fits perfectlyNow a few months in and showing no signs of wear. Great quality product

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.

You need to train your dog to feel comfortable wearing this, before you can actually start to train your dog with it. I love how it has adjustable nose and head bands, so you can ensure a secure and confidante fit for your dog!It allows your dog to eat and drink while wearing it (though you can't really feed big items), so you don't need to worry about having to take it off or your dog going without, should they need to wear it for a long time.
