So I tried the halti...it works great. He CAN'T pull at ALL with that. He hates it though. And I hate all the looks I get when I use it on him.
I am 100% in favor of the halti or gentle leader collars. I think they are a must for any dog that has the tendency to pull. I also feel better knowing that a gentle tug is all I need to get my dog totally focused on me. Leo also didn't like it at first, but he got used to it pretty quickly and when we used it in training sessions - his learning curve seemed to go way up.


You're right though - people look at you kind of funny like "why is your dog muzzled???"
