Most people use them for a while until the dog is walking correctly then transfere to a normal lead. here's a link Halti Headcollar to Stop Dogs Pulling and to Calm Boisterous Behaviour
which explains it in more detail. If the choke chain hadn't worked for me I would definetly be buying one of these. |
the halit is basicall the same as a gentle leader, both of these are supposed to be not good for a dobe cos of the long neck ??
i use a choak on zeus and missy and they walk pretty good, i would LOVE to buy a prong to try but you can not get them in england so i would have to send for 2 from the usa , and im sure in the little narrow minded village i live in i would probably be hunted and gunned down for dog cruelty if i put them in a prong ??
