The Company of Animals Halti Head Collar For Dogs

No-Pull Head Collar for All Dog Breeds

Product Description

The Company of Animals Halti Head Collar is the world's first no-pull dog headcollar, designed by renowned animal behavior expert Dr. Roger Mugford to give owners gentle yet effective control during walks. Built for maximum steering efficiency and unmatched dog comfort, it features a fully padded noseband, waterproof reflective webbing, and no metal parts in contact with the dog's skin, making it safe and suitable for dogs of all sizes.

Features

• Padded noseband for comfort
• On/off muzzling capability
• Freedom to pant
• Nose, eye, and neck friendly
• Waterproof reflective webbing
• No metal parts on dog's face
• Responsive no-pull design

Benefits

• Gentle steering control: The headcollar works on the principle that where the head goes, the body follows, allowing gentle redirection without pain or discomfort to the dog.
• Effective pulling prevention: When a dog tries to pull or lunge forward, the design transfers forward motion into a sideways head turn, immediately discouraging the behavior.
• Active training aid: Handlers can gently direct the dog's head into desired positions, which can then be rewarded and linked to voice commands such as 'sit', making behavioral modification practical and safe.
• Enhanced night-time safety: Waterproof reflective webbing on the headcollar provides added visibility during low-light or evening walks, keeping both dog and owner safer.
• Calming effect during walks: The soft material and careful construction can create a pronounced calming effect in many dogs, helping to reduce anxiety or over-excitement on the leash.

How to Use

Usage Instructions    

• Attach the safety link: Always connect the included safety link to the D-ring on your dog's regular collar before beginning a walk to provide an additional point of security.
• Fit label outward: Place the headcollar with the label and seams facing to the outside of the dog's face to ensure a correct and comfortable fit.
• Halt when pulling occurs: As soon as your dog begins to pull, stop walking. Resume forward movement only once the leash becomes slack to reinforce desired behavior.
• Pair with a training leash: For optimal no-pull support and steering control, pair the headcollar with the Halti Training Leash, which features a dual clip that attaches directly to the headcollar.

Additional Information

Care Instructions 

• Rinse after salt water: If the headcollar gets exposed to sea water, give it a quick rinse with fresh water as soon as you can. This helps stop any rust or damage on the metal parts.
• Air dry naturally: After washing or rinsing, just hang it up and let it dry on its own. Don’t use a tumble dryer, since that can mess with the shape and materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the correct way to measure my dog for the right headcollar size?

Ans: Place a tape measure snugly around the top of your dog's neck, just behind the ears, to get an accurate neck circumference.

Q2: Can this headcollar be used as a muzzle?

Ans: The headcollar features an on/off muzzling function, but it is not a dedicated muzzle. Dogs wearing it can still eat, pant, drink, and pick up objects freely. It is primarily a training and control tool rather than a restraint device.

Q3: How does this headcollar physically stop a dog from pulling?

Ans: When a dog attempts to pull or lunge forward, the patented design transfers that forward motion into a sideways turning of the head. This action redirects the dog's direction of movement immediately and without causing any undue stress to the animal.

Q4: Is this headcollar compatible with a no-pull harness?

Ans: Yes, it can be used alongside a no-pull harness. Attach one end of a double-ended leash to the chin ring on the headcollar and clip the other end to the back ring of the harness. Always keep the safety link connected to your dog's regular collar as well.

Q5: Will the headcollar restrict my dog's ability to pant or breathe?

Ans: No. The headcollar is specifically designed in multiple sizes to ensure it does not interfere with your dog's natural ability to pant, eat, or drink. Proper sizing is essential, and the manufacturer's fitting guide should be considered before use.

Q6: How long can the headcollar be left on during the day?

Ans: Leaving the headcollar on for long periods is not recommended. Dogs should never be left unsupervised while wearing it, as they may try to remove and chew the product. Use it only during walks and supervised training sessions for safety and welfare reasons.

Q7: What can I do if my dog keeps trying to remove the headcollar?

Ans: It is normal for dogs to initially resist a new training aid on their face. Use positive association methods by offering treats when they wear it, starting with just a few seconds at a time, and gradually building up duration. Distracting them with a toy during walks also helps.
