Wolfsoul, I have a hard time understanding how the halti could be too small for your dogs?

Nebo's like a 50 lb dog....not big......and his muzzle is pretty small....and it fits him fine. Actually, the size that it recommended for a husky was too big, so I had to get a size smaller. Same with my friends german shorthair.

The halti has the clasp that you hook to the collar for safety. Nebo has jerked and pulled back, and it has never even come close to coming off of him. When the dog pulls backward, it tightens over the muzzle.

I don't see how a dog can pull with that on. It just doesn't seem possible to me. It's attached to the muzzle, they can't pull with their heads like that....or at least that's how it seems to me. Lady, the german shorthair, is a HORRIBLE puller, I mean, she'd rip your arm off...she's a pretty big dog, 65+ lbs....and she can't pull at all with the Halti on.

As far as the prong collar, I thought it'd be easier to transition a dog from prong collar to regular collar vs. halti to regular collar, as the halti is completely different from a collar. I don't know though. So far with the halti, Nebo walks good with it on, but just walks the same as before with it off.
