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?
the package that i get them in says halti on it...but the ones i use dont stop them from mouthing...they can open there mouths quite wide (except timber cuz hers is too small). Im not sure what station i saw it on..it was probably on either the life network or the other one (im not sure what its called, its channel 37 here) they just said that borders and collies are social dogs and dont like haltis...i can see that, because the second they pull on the leash, the halti will pull their head to the side. if they r wearing a collar, their head will not be restricted, but instead their body...
i went to get timber a choke chain today, but they werre thirty dollars, so instead i bought a new leash for thirty dollars, cuz the leash my aunt gave me is a chain and i dont like it....
hey, and does anyone know the scoop on body halters? i just wanna know what they r like...
