Personally I have used both methods, the head halter and harness by Premier, the company that makes them both. Halti does have similar devices that produces the same results. The Gentle Leader head harness did work in the wink of the eye but you must have it on correctly and correctly IS supposed to be quite tight which is what I did not like about it. The vet fit it on my dog. People talk about show leads being high up on a dogs head, well at least the show lead isn't that tight. Don't get me wrong I did like the results it produced but hated the tightness of it. And it does have to be tight, I watched the DVD that came with the Gentle Leader not JUST interpreted the instructions from a written enclosure.

The head halter is used if you have a puller AND A strong JUMPER. IF your dog isn't a jumper then the Easy Walk harness by they same co. as makes the Gentle Leader is even easier on the dog. Halti produces a harness also.
