aw..too bad you didn't get the halti. I recommend it 110%! Maybe you could try to convince your dad with this? Kai was an extreme puller from day one. He's a small boy, but very strong non the less. I tried training heel, but didn't work. I brought him to obedience only for socialization and walking nicely. He got the socialization thing, but the walking was still horrible. I decided to get the halti after hearing about it on a tv dog show. From the very first moment, Kai was an angel on it. He now walks by my side and no more sore arms from him pulling. It's also very useful because when we get to a corner, I pull the halti slightly up so he sits. I'm trying to make it a habbit just in case he dashes for the street one day. Also, it'll help with dominancy. Everytime the dog pulls, it ever so slightly puts a small bit of pressure on the muzzle. Just enough to close it. The only negative thing about it is that people stare at you from time to time thinking it's a muzzle to keep him from biting. Of course, they change their mind when he just sits at the corner nicely. I even tried using a collar with two straps (I call it bra straps lol) on saturday. Because I've used the halti for a few months now, he automatically walks nicer on the collar. So, if you really don't like it after a while, you can always switch back and have the same effects. I hope you can convince your dad! It's a wonderful product.
