Walk 'n Train Polyester Dog Headcollar

This headcollar was recommended to me originally by my dog trainer but unfortunately we ended up agreeing that it just did not work for my pup. I had no problem putting it on her but once on she scratched and scratched and scratched trying to get it off. We continued to try it out hoping that she would eventually get used to it but we didn't have any luck and after awhile she was scratching so much at it that I started worrying it was causing her too much distress and that she might accidentally hurt herself trying so hard to remove it. Yes, even with supervision, and lots of distractions and treats, it was just too much! Its high quality material and it arrived quickly so I can't fault chewy.com This headcollar was recommended to me originally by my dog trainer but unfortunately we ended up agreeing that it just did not work for my pup.

We've been using this for our 60 lb doodle since she was a pup. She has never minded putting it on or wearing it when she's on leash. It makes her walks so much more pleasant for everyone concerned since she has a tendency to chase leaves and squirrels.

Part of my obedience lessons are teaching a disciplined walk. When my instructions were met with noncompliance ' I only teach positive reinforcement' I ordered the Walk 'n Train. This equipment turned a stubborn and frustrated dog into a compliant and very happy dog! I now carry all sizes of the Walk 'nTrain headcollar in my equipment bag! what a wonderful, kind way to change attitudes.

I ordered a medium at first which was too large. Then I ordered a small but you sent the medium. I want the small.

They don't last forever but we don't use them forever. If you start training it when your pup is 16 to 20 weeks, they will need a larger one in a few months. This design allows us to keep the nose loop completely loose, and the cheek straps (plus training ) makes it easy for the dog to want to keep it on. Head halters put no pressure on a dog's neck, so a dog is never choked, not even accidentally. This is a safer way to handle large dogs. Learning to condition a dog to love a head halter is great practice for conditioning a dog to love a crate, to love coming when called, to love relaxing around other dogs.

I have a 50 lbs pit bull. He's neck at the base measures 28" and his snout measures 10.75in around. Looking at other reviews i decided to size down a little, I went with the large. It fits him perfectly. I recommend acclimating your dog to this first, putting it on for a few minutes at a time while giving treats/praise until they seem unphased by it. My dog isn't a terrible puller, that is until we pass other dogs. This makes it much easier for me to redirect his attention. It also makes walking him a dream. I highly recommend this harness. Hopefully it holds up well over time!

First of all this product worked very well to control my adopted dog. He weighs 20 lbs. It was a bit hard to figure out, definitely took a few times to figure out especially if it got twisted. But he could get out of it which happened twice. The harness connects to the collar too so he could not get away. Unfortunately the nose strap fell apart after about 15 uses. Also there was extra on the nose strap which looked uncomfortable to me.

I love these. They have a padded nose band for comfort which my dogs appreciate. Can say for sure they are great quality products. Even with a freak incident of a dog coming after us on our walk and my dog who is very fear reactive of new, big dogs ABSOLUTELY freaking out on leash trying to protect me and himself, this head halter did not budge an inch. Will never buy another brand.

Pulling needs to be corrected in training, but we have found this is a great lead to start the training. Nothing was fitting our boxers face except this one. We purchased this is a replacement as they just get used and dirty after awhile.

I ordered the size that should fit him based on his measurement, the side braces get into his eyes, it still worked better then the other one I bought
