Purchasing The Ideal Sort Of Lead Or Headcollar For Your Dog

By Andre Goff


You might be interested to note that a halti lead takes the shape of the head when placed on your dog. It has two rings that are located under the chin, and it is adjustable. To adjust the collars, one simply uses a slide for this purpose. When the buckle is secured, the collars should fit accurately on the neck.

The best guide that a dog owner can use is two-finger slackness. When you fit one of the collars on your doggy, the nose band will sit naturally, and it should fit on the nose and away from the eyes. When the pressure on the chin strap is released, it should allow the mutt to be able to open the mouth without any restriction.

These halti collars have several sections and they include the nose band, a cheek piece, the lead, a lead ring, a slip ring and the collars themselves. Until the dogs can get used to having these collars strapped on them, there is the possibility of them pulling the section of these collars over their heads.

To remove this possibility, a dog owner is advised to tighten the harness such that you are only able to fit two fingers or three fingers under these collars. Linking the sections of the collars to a conventional harness is advisable, and a safety strap is something that is recommended for a dog owner to use.

The alternative precaution is to use a training lead that is double ended, and attach one of its clips to the lead ring, and another end to regular collars. There is a number of ways that you can troubleshoot in order to make the harness fun for the dogs.

Before attaching a harness to your dog, you will need to hold it in front of him so that he can tell that it is nothing that he needs to be scared of. One can hold a treat for the mutt and have your hand through the body of the harness, and when your mutt takes the treat, gently slip the harness over his head.

Once you have succeeded in placing one of these collars on the nose of your dog, allow him to wear one of them for a few minutes. You will need to distract your cur by playing with him or giving him treats.

After distracting the animal in this manner, attach one lead to this harness, and to ensure your dog does not attempt to remove it using his paws, you can hold a tasty treat in the air so that your dog will be forced to lift his head up. One needs to exercise patience while training a dog to wear one of the collars.

The effort to teach a dog to wear the collars is worthwhile because it is comfortable for him to wear one of them, and also for you to use. Do not punish him because he pulls at the lead, but make it an unsuccessful thing to do by using a Halti collar.
