nelsona Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have just one question (perhaps silly one?) I don't mind if my dog stops and smells whatever attracts him - would halter allow him to do it? I was thinking that perhaps it will fall off?

nelsona Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well, I bought a Halti - it was fitted by vet's nurse, who chose size 4 for my german shepherd. However when my husband went for a walk and saw another dog, it fell off. I went back and the halti was exchanged for a smaller size - 3. Apart from the above incident it is sooo much easier to walk him except I feel a bit guilty - like he doesn't look too happy and doesn't even want to sniff things on the way. It's as if he doesn't enjoy walks so much anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugerfly Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 check chains dont do a thing for my strong boy who leaps and bounds at everything, neither does the halti im using. they eventually overcome the discomfort that it causes by squishing up their faces and eyes and twisting their neck. Im saving up for another prong collar for him. Its a hard situation for you to be in but dont wait too long to get the right equiptment or you will teach your dog to pull so hard, just like i did, without even knowing it.
