Reddit mentions of Company Of Animals Halti Head Halter Black Size 2

We original started out with a standard collar (in the UK, we don't have things like Prong Collars or E-Collars and they are definitely not recommended use amongst the training community). With her rough start, she was already anxious and over-excitable and when walked using just a collar, she would pull so hard that she would choke herself.

We then moved onto a No-Pull Padded Harness (Similar to this design), which worked well with pulling until she realised shortly after, she could "slip-out" easily if she shuffled in a particular direction. Followed by 2-chewed-and-destroyed.

Then we got a standard Dog-vest Harness (This exact one), which has both front and back clips, and while this generally is a great harness, sturdy, long-lasting, like you've stated as a Husky Mix she thought this was a great way to sled-walk.

Finally we settled on the Halti Headcollar (This!) which was the game-changer and really started forward in her obedience and general walking.

​

I should point out, I am obviously aware that any Husky mix usually requires two to three times much more walking, that they are known for their stubbornness and their walking style ranges from "everything is fascinating" to "RUN!". I was prepared for this. What I wasn't prepared for the sudden change in reactiveness and the worsening of my mobility disability which took a massive impact on our daily routine. If I had known the extent of my injuries/disability would get to this point, this would probably be a completely different story.

​

EDIT: My point of using a Dog-vest Harness AND the Halti Headcollar is for extra-security, they are connected via cabling. I am fully aware that my escape-prone idiot could easily wriggle out of the Headcollar should she really want to. Because we live in a high-traffic area, I am concerned if I didn't have a back-up should she escape the Halti, that she would run straight into the road. Being connected to the Harness too provides me with the benefit of knowing that can't happen now.

There are leashes you can get for running that are made specifically to go around your waist and have stretch. I use one with my dog when I have to. Also my dog is a huge puller (rescue husky... can't get that sled dog mentality out of him) and the Halti works wonders. Goes around his muzzle and he pulls much, much less with it on.

I'm having top surgery in a week and have just decided to board him for the two weeks after surgery with a reputable boarder. I am lucky in that my wife will be able to walk him until I start feeling better as well. If you can afford it probably paying for a dog walker for the first week/two weeks would be best, and then getting the waist leash/Halti combo after that would make things easiest.

You could try a halti on the face.

It's not painful for them and they are a lot easier to control.

But yeah...just be mindful of the dog as mentioned elsewhere. Not all dogs like to run.

I found out today mine will stop if I go under a 9 minute mile. Which is fair enough!
