Five Reasons To Get A Headcollar For Your Pet

By Jorge Ronnie Hensley


If your dog walks you rather than you walking your dog, this may just be one of the five reasons to get Halti headcollars. It is a new type of device that is kind on the animal but gives the walker control over the dog's movement and behavior. It does not matter if your dog is big or small; there is a size to fit them all.

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.

It works on the same principle as a horse halter with a noseband, cheek pieces and a strap that fits around the head behind the ears. There is an additional function with a slip ring to provide more restraint when necessary. It also has a safety strap that links to the dog's normal collar for added security. With most animals if you control the direction they are looking 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.

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.
