Who's The Boss? Halti Dog Collars Keep You In Charge

Do you dread walking your dog? Does your dog walk you around the block? Does your dog almost choke himself in his eagerness to sniff the rose bushes? Do you secretly feel out of control? Well perhaps it is time for you to think about a halti head collar for your dog.

Halti dog training collars have been invented for those dog owners who are not as strong as their dog physically or mentally, and those petite owners who are lucky enough to weigh less than their canine companion.

Coming in a variety of sizes, these training collars work on the concept that dogs like to walk with their heads pointing straight ahead. When you gently pull on the leash, the halti collar brings the dog's head around in the direction you are steering, ensuring that the rest of Fido's body follows in the same direction.

Halti head collars can be used successfully on dogs of any age. Obviously most puppies will accept them faster than an older dog who is used to getting his own way. However, patience and a few weeks of training can have Fido just as well behaved as all the other dogs on your block.

Halti collars can also be ideal for the dog owner who has painful joints or does not like the thought of hurting their dog when embarking on leash training.

Halti head collars are not designed to leave on your dog on a permanent basis. When the walk or training session is over, it is vital that the collar be removed. Otherwise there is a small but real risk of your dog tangling up his collar with household objects resulting in serious injuries (even strangulations).

Halti collars are not supposed to be used with a yanking motion. A gentle pull in the desired direction is all that is needed to have Fido sticking to the chosen path. Halti head collars are also not designed for allowing Fido to run extremely fast to the end of the leash. This style of activity will have Fido bouncing back like a furry yo-yo, and could result in spinal whiplash injuries.

All in all, halti head collars are ideal for the out of control dog, or the owner who is overwhelmed physically or mentally. Large and boisterous dogs can be easily controlled with this style of training collar. Dislocated shoulders, and choking dogs will be a thing of the past with a halti dog training collar.
