I was about to look for a YouTube video when I just happened to hold the harness in a particular way and the way it fell made it apparent how you are supposed to place it around the dog's legs. Front clip harnesses can be difficult for dog owners to get used to. It's a weird point of control for most pet owners, and while they may be effective, it takes a while to get used to using these training products. The Halti Harness is very simple to use and comfortable for dogs to wear.

Well, I'm around 5 feet and I say this to give context to the length of the lead because it's very long, in fact even my husband thinks this is the case and he's taller than me (to be fair, most people are). Using head harnesses like this for longer periods has led to distress and severe consequences reported by owners.Dog muzzles are often associated with aggression. But, they can be used on dogs for a number of reasons, from avoiding bites, to preventing your dog eating harmful items on walks.

Halti is a brand that sells a number of head and body harnesses designed to prevent pulling in dogs. Their most popular and common product is a head harness that has almost become synonymous with the brand name.The Julius-K9 provides a reassuringly snug fit that doesn’t get in the way of the dog’s movements; the lower chest strap sits just behind the forelegs and doesn’t rub against the elbows. However, it does seem a bit over-engineered. The chest webbing on the Size 1 model we tested is about 5cm in width and strong enough to pull a train. It’s also difficult to adjust. Straps are attached via a slider, designed to adjust to tension and therefore correct pulling. The harness is lightweight, with soft but durable webbing that sits beneath your dog’s arms and helps to keep them cool during walks. The softness of the harness allows for a full range of movements, too, so your dog shouldn’t feel unnaturally restricted either. Haltis are not a long term solution if your dog is pulling on the leash. They pair the action of pulling with an unpleasant consequence.

Dog leashes come in a variety of styles and lengths and are essential accoutrements for the welfare and protection of your dog, especially if walking near traffic and areas that require a tether. Some leads are made from cheap nylon webbing and cost only a few pounds while others are hand-made out of premium leather for maximum parkland prestige.

But, they aren’t inherently as cruel as other punishment-based methods people may use to try and stop their dogs from pulling on the leash. The lead has multiple metal hoops so you can shorten it but even at its shortest length, basically halved, it's very long. Too long for me and most definitely too long for what I'd consider a short/road length as the instructions say it's suitable for and by having to turn the lead four or five times around my hand, it made it quite slippery.
