You obviously bought the halti to prevent pulling and many people use them and have success. But there is another solution and that is to teach Ruby to heel. We use the chain collars to do the training and really, they learned the concept quite quickly. Once they know the term *heel*, walking is much more of a pleasure...no pulling at all. If you don't want to have to have Ruby walk at your side the whole time you are walking, try to teach her the command *easy*. I just recently got one of the extendable leashes. If Hannah gets to the end of that and starts to pull, I just tell her *easy* and she knows that means slow down a bit, hence no pulling.

Good for you wanting Ruby to enjoy her walks. That's what it is all about.
