I USED to but now know this is the absolute perfect way to walk/train a dog. Just like you said keeping the lead very high, almost if not touching the back of the skull is vital. My dogs all walk just behind me with this lead and I don't get pulled any more!! I am surprised how few know this very simple yet effective technique. THANKS :o) This is so effective I have no idea why anyone would use a pinch or choke collar. I USED to but now know this is the absolute perfect way to walk/train a dog.

They do some really thick rope for stronger dogs too. There are some great rope and braid slip leads, and also a halter available at dogleadshop.co.uk/

Choke collars and the like are odd since he's got so many folds. He can get out of a regular collar also. A harness works the best for big Gus, believe it or not.

I use a Gentle Leader at times which is basically the same thing and Ace hates wearing it! He prefers the pinch collar.

I must admit though, my dog doesn't like it as much as I do, but it makes for a much more pleasant walk. I love my halti!

I can walkk from the house to the car with just a flat lead, the sheer weight of both, especially excited would just pull me over.. this sounds a good idea for instant control ie a dog park if they become over excited etc, gives the owner a little bit more peace of mind and or confidence I assume I contro the two girls with a Halti… I can walkk from the house to the car with just a flat lead, the sheer weight of both, especially excited would just pull me over.. this sounds a good idea for instant control ie a dog park if they become over excited etc, gives the owner a little bit more peace of mind and or confidence I assume
