The Halti Head Collar

Dog Collar with Built-in Control

The Halti Headcollar helps put you back in control of your pet. Calms boisterous animals and simplifies training. Works on the principle that where a dog's head goes, his body will follow. By gently guiding a dog's head in the direction you want him to go, the dog's body will follow.

Additionally, this collar gives the owner more control using less strength than traditional buckle collars, harnesses, or prong collars. The leverage provided by its design allows for gentle guidance of the dog's attention. Based on training secrets gained from horse trainers.

Product Benefits

• Control. A dog wearing a Halti Head Collar is typically much easier to control. As noted, controlling the dog's head allows you to direct - and change - his attention so that he focuses on what you want him to.
• Self-correcting. The Halti Head Collar does the work for you. When your dog pulls on the collar, that initiates the gentle pressure and encourages him to move his head back to where it was rather than pulling and straining against the collar. There is no need for leash pops or physical corrections.
• Humane. Many training professionals believe it is the safest and most humane of all collars.

Product Disadvantages

• Adjustment. Head collars can take a long time for a dog to get used to. They are best introduced with treats (or another reward) and gradually employed as the dog's collar. A typical program involves showing the collar and giving a treat, placing the collar on and giving a treat, attaching the leash to the collar and giving a treat, taking the dog out on a walk with the collar and giving a treat. This process can take days, or even weeks, before the dog views the collar positively.
• Muscle Sensitivity. A minority of users report concerns that the dog is not braced for the collar's pressure and that this pressure hits sensitive muscles and other connective tissue, thus risking pain or even injury. Unlike the buckle collar whose resistance they are accustomed to, critics feel that head collars surprise dogs. Dogs that lunge, as opposed to ones that are racing ahead, are most affected. For lunging, weaving dogs, a prong collar is a better alternative.
