Top Tips for STOPPING PULLING
|
 The world of dog training and walking was completely revolutionised by Dr Roger Mugford's invention of the HALTI headcollar. Prior to that, there was no alternative to the dangerous choke chain and the even worse spike collar. The principals of head control were borrowed from the world of horses and adapted to fit dogs. Simply put, if you guide the head the body must surely follow! There are now many designs of headcollar on the market, but HALTI still remains the world's best-selling and favourite headcollar because of the comfort features which are incorporated into its ergonomic design. HALTI does not have metal rings or clips to press against soft tissues of the head and throat, unlike other designs. HALTI is designed to be worn slack or loose around a dog's muzzle, not to 'keep it shut' under constant tension. Its padded noseband lies well down from the dog's eyes and importantly, it places no pressure on the dog's throat.
Top Tips for introducing the HALTI
Show him the HALTI and allow him to sniff it, so he knows there is nothing to be scared of.
Feed titbits to your dog whilst fitting the HALTI.
Allow your dog to wear the HALTI for a few minutes distracting him with treats and play.
Attach a double ended lead, one end to the HALTI¨ and one to his normal collar so you can transfer the pressure gradually to the HALTI, rewarding as you do so.
