Worked, but my dog hated it Aug 06, 2008 By Sara B. Tarpley "genealogymom"
I gave the Halti head collar three stars because it was recommended to me by a trainer and because it did work. Our beagle is a timid dog, which led to some aggression caused by fear and by her being uncertain of her status. The Halti mimics the pressure that mother dogs put on puppies' snouts to discipline them and also makes it difficult for the dog to pull.

Molly's behavior was greatly changed on walks. In fact, it changed so much that it was sad. She walked solemnly and joylessly, looking neither to the left or the right. She hated the Halti, and we had to chase her down to get her to let us put it on. Even though it has been a year since we stopped using it, we still have trouble sometimes getting her to come when she thinks we are going for a walk.

Most discussions of the Halti emphasize that it may take a while for your dog to grow accustomed to it. Molly never did. In fact, we owned two because she chewed the first one up. Maybe it was just normal chewing, or maybe she was sending us a message!

It's ok Jul 12, 2011 By Vernon
Bought this after a friend suggested it. My dogs hated it at first. Still can't get one of them to wear it and it takes a lot of time a patience to get them used to it. We don't even use them anymore, it got to be a bit of a hastle. We got training leashes and they seem to be doing a much better job. The sizing.......you might want to get a size smaller than you think you should get. They do seem to run a little big. Not a bad product if you have a laid back dog.

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.

Please note that I have included customer photos showing the Halti and the Holt side-by-side in the "customer photo" section here:

Good collar for dog walking Apr 04, 2010 By ksh
Nice collar for helping to train your dog not the pull when walking. Size 2 is very large for a 40-pound terrier mix, even when in the smallest position, but serves the purpose. Very fast shipment by seller.
