PUPP

Most of the current thinking on pet ownership supports the notion that the human should be in control. But, that can sometimes be hard. Large dogs have strength on their side while small dogs are quick and agile. Five reasons to get a Halti headcollar are related to the problems walkers have when exercising their canine friends.

When you do not have the time to spend training your dog and you cannot afford to pay someone to do it there is an alternative. If you are sick of being pulled along at the end of a lead or trying to stop a fight between dogs breaking out there is a simple solution. It is easy to use and is kind on the dog and the walker.

Brute strength is rarely the answer to solving problems. And, restricting the dog with a muzzle or choke chain is not very pleasant. This collar has been designed on the principle used for horse halters where the handler is outweighed many times over. The noseband, cheek pieces and head strap allow the walker to control the direction of the animal's head. And, where the eyes go the body will follow.

One of the many benefits is that the design will close the mouth when necessary. When the pet is calm and relaxed they can open their mouth, sniff at things, bark, eat, drink and anything else they would normally do. But, if they go to bite or their barking becomes a problem pulling on the lead will tighten the noseband to prevent the problem. It does not hurt the canine at all.

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.

Disciplining a dog to acceptable behavior without resorting to harsh treatment used to require hours of training. The design is one of the five reasons to get a Halti head collar. It allows owners to control their dog's movement and behavior. This results in a pleasant outcome for both the dog and the people around them.
