My friend's german shorthair, Lady, is a MAJOR pulling and choking dog. Melissa never really tried to leash train her, and it's gotten out of hand. I walked (errr...ran? lol) her down from her house to mine. I woke up the next morning and my arms were just killing me. Melissa thought about getting a chock collar for her. At Petco we have the noose type leashes just to put on the dogs to move them and such, and I told her the tightening didn't stop Lady AT ALL when she has been there. So she ended up with a Halti. Poor Nebo, just for curiosity's sake, we tried it on him, and he FREAKED OUT about it...baby.....good thing he doesn't really need one (yet). Anyway, Melissa says Lady walks like a dream on that thing! I guess my question is, is it possible to train them to walk nicely with a halti, and move onto walking them with just a collar?
