Who are THEY? I have seen many Borders and Shelties using Halti or Gentle Leaders. These devices may freak a dog out when they first are put on but they can do the same for any other dog too. If put on properly this device will not stop a dog from socializing. It may stop them from socializing by mouthing but that's about all I can see! Perhaps we are not talking about the same device?
