How to Stay in Charge of Your Dog: Halti Dog Collars

My dog was completely out of control and not unlike others I saw being taken for a walk by their pooch. Does this ring any kind of bell for you? Is your dog allowing you to walk with him/her? Do you dread the walk an look forward to it being over and done with? If the answer is even close to yes, then a Halti collar might be your answer.

Halti dog training collars have been invented for those dog owners who are not as strong as their dog physically or mentally, and those petite owners who are lucky enough to weigh less than their canine companion.

Haltis are desighed so that the dog can have their pointing straight ahead and they al;so come in a number of varying sizes (thank goodness). When you gently pull on the leash, the halti collar brings the dog's head around in the direction you are steering, ensuring that the rest of Fido's body follows in the same direction.

Halti head collars can be used successfully on dogs of any age. Obviously most puppies will accept them faster than an older dog who is used to getting his own way. Eventually, Spot will be just as well behaved as most of the other puppies and dogs in your area if not better behaved.

Halti collars can also be ideal for the dog owner who has painful joints or does not like the thought of hurting their dog when embarking on leash training.

Halti head collars are not designed to leave on your dog on a permanent basis. When the walk or training session is over, it is vital that the collar be removed. Otherwise there is a small but real risk of your dog tangling up his collar with household objects resulting in serious injuries (even strangulations).

Halti collars are not supposed to be used with a yanking motion. A gentle pull in the desired direction is all that is needed to have Fido sticking to the chosen path. Halti head collars are also not designed for allowing Fido to run extremely fast to the end of the leash. Whiplash injuries can occur with this type of occurrence and will have your pooch bouncing back at you like a dog possessed.

All in all, halti head collars are ideal for the out of control dog, or the owner who is overwhelmed physically or mentally. If your dog is a large breed, you will be pleased to hear that the control of your dog is much greater with a Halti. With a Halti, wrenched shoulders and suffocating canines will be all over.
