Halti Dog Head Collar For Sale (2024 Update)

After trying other head halter I've found the style of this to be the best so far as it doesn't link the nose band in place, it continuously applies/releases pressure with the movement of the dog. I've had mine for over three years now and still going strong except the padding on the nose band has worn away and frayed. The only thing I really dislike is the adjustment buckle sits directly up behind the base of the dogs ear which can be quite annoying for the dog and cause ear discomfort/head shaking. If the neck strap is loosened away from the ear it becomes too loose. Otherwise it gives great head/body control.Donna

Bought this as my new collie dog was pulling the lead so badly when out walking, I ended up with sore arms and shoulders. I bought this lead and the change in her pulling was immediate. She's now a pleasure to walk. This is a phenomenal product. Well worth the cost. I'd recommend this halter and lead assembly to anyone who's dog pulls on an ordinary dog lead. If your dog pulls you on the lead, then this leads for you. The change from pulling to walking with you is instant.chain_80

I bought an unbranded halti at a dog show but it was far from a good fit especially around the eyes as the strap fit too high around and across the eyes. These had quality from the outset well padded strap around the muzzle and eyes. Quality counts especially when your unable to ask your dog how it feels I highly recommend this product.whiterose13409

I was sceptical as to whether the head harness would work on my large and very strong Salukis. It is very important to get your dog(s) used to putting their noses through it to begin with and becoming familiar with it. First walk with head harnesses fitted to both, and myself nervous as to how they would react. I neednt have worried. Not once did I have to say to them stop pulling. They were like normal well trained dogs, if you can believe that about a Saluki. Ive ordered two more for my other Saluki and Daschund, thats how good they are.oldcharmfreak

Should be made of stronger material. Some of the side bits are so flimsy the dog managed to chew through it whilst wearing it within seconds. I'd just put it on the dog. Made it unusable.This was the second one I had tried of the same product. I bought a small. Very dissapointed as they are not cheap. I've used Halti range for years and they have been brilliant but this particular design not at alljalmos

I honestly didn't believe the "guaranteed" no pulling but the collar actually made a HUGE difference the first time we used it. My pup doesn't love wearing it so when we stand still she'll lie down and try to pull it off, but it doesn't hurt her. It's a much better (and more effective) alternative than a choking collar. My dog is 31lbs (and growing) and our walks used to be quite painful as she's still learning to heel. The collar has made a world of difference: Now that she's used to it she tries to pull a little, but it's very gentle and nowhere near her pulling before. I can control her even in stores – it is such a pleasure to walk with her now!Hanne B

I have a 11 month old Rhodesian ridgeback who pulls like a train.Not any more this head collar really works.Recomend 100% .Walks are no longer stressful.+++julie190177

I had the original Halti and it worked ok but rubbed on my dogs nose quite hard. The new version has a soft leather nose pad which stops it rubbing. The Halti works very well, it stops dogs from pulling instantly. The dogs quickly realise they cant pull without their head being turned. I have a large pedigree Labrador, hes incredibly strong and very excited to go for a walk. I used to have to wrap the lead round my hand several times just to keep hold of him and my hand would be very sore after a walk. As soon as i put the Halti on him he becomes a different dog. I can literally hold the lead with my finger and thumb and bring him to a stop easily If youre sick of having your arm yanked off every time you take the dog out give this a try you wont regret it. It takes the dogs a few days to get used to wearing it and they dont like it at first but my Lab is fine with it now, he sits happily and lets me put it on him. For some reason my wife cant seem to fit it properly, she always fits it wrong and says it doesnt work – it works fine when fitted correctly!brr247

It has stopped my beagle from pulling and walks are a pleasure to go on now. My beagle use to pull like a steam train and even hurt my shoulder. Now she walks nicely with the Halti. Highly recommend to anyone who has a dog that pulls.Debra B

This product is absolutely amazing. I train my grandma's Schnauzer on a regular basis, and though she is smart, she is horrible on walks. She looks like she is swimming, choking and straining against the collar and dragging me everywhere. My grandma and I began to hate walking her, because it was just not enjoyable. Therefore, the dog never got the exercise she needed. I'm an amateur trainer, and I saw head collars being used on TV and decided to find out where I could purchase one. I saw they sold them at Petco, and I bought one. The first walk was horrible, she hated it and wouldn't go two steps without trying to pry it off, but I'm more stubborn than her, and I kept at it. I've just returned form our third walk, and she only balked once at having the collar on, and that was when I'd just put it on. She's doing marvelous, and for once, I'm in control! I would highly recommend this, much more humane and affective than the choke collars and prong collars. This is just like a horse halter, only for dogs. If you control their head, you control their body. Anyone can use this with a little determination. Your dog will not like it at first, but don't get worried, trust me, they learn.SchnauzerTrainer

This product takes time to introduce to a dog, please look online as to how to make this an easier adjustment. the instructions on the company's page are lacking. My 90lb pitbull walks well on this, but she took a lot of work and will still struggle. It will take me a long time to get her to walk in grass without wanting to rub her face or paw this off. You want to invest in some training treats and constantly get their attention to turn them around and treat them. sharp 'uh uh uh' and gently pull the leash up so they cannot drag their faces or paw at themselves. Recommending a quiet atmosphere where you have time to put it on and off their faces, eventually snap it, and short multiple walks to get them interested. they will learn to associate this as what they need to wear to walk eventually and the fighting will slow. The other thing, is i specifically wanted this item for the safety feature that will clip to collar. Nothing worse than a loose dog that just had something on its face it didn't want and its now running loose cause it doesn't want to wear that againJenibear

I am amazed at how well this collar works. My 3-year-old, 70-lb. golden retriever mix is a very sweet, highly energetic girl. For the last 18 months, our walks have not been very much fun for either of us. No technique I have tried has convinced her to stop pulling, and I have tripped over her and fallen down a number of times. I can't say that she likes the Halti much – she tries to rub it off – but she has NEVER pulled against it. Walking her is so easy now; I can keep her on a loose leash and she stays right beside me. For us, the Halti has worked like magic!bizbear

If taking your dog for his/her daily constitutional is a trail, then a Halti may help. Any dog can be both boustious and naughty when spying other dogs on his/her walk. Not to mention, the bane of all dog owners lives, wild life, namely Squirrels, and other domestic pets, such as cats. The Halti allows you to control your dog by using using gentle pressure to better control your dogs head, and to curtail certain behaviours, such as pulling and barking, in a more gentle form of behaviour reinforcement, as a genuine Halti is cruelty free. The one issue I've found with all of the Halti's I've used over the years, is; though the material used is strong and long wearing, it does tend to stretch. Often, I've had to resort to stitching the band which goes around the back of the dogs head to shorten it, as once it stretches, it can slip off. Even though it has a safety strap that clicks onto your dogs coller, it renders the Halti's ability to help control your dogs behaviour null and void. I have, over a series of years never had one snap. Always, it has stretched, once the straps have been tightened as much as is allowed by design, stitching it is the best method I have found. It's important to remember, that like us, dog breeds are highly individual, so measuring your dogs headbefore purchasing this item is extremely important. Don't necessarily go by the manufacturers sizing. Often the same breed of dog, (as happens with many things) are individual, and often bigger or smaller than the standard stats of most breeds. This is my 5th Halti, and my 3rd manufacturer. There is little difference between brands, and it is often that my dog has grown or got older, that I've had to change the Halti before wearing it out. Don't be afraid to search through the many different manufacturers that sell these, as prices vary, however, be aware that buying from unregulated sellers may earn you a cheaper alternative, that isn't a genuine item. It is always safer to purchase a Halti from a reputable seller. Remember depending on the size of your pet, prices will vary. They tend to be numbered, a 1 will often fit a small breed with a 3 fitting a mid sized breed. Often this is translated into centre metres on the back of the packet. As with all products, what works for one dog, may not work for another, only trying it will tell.bevefors

It has not arrived yet but the site is misleading. It suggests you have a choice of many colours but when I wanted size2 I had a choice of red or black only! I looked at all the other sizes and none of them offered all the choices! So I ordered red as I don't want black. It was the cheapest I could find so as long as you don't want much choice worth looking at. I ordered because my halti which is very old finally snapped and I could not take my dog out without it. Presume it will be usual halti quality but will wait and seelindmargeriso0

I bought the collar to match the harness and lead. If the harness had had a ring to attach an ID tag to it serves no real purpose. How much better would it have been to at least have had a ring on the collar to attach the lead too if the harness is not availablePeter

My dog absolutely loves it, before now he would never wear a collar and he hated them, this collar is padded and comfy for him, he even barks when we take it off of him now! Absolutely brilliantlollip6078

So many collars I have looked at are stiff and have harsh edges. I love the Halti training leads, so I decided to give this collar a try and I am glad I did. This is lovely, padded and soft, and very reasonably priced!Vintergren

I purchased a large size based on the dogs snout measurement and it was too big so I ordered a medium and it's still too big and can slip off. My pup is still growing so I'll keep the medium and return the large if I can.PSPete

this would probably work fine on bigger dogs but on my little Papillon it's just torture because the rings don't hold any adjustments for her tiny snout so the front strap just rubs her eyes and makes her baulk. I think for small dogs they could make the snout loop with fixed adjustments so the size would hold and it would then work more like intended but as is it doesn't work without pull on the leash which you don't always havebill

I really like the PetSafe – Gentle Leader® Headcollar, in size Medium. At first I was a little skeptical that this might actually help when we take our 8 month old puppy on walks because all she wants to do constantly is stop, and smell everything. We were using a harness on her, but after trying out the Gentle Leader, it works so much better that my husband and I were amazed. The Leader is very simple, goes on easily, and there is a little loop that goes through a ring that you bring up, and it goes around the very top of your dogs nose. This is to help lease train them better so that with just a little tug, it brings your dogs head up, and in our dogs case, it stops her from smelling every little thing on her walks. It was like night and day! That's how impressed we were. At times she gives us a little snort when we give her a little gentle tug on the leash to keep her head up, but it really seems to be working, and the walks are so much more enjoyable now. Included is a nice, informative brochure with instructions, and how to properly use the product.Caligirl64

This gentle lead took some getting used to and is still a work in progress. This was my first time trying this type of product, I typically go for harnesses. It is well made so I feel secure that it will hold up during many walks and not come loose/give out. There are large picture instructions that are a great help with sizing and how to properly put it on, along with describing how the fit should be so it is comfortable but won’t slip during use. The fit and use instructions are a great help especially for someone who has never used this type of lead before. There are many helpful tips on the other side of the instruction sheet to help get the most positive outcomes from use.Emilyh

I had bought this a week ago in store. I'm so happy with the progress my dog has already made using this. He used to bolt out the gate but now hes always right by my side, checking in on me and making sure I'm keeping up with him. I've finally been able to loose leash walk him without having to worry about him running off. This has help so much in such a short time! I recommend this to one of my neighbors and they say its helped their dog too! My dog is 120 and it still helped, I thought it would completely snap but it's very durable!serena1234

I knew about this product for several weeks, but I delayed in getting it. I thought I'd give the puppy a chance with regular training methods (treats, praise, verbal corrections) before I started futzing with a special collar and have to buy it in two sizes. That was really stupid. I wish I would have bought it sooner and spent the money on the two sizes. I got this one in a size Medium and it fits perfectly with just an easy adjustment of the buckle. Our little man is a Labradoodle, now at about 32 lbs and expected to reach a 60-ish weight probably. He is VERY high energy, very strong and very smart, but our little darling is no longer little and I have been finding myself struggling with his 32 lb self pulling on the walks. I cannot imagine when he is full grown, so I decided finally to nip this in the bud and I ordered the gentle leader. It arrived today and I was amazed at how he has NO power to pull AT ALL. I even noticed that in many situations like when he would normally lunge at something, he didn't, maybe that is just from the novelty and will eventually wear off, but for today, it was as if he had a total attitude adjustment. It was like magic. He is none too pleased about the new situation, for sure, but I am pleased as punch. Will take a few days of working with him to get used to it so he stops trying to pull it down with his paws, but even when he was trying he couldn't get it off successfully unless I let off on the tension to the leash altogether which I was able to correct for easily enough. This is a truly genius product.9112melissa

I am so glad I took the chance and purchased these for my adorable and INSANELY CRAZY JRTs.I have tried it all. Obedience lessons, vibrate collars, halters, treats… but JRTs are very independent minded and unless you spend THOUSANDS on training, forget it.I have disabilities so walking my beloved pups was a challenge most daysMy male is still adjusting. He doesn't like it.However, he will fight a bit but once he puts the one part where the clasp connects to leader and then believes he's walking himself, then he prances down the sidewalk as if he's in control again.Our female is very good with it. You can tell she's not too happy about it, but walks very well now and I don't struggle with them barking ridiculously at bikes, dogs, SQUIRRELS!, etc.She was always running on her halter and now ~I~ WALK my dogs, they don't pull me.I didn't even watch the training DVD. My husband and I just put them on. The 1st eve was a bit difficult, but its been a few days and they are doing way better.I know by next week they will be fine. Jo is stubborn so it will be a few days but Jesse has adjusted. She's just happy to walk anytime. But now there's no pull, waaaay less barking and my whole left disabled side of my body says THANK YOU!Jmyers

I have an 18 month old standard poodle. I’ve had her since 9 weeks old. She’s full of energy and gets super excited. I’ve trained her well on a typical lead but I was having issues controlling her when she would get excited by people and animals. I have arthritis in my hands and wrists, I have shoulder problems as well. Every time I walked her I’d be in so much pain trying to pull her back. A service dog trainer suggested the gentle leader to me and it’s totally changed I no longer have the shoulder and back pain from pulling her back. She’s really a perfect angel now with her I bought four of them in different colors because they are so amazing. Please get one for your dog even if you don’t think you need it. You won’t be sorry!zina.c

The Canny Collar is the best dog training tool you can buy. It's safe and gentle for your dog, and it's simple and easy for the owner. It's a little more expensive than other types of "halter collars," but its features and design makes it worth a few extra dollars. Most halter collars lead from underneath the dog's mouth; the Canny Collar lets you lead and direct from the back of the head, like a typical leash. We have used it recently on two dogs — a 5 mo old Border Collie and a 1 year old German Shephard. The results were amazing. Walks and training have become much more enjoyable for the dogs and their humans. Not all dogs take to it immediately, but in our case, it was only a few blocks before they settled in. It's important to read the instructions, so you know how to correctly put it on the dog, and how to correctly walk your dog and use the collar.roger-dodger-228

Oh my goodness! I am just about to purchase a Canny collar from VetnPet after borrowing a friend's to trial. We both have Dobermans, both pull like crazy and consequently we both have sore left shoulders. After 4 walks on the Canny collar my Dobe is a breeze to walk. Before the Canny, my arm was ALWAYS extended whereas now I have NOT had to extend my arm once. It is as if my Dobe is stuck on my left knee. The past 4 walks have been so enjoyable and easy we are walking an extra half to one hour each morning. Cannot believe the difference. Another advantage using a Canny is all the control is from the back of the head/neck and not to the side like some haltis. This is far better for Dobermans and other long necked dogs who are prone to neck alignment damage.Sue

Nice collar, good quality webbing and buckle. I do not find it as easy as shown to wrap the loose webbing around my dogs neck , when letting my dog run free, only because I find the clips fiddly and have to put my glasses on. In theory it sounds good but I have a persistant pulling springer and it doesn't'work on her like the videos I've watched. She doesn't mind the band across her nose as she has previously worn a halti, although sometimes she manages to get it off. I've looked up about persistent pulling whilst using the canny collar and I'm now trying the long lead and turn method. I feel more in control by holding the head but it doesn't stop pulling instantly . I think with my dog this is going to take time and patience to crack this. I can't say whether I would recommend this collar, as it hasn't worked for me as shown yet.chelle53
