 I'm not easily impressed... Dec 22, 2010
By J. Reid
I'm not easily impressed, especially with dog training gadgets, but this definitely impressed me. We recently rescued a 2 year old pit bull, weighing a skinny 65 pounds. He loves to run after anything that moves (dogs, cats, chickens, deer, etc), and will nearly pull me across the field when he gets a bead on something. Once he gains some more weight, I will not be able to hold him back if he decides to go after something. I bought the Halti (size 3) to try. WOW!!! Fortunately, he didn't fuss too much about it being on his muzzle - he pawed at it a little, but I distracted him with a treat. Took him for a walk and he immediately learned that if he pulls, it tightens around his snout and it pulls his head towards me, whereas if he walks without pulling, it's very comfortable. He walked so good the first time, that I took him near the chicken pen just to test it out. As soon as he lunged, the Halti did what it's designed to do. He immediately quit lunging and walked obediently. I'm still amazed at how easily and quickly this worked.
I was so impressed that I went to buy one for my other dog (a pit bull mix, about 55 pounds, loves to pull while walking). They were out of the size that I needed, so I bought the more expensive Gentle Leader instead. She did not like it at all. Where the Halti is not snug on the muzzle unless the dog pulls, the GL has to be somewhat snug - just due to its design. I did not like how the GL seemed to pass right under her eye sockets. I will be taking it back and getting the Halti.
The other feature that I liked about the Halti is that it has a semi-muzzle function to it. As the dog lunges forward, the band around the snout tightens - making it difficult for the dog to open its mouth. The GL doesn't do this at all. The Halti is designed more like a horse halter and fits the larger, longer snouts of dogs exceptionally well. It does not cut up under the eye like the GL. (I can see where the GL might work better on squishy-faced dogs.)

OF ALL THE COLLARS WE'VE TRIED, IT'S THE BEST! Apr 01, 2009
By chicagorock
We have purchased a great many collars, but even the gentle leader, which is a similar product, could not keep our big dogs at heel, but this did. The other reviewers are correct, dogs may chew through it. But that is true of most soft collars, and this is a much better choice than metal chokers. Simply keep an eye on your dog and you should be okay, because when the halti is taught, on walks, it's unbeatable. I rarely write reviews, but it's such a pleasure strolling with it, we thought it was helpful that we share.

 Halti Sizing May 02, 2010
Service from seller was excellent. Halti sizing, however, was not. I went by my dog's weight (65 lbs) and purchased a size 3. It slips off her head with no problem & cannot be tightened anymore. Maybe the size should be based on circumference of the head? Very disappointed since I cannot use this product and return postage plus replacement postage would be about the price of a new one.

Holt: The new and improved Halti! May 07, 2011
By Jennifer Leising
I won't rant and rave about the benefits and drawbacks of using a headcollar - each dog is different and responds differently to various training tools, and I'm assuming that you've found this product based off your own research and recommendations from trainers and friends.
The hard part is deciding which headcollar type to use. In the past decade, I've used several different headcollars, including the Halti, the Gentle Leader, the Petmate AKC Headcollar, and the Holt. In my opinion, the Holt is the sturdiest, most comfortable, and most flexible headcollar of the whole bunch, and is a worthy successor to my previous favorite, the Halti.
The Company Of Animals Halti Head Halter Black Size Halti Head Halter Black Sz 0 Training & Behavioral Aids
The Halti was, previously, the best halter for a very simple reason: it had side-straps on either side of the dog's face that prevented the noseband from riding up a dog's face and digging into the dog's eyes. It also worked without cinching the dog's mouth shut, like the Gentle Leader. However, the noseband was not padded, and while I made my own homemade padding for the noseband, it was at least very wide to prevent the material from biting into the dog's skin (unlike the Gentle Leader). The Halti generally came only in black, though colors could be found online. The Halti, despite being designed to function loose (and allowing a dog the full use of its mouth), often made your dog look "vicious" by wearing a "muzzle", particularly in the black color. Prior to the holt, this was the most comfortable.
HALTI PROS: comfort, looseness, prevents noseband from riding up, safety buckle connects to collar
HALTI CONS: limited colors, no padded noseband, can not be cinched tight for short-nose breeds
Gentle Leader Head Collar, Size: Small, Color: Royal Blue
The Gentle Leader, however, was the choice for short-nosed breeds. The Halti suffered when a shorter-snouted dog pawed at the noseband to remove it. The Gentle Leader's design cinched the dog's mouth closed with a locking mechanism, allowing it to be used snugly on short-nosed breeds. For standard-shaped noses, the cinching could be kept more loose to allow for more comfort. It did not have the side straps like the Halti, so it could ride up into the dog's eyes. The noseband was narrow and not padded (unless you shell out extra $ for the premium version not found in stores), so it bit into the dog's skin at the top of the nose. However, it came in multiple colors which helped it look less like a muzzle.
GENTLE LEADER PROS: color choices, cinches tight for short-nose breeds, safety buckle connects to collar
GENTLE LEADER CONS: uncomfortable narrow non-padded noseband (note: premium GL has nose padding, but still narrow), can ride up into eyes
Petmate 3/4-Inch by 16-24-Inch Medium AKC Padded Dog Halter, Brown
New to the game was the Petmate AKC-branded headcollar. This came in many colors and was pre-fitted with a fleece padded noseband. The noseband color is always brown, and there are additional options for colors of the straps. This headcollar looked the least like a muzzle. However, the locking mechanism was not sturdy and would often slide, allowing dogs (even long-nosed breeds) to paw the noseband off their face. It also did not come with a safety strap to connect the headcollar to a dog's normal buckle collar (though one could be homemade very easily). It also buckles underneath the neck, rather than on the side of the face.
PETMATE AKC PROS: color choices, fleece padded noseband
PETMATE AKC CONS: loose & slide-able lock, no safety strap to connect to collar
Now, onto the Holt. The Holt is identical to the Halti except for two key features: a "camlock" and a foam-padded noseband. The camlock is a very tight locking mechanism that does NOT budge when the dog paws at the noseband. It is a great tool to keep the headcollar ON your dog. For short-nosed breeds, the camlock can be set tight and will stay in place. It has the same great features of the halti to prevent the noseband from riding up into the eyes, and the safety strap to connect the headcollar to a buckle collar. In addition, the noseband is padded with black foam material, not fleece, and is extremely soft and comfortable. It is sewn on the underside of the headcollar, and does not interrupt the color (can not be seen while the dog is wearing the headcollar). The Holt comes in a variety of colors, including red, pink, and blue.
HOLT PROS: extremely comfortable, foam padded noseband, noseband doesn't ride up into eyes, camlock keeps noseband in place even with short-nosed breeds, multiple colors
HOLT CONS: ???
If you are considering a headcollar to train your dog, I highly recommend the Holt for all breeds. It is a worthy successor to the Halti and addresses the cons of that headcollar.

Power steering for dogs! Apr 03, 2009
By Kelly M. Jones
"Peculiargirl"
I bought Halti's (size 1) today for both my miniature schnauzer and my welsh corgi/poodle mix. They are both pullers when we walk, especially at the beginning of walks and if they get close to dogs or other people as they are super friendly and want to meet everyone they meet.
The Halti's were easy to put on, I tried them on in the store, and easier to figure out than the Gentle Leader head harness, which I also attempted to try on the dogs. They weren't too expensive ($18 each), but they appeared to only come in one color, black, which isn't too bad.
I was surprised at how well the dogs took to having them put on while I was in the store. It was slightly different in the car. They were easy enough to put on, but my schnauzer, especially, started trying to pull it off almost immediately. I was able to get him to stop through verbal commands.
I left the Halti on in the car so that when I got home I could try it out with a leash. They both hated it! I was expecting this honestly, so it was only a minor frustration. They kept putting their paws through the loop created between their collars and the Halti's emergency clip (in case the Halti slips off it is still attached to their collar). They managed to pull themselves out of the loop around their muzzles, but they collar part managed to still hold them.
I walked them around individually a few times in the house after placing the loops back over their muzzles. They obviously didn't like being led around by their head, but I don't like being pulled around on a walk either. :) They were responding quickly though and there was very little pulling when they walked with me.
I took them on a long walk shortly there after and it worked like a charm. It felt like power steering for my dogs, there was zero pulling by either dog and only occasionally would the schnauzer paw at his muzzle, but even then it wasn't much.
I do have to mention that I unlooped the emergency strap from the halti and attached it in such a way that they couldn't get their paws into it, this stopped them from being able to pull the muzzle loop off and kept them from getting a paw stuck too.
Overall I think this is a fantastic product, it worked exactly like it was supposed to. It would be nice if the dogs liked it too, but they didn't seem too upset once we were out walking and since they only need to wear it on walks that works for me.
I would recommend this to anyone with any size dog that pulls when walking or jogging as it really does work. I have tried every other kind of harness and collar (except the anti-pull around the chest type harness) and none of them worked for me at all as my dogs would rather choke themselves to death than not pull. I am sure they will get used to it over time and learn to get excited when I pull their Halti on as it means it's time for a walk.
