The Company of Animals - HALTI Opti Fit Head Collar - Adjustable and Padded Gentle Leader - No Pull, No Pain - Includes Training DVD and Guide - Medium

Opted for M size basis listing details but it’s very tight for my GSD. Pulling stopped but I have to stop using as its very tight on my GSD and the the lock mechanism for snug fit doesn’t work. Waste of money

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.

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!

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

Seppur dubbiosa ho acquistato il prodotto su consiglio della mia educatrice. Il mio boxer di due anni è paragonabile ad un treno alta velocità. Il primo incontro con la Cavezza non gli è piaciuto particolarmente ed ha provato a togliersela durante l'intera passeggiata, quindi non ha tirato :) Già la seguente passeggiata è andata meglio. Tira circa 85% in meno rispetto al suo solito. E' gestibile quando incontra altri cani cosa che era difficoltosa prima della cavezza. Non sembra n' sofferente fisicamente nè "strizzato" ma solo un pò sbilanciato.Per il momento molto contenta del prodotto. PEr un boxer di 2 anni e 27 kg ho preso una taglia M che è da regolare ma sufficente e non costrittiva.

Nous avons un gros beauceron très têtu qui tire énormément et qui est très réactif depuis la mort de notre autre chien - je ne pouvais même plus le sortir tant il était ingérable, c’est mon mari qui s’occupait des sorties car sinon c’était trop dangereux. J’ai essayé plein de méthodes d’éducation qui n’ont rien donné ou alors qui n’ont pas duré. Ne souhaitant pas avoir recours à des techniques dures, j’ai décidé d’acheter ce licol. Et en 10 minutes c’était réglé ! Ma banane avec des friandises, le licol sécurisé avec le collier et une laisse double mousquetons ont TOUT changé chez notre chien ! Aucun besoin d’utiliser la force, ses mouvements sont suffisants et on obtient une marche au pied parfaite, avec un chien concentré et à l’écoute. Au pied, stop, go… tout fonctionne. Il peut ouvrir la gueule correctement, renifler quand on relâche de la laisse, boire, bouger sa tête… et il se sent en sécurité et n’est plus vraiment réactif aux stimulations habituelles car ce n’est plus lui qui mène la danse ! C’est un sans faute !
