Product Information

Aversive tools like this associate an action with an unpleasant consequence to stop the action from happening.

This loop over the nose is present in both Haltis and Gentle Leaders. So, there is likely to be no real difference in how your dog will react to them. How do Haltis Compare to Other Types of Aversive Collars? What is a Halti? Halti is a brand that sells a number of head and body harnesses designed to prevent pulling in dogs. Their most popular and common product is a head harness that has almost become synonymous with the brand name. Another handy feature is the traffic handle – a split section of non-stretchy webbing positioned very close to the dog’s harness. It’s imperative that you use this handle when approaching a road or walking on the pavement.If your dog always pulls like a train, consider a double-ended training leash like those supplied by HALTI (see below) and Mekuti. Training leads consist of one extra-long strap with a clasp on either end. They are suitable for use only with front-range harnesses equipped with an attachment on the chest as well as on top. Whilst the fit of the collar itself might not be uncomfortable for your dog when standing still, this pressure when walking is most likely very uncomfortable. But, they aren’t inherently as cruel as other punishment-based methods people may use to try and stop their dogs from pulling on the leash. Teaching your dog to heel is a much better long term solution to pulling, and doesn’t have any nasty consequences for your dog. Frequently Asked Questions About the Halti The great thing about this leash is that there’s at least two feet of stretch in the webbing and that’s extremely useful when running because there’s less chance of the animal pulling you over if it suddenly veers off to chase a rabbit.
