It's way too big! And somehow I got a lead and halti instead of two halti head things i chose two different sizes but one was a lead instead:( the description said would suite certain breeds but I suppose all dogs have different head sizes. Lots of room to make it smaller but on smallest setting it's still massive and goes up over the eyes. I'd say this would fit a Rottie not a spaniel anyway. And so much room you should probaby measure first like I didn't. Also return is more than the product cost in the first place so no point returning will just have to order another two haltis and try to sell these myself.Ok update, now that the dog has stopped trying to turn her head sideways in it due to some great chicken liver pate,

I like everything. Easy to use. Changed my life. Genius invention. I was just about to give my dog to new home as I am heavily pregnant and she is a very powerful puppy (1 year old) who needs constant training and supervision due to her size and her power. As they are a very strongly prey driven breed, no amount of training at her age could stop the bolt and transfix mode she will go into if she sees what is deemed to her as prey. This device inhibits the behaviour because as soon as it goes on, her psychology changes, she knows she can not bolt because it disables all her power and concentrates the pulling weight onto the bridge of her nose, therefore pulling her nose if she pulls.

This product arrived within the time frame specified in the delivery details. It arrived in the typical Amazon cardboard envelope style packaging as it is a slim product. This style of packaging is ideal as it is very easy to open and doesn't require scissors. The product and packaging arrived in excellent condition. With regards to the packaging of the product itself, it is encased in a clear plastic casing, which surprisingly is VERY easy to open. It does not use the old style plastic packaging which is a nightmare to get into but instead, an easy open box style packaging whereby the front simply pops open and is easily revealed and reused. As a whole the packaging is aesthetically pleasing,

I've tried a head harness where the leash clips to the back of the head and a loop goes around the muzzle, under the suggestion of a professional dog trainer. However, it led to my dog hating walks and being even more anxious outside. I was hesitant to use another head harness but saw how big the results were in another dog, so I decided to try it out.Overall, this version of the halti is great for directing attention away from distractions or reminding my dog that I'm there so she doesn't freak out. She's highly anxious and will scramble at the sight/sound of cars, rustling bags, etc. With the halti, it helps remind of her of my presence without irritating or disturbing her walk.

UPDATE 10/2015: The connecting clasp prong broke and I'm not sure how since it happened when we were not using it. That is a disappointment. I will need to get another one.(original review:)My dog trainer recommended this for my very aggressive dog that doesn't respond well to chain chokers even with command practice. I've been using this for just over a month and my dog is so much more behaved after 5 years of working with a trainer on my rescue dog. It has more to do with my anxiety level being dropped because she uses much less torque in her pull and the natural effect of a excited pull gently closes her jaw. I tied the muzzle just slightly tighter to make it more secure on her and keep the lead latch from bumping into her "elbows".

We bought this after getting a recommendation from our neighbour who trained their dog with one. We were at our wits end with our 11 month Newfoundland as he was most insistent that walkies meant 'go-go-go!', dragging us, occasionally lifting us off our feet, and pulling our shoulders so that they felt as if they were leaving their sockets. I admit we were a bit skeptical, but it really works. he didn't like us putting it on the first few times, but following the training instructions and rewarding him for sitting like a good boy so that it could be easily fitted worked wonders, as did giving him treats when he stopped trying to paw it off during walks. After only a week,

After trying different collars , harnesses and trying to train to heal .... when I had good intentions of walking my petite 10 month old border collie pup who is around 15kg for lovely walks , he made walking to the field an absolute nightmare ... I was embarrassed at him dragging me down the street , and frustrated and trying to keep a close lead that my hands would be throbbing not a pleasure at all .....so I used to drive to the field and let him straight off the lead, off the lead he is fantastic on the lead he is a devil!Wearing a collar he would be choking himself but still wouldn’t stop the pulling , wearing a harness turned him into a steam train giving him power to drag me.I’ve researched and looked at all my options ,

Why did we not use one of these from the start? Our first dog was always good to walk to heel on or off lead, but our second a lab flat-coat cross, has a highly developed tracking instinct in her genes. She will walk to heel off lead, but when we have to use the lead she pulls, to the extent that I have sustained minor tendon damage. We were wondering if we had made a mistake buying her, I had to do something before the damage to my wrists became more of an issue due to the daily injuries. Dog walks had gone from pleasurable experiences to something we dreaded and painful when a lead was involved.We followed the enclosed instruction and fed her treats through the Halti,

I teamed this with Ancol Air Hold Padded Collar and what a result!Whilst the padded lead saves you from those painful pull marks on you're had/ wrist. The Halti just cures everything else! I used to dread walking my big Labrador boy. (He's massive and strong and I'm a fairly petite woman) Now I cant wait to walk him, its so easy. I'm not sure how it works, Maybe a combination of "head steering" and having a firmer grip of him but he barely pulls now. And if he does give you a little tug, Its so manageable! Like walking a toy poodle and not my complete bear of a Labrador.This is ultimate for lead training. My boy excelled ain everything else. He's such a good boy, Toilet training took him half and hour,

I have a 2 year old husky, and I've tried everything I could to have him stop pulling like I'm a sled. I couldn't take him anywhere, yet alone anywhere mildly busy, without me losing my arm. Walking my beloved dog has become one of the biggest stressors of my life, and that in return made me feel like a bad person and that I have failed him and me. This collar was my last hope before getting a dog trainer. And the change is INCREDIBLE. You wouldn't believe it if you see it!! I walked him through a shopping street, TWO dog parks, around my town, anywhere my feet took me. And I come back home with a tired and satisfied pup, because I'm not stressed, he's not stressed,

This is amazing.My dog is very fearful of being outside, she's a rescue and while I'm not clear on her history, I doubt it was a good one. Anytime I took her outside she would freak out, pull on the leash, pull me, try to slip out of her collar, try running into traffic; you name it, she's done it.I've tried so many things; multiple training collars, harnesses, calming chews, treats, etc. Nothing worked and eventually I found a website that recommended the Halti head collar. I bought it, I feared it wouldn't work as I've tried other training collars like this, but I thought I'd give it a chance and I am so glad I did.I spent about a week getting her used to wearing it around the house before venturing outside for what I thought would be another stressful walk.

I have a 9 month old Labrador who pulls like a train and had taken all the pleasure out of going for a walk. She took me for a walk, not the other way round. I have had my shoulder wrenched out of its socket, my little finger broken and basically had come to dread taking her out, then my neighbour mentioned the Halti. I'd never heard of it up until that point but thought it was worth trying.I researched a number of anti-pulling devices, leads/halters etc, and decided that the Halti did look to be the best option. When I first pit it on my dog, she didn't like it and kept trying to pull it off. However once I got her outside and she realised we were going for a walk she forgot about it and concentrated on the walk instead.

I love the Halti! I have a super energetic German Shepard mix I adopted from a shelter and she is pure muscle and pulls like a freight train. I tried everything, from numerous different no pull halters, dog backpacks, martingale collars, a collar made by a famous dog whisperer, etc., and this is the one thing that works best for me. It has made the biggest difference of any product and I am now a loyal customer! No, the Halti won't last forever, but what do you expect?! I walk my dog for at least an hour everyday and after three years, I'm on my 4th or 5th Halti at this point. They will eventually wear out (they're not made of steel, they're fabric), but at the price you pay and the difference you'll experience when walking,

My dog isn't too bad when it comes to pulling, however, getting him to stay by my side seems beyond him (He just wants to be 2 ft in front). I just needed that little extra. His main problems are people on bikes and other dogs. A 1 year old German Shepherd on one side and a 2 1/2 on the other. The older on is calm, however, young max is beginning to become a handfull and it's having an effect on Zeus, who is calm as you like.I researched some aids and decided on this Halti Head collar. I introduced him to it slowly, using treats, and patience. He was soon wearing it no problem. I then took them out. There was about a 10 minute period when he was trying to get it off, but that soon passed.Fantastic piece of kit.

I always use a halti-like attachment when I lead-walk my German Shepherd as he is still quite young and very strong and impulsive if he either sees another dog or even a cat. He is stronger than I am and I can't hold him otherwise without looking like a cartoon dog-owner as I cling desperately to the nearest lamppost.I have tried different brands and also like the Beophar gentle leader but I have recently bought another Halti and it seems to fit and stay in place best. I chose the red one so that it looks more playful than the black one as people sometimes see a black one and assume the dog must be vicious as "he is wearing a muzzle"!!!! The size 3 needed no adjusting when it arrived - set exactly for him.
