Setup
- Introduce Gradually: Allow your dog to sniff and explore the headcollar. Place treats through the nose loop to encourage positive association.
- Fitting the Nose Loop: Gently slip the nose loop over your dog's muzzle. It should sit comfortably, not too tight, just below their eyes. Ensure it does not restrict panting or mouth movement.
- Securing the Neck Strap: Bring the neck strap behind your dog's ears and fasten the buckle. Adjust the strap so it's snug but not tight – you should be able to fit one to two fingers comfortably under it.
- Attaching the Safety Link: Clip the small safety link onto your dog's regular collar. This provides an essential backup if the headcollar accidentally comes loose.
- Connecting the Lead: Attach your lead (ideally a Halti Training Lead) to the O-ring located under your dog's chin.
Compatibility
The Halti Headcollar is designed for all breeds of dogs that exhibit pulling behavior. It comes in various sizes to fit different dog breeds, from small to very large. Always refer to the manufacturer's sizing guide to select the correct size for your dog's specific measurements.
Care
- Cleaning: The nylon webbing can be hand washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the headcollar for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage, especially on the straps, buckles, and D-rings. Replace if damaged to ensure continued safety and effectiveness.
- Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
