for me, i just followed the diections that came with it. You just intro the halti, let him sniff it and then put it on for a few minutes to get used to it. Take it off, give a treat. Continue doing this, and increasing the mount of time the Halti is on. Once the dog is used to the feeling of the Halti, you can intro the leash. This is where it gets tricky. Duke did fine with the halti on its own, but once the leash was pput on, he wasnt all that thrilled. But just a few turns around the house,and took it off. same thing as before, just keep increasing the amount of time. once they realize that as long s they are doing the right thing, there is no pressure on the Halti, and life is good. It only took 2 days with duke, to get him used to it. And now he walks like a champ! You have to make sure you get the right fit though, cause if it is too tight, it can hurt, and if it is too loose they can slip it off. Best to have the dog at the pet store and try it on.
