As we’ve learnt earlier in this guide to ‘what is a Halti’, this type of head harness has a loop that attaches around your dog’s snout.
So, ultimately, this product is no replacement for proper heel training. How is a Halti Different to a Body Harness? And it has reflective stitching on the straps so your dog will be plenty visible when walking at night. The most effective solution to a dog pulling on the leash is to train the heel command with positive reinforcement methods.

What is a Halti? 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. As we mentioned in the section ‘what is a Halti’, we will be looking at the Halti head collar for the rest of the guide. A Halti is one of many aversive training tools. Evidence suggests that aversive methods like this can actually be detrimental to the physical and mental health of our dogs, as well as less effective.If you are really struggling to manage with a puppy pulling on the lead we would recommend speaking with a vet recommended dog trainer or behaviourist to get some advice on how best to train your young dog not to pull. You wouldn’t exactly call it expensive but it’s well-made and very sturdy. Even for bigger, stronger dogs. This is an aversive tool that can cause distrust, and will not be as effective as positive training methods. Evidence from studies suggests that positive reinforcement methods are the most effective at training permanent skills. If your dog needs to be muzzled on walks, for whatever reason, a Halti is not a suitable alternative. Will a Halti Stop my Dog from Pulling?
Some people don’t even get this far, as their dogs desperately paw at their faces and roll around to get the collar off their nose. Walking even small dogs can be a miserable experience if you use the wrong harness. So imagine anchoring yourself to the shoulders of a dog bred for pulling like a Husky. Some dogs may still pull against the Halti head harness. And, they will pull as soon as a different type of harness is used. If the Halti does not stop your dog from pulling, they may experience high levels of discomfort – even if the product is only used on walks. How are Haltis Different to Muzzles?

How do Haltis Compare to Other Types of Aversive Collars?
We’ve been recommending the Adventure Harness since 2018. Since then, Embark pets have improved the design. They have redesigned the front D-ring lead attachment for better safety and durability. Plus, longer straps provide for better an even better fit. It’s pretty basic in design and as a result, very easy to fit and use. That said, it doesn’t have the same calming effect as the other two harnesses on this list. We’re assuming that because it’s a series of straps instead of padding that covers a large area of a dog’s body. As a result, we found the dogs we tested it on were more ready to pull. This is known as an aversive. It pairs the action of pulling on the leash with an unpleasant consequence. As no pull harnesses are made for dogs that pull (duh!). They need to be able to withstand the stresses your dog will inflict on them.
