Five Motivations To Get A Headcollar For Your Dog

There are probably more than five reasons to get a Halti head collar. Not least of which is that it makes walking a dog easy. With these collars you will not be dragged around the streets on the end of the leash. The design gives the walker back control of where and when the walk takes place. It is also kind on your dog no matter whether it is a tiny terrier or a massive mastiff.

Dog training has become very popular over the last few years. But, doing it yourself takes a lot of time and getting someone else to do it costs a lot of money. This user friendly equipment can replace much of the basic training designed to put the person in control when walking their pet. And, it does not cost as much as puppy school or corrective training.

Have you seen horses being walked by their handlers? This collar works on the same principle used to control these large animals without hurting them. Instead of only a collar around the neck this device uses a noseband, cheek pieces and a head strap. This allows manipulation of the head and through that the direction of the body without exerting undue pressure.

A slip ring allows the noseband to be tightened to close the mouth but it is not a muzzle. Unless the walker pulls the lead to tighten the noseband the dog has complete freedom. They can eat and drink normally, pant in hot weather and even bark. So the dog has complete freedom until it misbehaves then the owner can take back control.

With a normal restraint an untrained dog can jump and pull and even bite before the owner can do anything about it. In these circumstances walking is usually an exhausting experience and not fun for the owner. It is also no fun for the dog that is constantly being hauled away from things. Using these new types of collars allows the dog to regain its freedom without causing anxiety to the owner.

The product comes in six sizes. The first four categories are basically; toy and miniatures, small spaniels and terriers, standard spaniels and larger working type dogs such as retrievers and shepherds. Then there are two sizes covering the giant breeds; XL and XXL. They are all made from soft nylon so they are soft on the dog’s face and you can buy from pet shops online.

Pets become a part of the family and many people like to take them with them when they go out. But, dogs that are not well behaved are usually not welcome. Having a simple way to restrain and control your dog’s behavior while enjoying the company of others is invaluable. And, being able to do it simply with no special skills is a bonus.

Both you and your dog will have more fun and more freedom when you are in charge. Not having the time or money for training and not wanting to use harsh restraints are just two of the reasons to get a the Halti head collar.
