Thinking about a Halti Lead? Your Questions Answered

What is a Halti Training Lead?

The Halti Lead is an excellent option for any dog owner who has experienced problems pulling on the lead.

The Halti Lead is designed to give you control of your dog but still allows them to roam around freely. It's also comfortable and practical! This blog post will discuss how the Halti lead works, what features it offers and where you can purchase one.

The Halti Lead was designed by Dr Roger Mugford to provide control and guidance and to tether a dog in many situations.

The Problem with Dogs that Pull and How to Handle them

The problem with many harnesses is that any dog will naturally pull if wearing one; it's in their nature. The important part is how you respond to your dog pulling.

A double-headed lead such as the Halti has an advantage where a slight tug of the lead attached to the collar will distract them from pulling while you still have the security of the other end of the lead being attached to their harness.

When your dog pulls, stop walking and bring them to a heal. When they stop pulling, you can resume your walk, and if they pull, you simply stop again. These will feel like slow, baby steps, but you are teaching your dog that you are in charge, and it will take time and patience but will create a positive dog walk in the future.

Control is vital for both you and your dog. This is why the Halti Training Lead has two trigger clips for multiple points of connection with other dog walking accessories such as harnesses and headcollars.

What is a Halti Lead?

It's a versatile, multi-function lead for dogs that pull during a walk. The Halti Lead provides extra versatility and control when paired with no pull training products like Halti Headcollars and Harnesses.

The Halti Training Lead has two trigger clips for multiple connection points with other walking accessories.

The Halti Lead is made from highly durable, lightweight webbing, which feels very comfortable to hold. The lead is strong and is excellent for everyday use, and is perfect for small to medium-sized dogs.

The Halti Training Lead provides some much-needed flexibility on your dog walks. Although it can be used for hands-free walking or taking two dogs together on one lead, it can also be used for short-lead control, long-lead training and supervised tethering.

How to Make Sure the Halti Lead is a Success for You and Your Dog

It is crucial with all training to be calm and to persist. Here are some simple tips to help with using the Halti Lead.

As soon as your dog pulls, come to a stop.
Only continue when the lead is slack.
Treat your dog to a reward when they are not pulling to encourage and reward the good behaviour.
For dogs proving far more challenging, we recommend using the Halti Lead with your Halti no pull Headcollar or Harness for more control.
Always make sure you carefully check the clip and D ring before heading out of the door. As with all clips, any sand, dirt or foreign objects can prevent clips from closing, so check and double-check that all is secure before you go.

Are Halti Leads Good for Dogs?

We would highly recommend them but don't just take our word for it. Expert reviews have recently tested the best dog harnesses and lead in 2021 and guess who won 'Best Training Lead'? The Halti! The Halti Lead is an excellent choice for dogs, but it has been designed with a key purpose in mind, although it has evolved to be used for many different reasons.

Can I use Halti Leads for Puppies?

We recommend using a harness with the Halti Training Lead for early walking adventures or if your puppy is pulling. However, please do not use an anti-pulling head collar for any pup under nine months old, as it can cause injury when they're learning how to walk on their terms!

The versatile Halti Lead can be configured to 3 different lengths for relaxed to controlled lead walking. It can also be worn hands-free, which is great for training sessions where you need instant access to other training accessories like clickers and reward treats.

How do you use a Halti Lead?

The Halti Lead is a versatile, basic obedience training tool that can be used in various ways. The lead can be shortened for everyday use to create a manageable length for walking and heelwork. The lead can be extended to its full two-metre length for recall and distance work. The double-ended design also allows you to take two dogs on one leash.
