Good for dogs that pull
This is the only harness that works for my dogs , they don’t pull when wearing this . I’ve tried many different harness and none have worked. So glad I tried this one , our walks are more enjoyable now .
The harness is comfortable and very durable
Absolute game change
I have a very excitable reactive border collie, and walks became stressful as I struggled to control her. I am not exaggerating when I say this lead has been a total game changer. It was like a switch flipped- she no longer pulls, I’m able to control her around exciting triggers and she is much happier and confident. I am so happy with this product, i would recommend it to anyone trying to train an excitable, reactive dog
Actually works! My dog no longer pulls :-)
Had our first walk and it was literally like a miracle! Our springador no longer pulls and we walk in harmony. Can’t believe it. Normally, our walk was stressful and my dog was practically choking by pulling. Now, we are able to go further and we enjoy and are much more relaxed. Wish I’d known about this months ago! I got it with the halti lead so all works well together.
It works !!
My 8 1/2 month old doodle is walking to heal really well now that we are using this Halti product .
Size matters
Not quite sure what size other cocker spaniels are but useless for mine. German shepard now using. According to guidelines my 8yr old cocker, so not under developed, need this product recommended for a Yorkshire terrier. How ridiculous
Good backup didn't have the desired outcome.
Bought for our Vizsla pup looking to transition away from his headcollar . Hooking up at the back only encourages the dog to pull, the front ring was better but the dog really had to bolt in order for it to “steer/turn” him as it should. If you’re getting this as a alternative to an existing harness or you’re hoping to stop pulling, just save yourself the hassle and go for a head collar first.
Good product. I made a mistake measuring the dog.
Ordered the wrong size. Gave it to a friend who found it good value and has proved to be hard wearing.
It works but breaks quickly
I’ve had 2 of these now in the last 3-4 months and both broke in same place. The clip attaching harness to collar broke off. Having said that it really works I’ve tried all sorts of collars, harnesses etc over the years and this is only thing that keeps my dog from pulling. Would give it 5 stars if it didn’t keep on breaking!
Exactly as described
Bought this for my mother, she is very happy with it for her smaller sized dog.
Great puppy harness
We got this for our labrador puppy, we didn’t want her pulling on a collar and lead . Easy to put on and with the dual control she wasn’t pulling , this made it easier for heal work.
works well but retainer clip onto collar doesnt las
works really well with front or top lead attached. however the metal fastener to collar in the front has not lasted well and now needs to be replaced as will not stay attached
Too big
Although I’m sending it back, it looked very sturdy and well made, it was just too big fir my pup,I’m waiting for the small
Size to weak
Size to weak for our french Bulldog cross, next size up too big.
This Halti made walking my 7 month old Golden Retriever so much better immediately
From the minute I put this on my dog, life changed for me and him. Its great for me as I had back surgery but he is also fine with it. There is no more pulling.
Effective and easy to put o
I have spent a lot of money trying to find harnesses that stops my beagles pulling like horses! This harness is very good and so easy to put on and adjust. Definitely the best harnesses I have bought and the beagles are very happy to wear them. Usually they run away and hide at the sight of a harness.
Comfortable for our dog
Very good quality, comfortable and hard wearing. Good aid to keeping our dog under control
It Works!
This is the only harness or collar I have found, after trying many others, that actually works! I was amazed. My standard dachshund, an inveterate puller, now walks nicely – and it worked straight away. He’s a standard weighing 10k, so I bought a M size. I had to slightly alter the fit – dachshund’s aren’t shaped like other dogs – but it was very easy and only took a few stitches in the right places. It’s not only great for control, especially when coupled with the Halti training lead, but it’s lightweight so much more comfortable for the dog, especially in hot weather. It’s also pretty sturdy.
Best harness
By far the best harness I have used to walk my son’s dog who loves to pull.Have much better control .
Worth buying one.
I purchased a Halti harness a few years for my own dog. It was brilliant. This one was for my neighbour who had just adopted a rescue dog from Romania. He had never had a collar and lead leave alone a harness as he had lived on the streets all his life. At first he didn’t mind the harness but is now wearing a collar . This was a difficult one but as he’s still settling in my neighbour uses the harness now and then to get him used to it. I still think this is the best harness if a dog is very strong or pulls a lot. I have recommended it to many people who I’ve watched struggle. This suits dogs and owners in m6 opinion.
Dog correction harnesses
These harnesses are fiddly to fit and the clip is so tiny it’s difficult to attach it to the ring on the dogs collar. Even though we bought small one it’s too loose on one of terriers and therefor swivvles round so the lead un the chin doesn’t do its job. Having said that its better than other harnesses.
Brilliant- has actually stopped the pulling
Our 11 month old collie has constantly pulled. We were using a Julius harness. Took him to training and they recommended front fastening. Alongside training it’s made all the difference. Also use the halti lead which is great with the different hook options. Love taking him for walks now with none of the pulling and he’s happy.
Game changer of a harness and lead
I didn’t think anything would stop my lively Labrador from pulling its comfortable for her and stopped her instinct to pull even without having to pull her back made dog walking a pleasure instead of a chore bought with the matching lead
A magical product!
I bought this for my three year old Maltese. He is a good one but gets bit excited when we go out for a walk and starts pulling. I was initially bit skeptical and worried about how this product will work, but the results were amazing from day one! He stopped pulling immediately and there is chocking also.
I am using this daily on him and can see that the behaviour is slowly changing. Hopefully he will soon forget about pulling.
Only product improvement I would suggest is – one more smaller size for the small sized dogs will help.
Happy with this harness.
I had my doubts about this harness but it really does make a difference. My Border Collie hates being on the lead and tends to pull my arms off but somehow he is much calmer wearing this. It’s not expensive so I would say it’s definitely worth a try.
Cant beat a halti
I’ve been after one of these for a while as recommended by our dog trainer. I love how simple it is but also my boy doesn’t feel restricted and can still move freely when he’s off the lead. Very strong material.
Great buy
Pleased with harness come on time next day delivery and I have already noticed a difference in her pulling and it feels safer than other harnesses has it’s clipped on to there colla
Does exactly what’s promised
Best item I’ve bought to help train my dog to walk to heel. He is a huge 40kg retriever very strong willed. This halti has turned out dog walks from dreaded to enjoyable! It fits perfectly. Quality produc
Small fits a Boston terrier perfectly
My Boston terrier has picked up some bad habits over lockdown. Thankfully, this harness has helped with her pulling habit and provided so much humour watching her try to figure out how to beat the harness – comedy is in short supply at the moment. It has made walking a pleasure agai
Not built to last but works well before breaking.
Loved the halti and worked really well. Unfortunately less than a year old the clasp connecting it to the collar has come off. Not able reconnect and the harness doesn’t work when not connected to the caller for control. Shame as initially thought it was amazing but it’s not built to last.
Good harness
Really good harness for my mad spaniel, he does tend to get through about 1 a year as the clip for his collar tends to break
Excelle
Was not expecting these to be high quality for the price but they are excellent. We have tried a lot of collars amad harnesses and finally found one that works.
No more Pulling! It’s amazing...
This Halti is a Godsend! I have a slipped disc in my back and I was really struggling to walk my Golden Retriever on her Harness. I was recommended this by a neighbour and it was the best purchase I’ve ever made. I don’t know why or how but she doesn’t pull in the slightest! It’s saved me a lot of pain! Highly recommend for dogs who like to walk their owners lol
Does the job, easy to put o
It doesn’t stretch and isnt supposed to, so I’m not sure why I’m asked to rate that. It stops my cockerpoo pulling, but I don’t think it would stop a determined puller or a stronger dog (my guy is a beanpole). I got the smallest size and because he’s so skinny there was plenty of room even though he’s technically a ‘medium’ breed.
Best thing is you don’t have to get the dog to ‘step in’; it just goes easily (loosely) over the head and clips around the middle. Our last one dragged on his ears when it went over his head, and we had to pull one leg through a loop; pain.
Sturdy and hard-wearing
Poppy is a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky crossbreed and weighs in at 37 kilos. This Halti harness has worked well ~ it doesn’t slide about like others do. It is really sturdy and hard-wearing abd she tolerates very well.
Sturdy yet comfortable harness
Brilliant for my dog Barney, his waking was getting better itself but this has been an extra tool to help. Just stops him pushing through his chest and he learnt pretty quickly to put his head through to get it on. We got a Medium for our Labrador!
Does what it says on the ti
Great harness, I used the Halti head collar for years also a great product. However I wanted to change to a harness and haven’t been disappointed no pulling it feels sturdy and doesn’t seem to bother my staffy wearing i
Medium too big for female golden retrieve
I bought a meduim for my 35kg female golden retriever and its still slightly too big, the black strap at the front ends up round her shoulder and its tightened to the very smallest it will go! It did help with pulling! However will help alot more of it fit properly!! I’ve ordered a small!
Good quality
It fits my male standard poodle and could be adjusted to fit a slightly bigger dog than that, if that helps anyone with sizing. I like that it has clips on the front and back, though I recommend using the front clips if your dog is prone to pulling. Well made.
Good for our puppy border collie! L
This is a great lead, we bought this a few months ago and our puppy is now walking without pulling which has made walks so much more enjoyable for everyone! Would fully recommend buying this, but also using a collar around the neck and connecting the two leads (which you can do using the clasp) to make sure that the dog gets used to being led by the neck as well as the chest.
Stops pulling.
This stops my collie pulling, but I have to watch she doesn’t get tangled in the lead. She is used to the lead being clipped to her collar, and this clips at the front, so it is much easier for her to get tangled in the lead.
Great Produc
I do love this product, it has stopped my dog from pulling even from the first time he wore it. I ordered a medium size for him having measured him and guided by the dog breeds ( cocker spaniel) suggested for that size, however I have it on the smallest setting and I think it is still a little bit big, but it is doing what I wanted it to do.
Has transformed our walks!
I am pregnant and haven’t walked our labrador myself for months, as he can pull. Used this and he just trots beside me. Have walked him loads since having this, it’s given me so much confidence. I have to keep looking down to check he’s still there! Perfect and well worth the money.
Comfortable
I bought the small for my Cavalier King Charles and it fits perfectly with plenty of room for adjustment if required. Used this with the double-ended lead yesterday and i am amazed at the difference it’s made to our walks. It’s a gentle way to remind her what I expect of her Instead of me tugging on her collar and making her choke. My dog is learning to be calm on her walks now instead of always pulling to get ahead blindly. Yes I recommend 100%
The Most Amazing Harness Ever!!
After Three and a half years of our Border Terrier pulling and escaping and we’ve tried everything, today our little one was let off the lead for the first time. The progress she has made in 3 weeks is Amazing and I have recommended the training lead & harness to many of my friend!! Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you
Exactly what I wanted from a harness
Had this harness for a week or so now for our 8 month old Hungarian Vizsla. I had been looking for a less bulky harness as he was starting to get stronger and pulling more on his collar. It has reduced pulling a lot but not completely. Have used this harness with a halti double ended lead and an extendable, with either lead I have more control and he responds far better to correction than he would with a lead and collar. Overall really happy with it!
Works really well
This has made a massive difference to lead walking with my Cocker Spaniel. He normally pulls like a train but instantly he walked nicely and has continued to do so. I’d originally ordered the medium based on the guide but that was far too big and even the small could do to adjust more on the front for him – and he’s not dainty! Which is why I’ve given 4 stars instead of 5. The fit could be a bit better but as it works we will stick with it.
It does the job
It’s very good in preventing the dog pulling but harness needs retightening quite often and it’s time consuming setting it all up
My puppy is walking loose leash!
My Labrador is 10 months and we’ve been training loose leash walking for 5 months. Everything halted when nothing seemed to be working anymore. He didn’t pull crazily but would walk nicely for a few steps and then surge forward. Stopping and starting didn’t work.
I thought I’d try this and I can’t believe it. If he does try to surge forward, I turn my wrist on the leash attached to the front clip to create tension. He comes back straight to position. It’s a clear signal my pup understands, rather than just a lead connected to his collar going right.
Our training is now progressing well and he is waking beautifully!
The only thing that annoys me a little is when the harness is adjusted, some of it hangs loose. It doesn’t get in the way but it annoys me. It might be because he’s in between sizes at the moment. Next time I’d look for a different one that doesn’t do this.
Harness
It was just the job to help to stop her pulling
Very good
Fits quickly and easily. Only downside is the piece that hangs down under my Mastiff
Check sizing
Double check sizing, as i followed the measurement guide and still the harness is on the large side.
Worked instantly!
Oh my goodness, my collie X Elkhound is a very strong puller and this is one of the first times I’ve left the house without being dragged down the street! At first I was annoyed at having to buy two, but I’m just delighted to have a back up now!
Effective
To be honest, this is the second of this Halti model I’ve bought, but my Lab puts them through a lot! This is the best I’ve found for controlling his tendency to pull (I’ve tried several other harness designs) and can recommend if you’ve a tug-dog like mine!
Best I have used
This is not a miracle and does not solve the problem, but it certainly helps with the controlling. No more bad backs walking the dogs, and they definitely do not pull as much. I’ve have bought and tried various different harnesses, and this is by far the best. Would definitely recommend. It was trial and error with the correct sizing and adjusting, but kept the first one and used it on my other dog and reordered another size. Good value for money.
Great piece of kit, wish I found out about it years ago!
Bought initially for my springer as borderline on sizing but a very snug fit (I am now using the next size up). Now being used by a relative for a cocker spaniel which is a lovely fit and has reduced the pulling considerably and now easier to manage on walks. Very well made and easy to fit once adjusted to your dog. Dog doesn’t mind wearing it or rub or catch on soft parts behind legs. Prefer this to the nose Halti which they continuously paw at.
What a difference this makes!
Got this for our 12 month old boisterous black lab as he would often pull when leads were just on his collar, which resulted in him choking himself.
He doesn’t like harnesses (and this was no different) but, once we have it on, he is so much easier to control!
My wife particularly likes it as she’s back in control when taking him for walks!
Wouldn't be withou
Love this harness. I purchased this following review re dogs that pull as I have two that pull and are very strong especially if they see a cat or anything furry and moves ! And I can honestly say thats its been a god send. They can still pull but not half as much as before and I can stay on two feet ! Training helps also. I would recommend buying it with the halti lead as this helps also
OK
My Beagle backed out of this too many times…not saying it is a bad design but not good for those stubborn clever dogs.
Does a good enough job
Great product, however ordered a medium for my BB, the harness fits well but is quite thin and does have a tendency to split round when she’s pulling constantly, does help with pulling, when used with the double ended halti lead.
Than goodness for this harness !!
Amazed how brilliantly this works. Was sceptical at first but after reading reviews I decided to buy it and so glad I did. Walking our dog is now a pleasurable experience for all of us after previously having her pulling us along continuously! A fantastic harness, would 100% recommend this item
Front control harness
Did not use the product! I sent it back! I thought it was a bit to heavy with too much metal on it! But it looked very well made, sturdy and probably very durable
helpful training aid
when first put on my dog the reaction to stop pulling was instant but it is not to long before the dog start pulling again but not as bad as a coller on it own providing you only attach the lead to the front ring on the harness if the harness gets wet from the rain or your dog jumping in the water you will find the ajustments clips slide on the nilon webbing making the filment very lose and there is no point in re ajusting the straps untill webbing is compleatly dry i have been using this for over a year now the fit can get a bit loose and the back strap often ends up round the back of the dogs head and not over the sholder if you are on a buget this will do ok but i will be buying something a bit better soo
I ordered three different harness this time. before that I had ordered a medium control harness which I found to be too big even though on the web site they said the medium would fit a cocker spaniel . So this time I ordered a small control harness which fitted her . After a fight I managed to put it on her and it fitted perfectly and so far she has not managed to get out of it why dont they say on the web site when you look it the small control halti harness fits a cocker spaniel which it does
Halti harness Good buy
Brilliant, best harness we have found. Have tried a few different ones but Halti is definitely the best. Easy to put on and take off, seems to be comfortable . No complaints from JJ. Good control using a double ended lead and no pulling. We did buy a large size but the medium is a good fit for our 12month old Golden Retriever.
Excellent harness
Excellent harness. Great for our adventurous beagle. Bought in a size small. Originally purchased elsewhere in a medium but too big for our trim 13kg beagle.
He can’t get at it once it’s on to chew it. It works well with the halti two ended lead so one can attach on the chest and the other end on the back. It also works brilliantly with an extendable lead just on the back attachment. It fits him comfortably without being bulky like a lot of harnesses.
It has gone through the washing machine several times and is fine. The back attachment also lines up perfectly to go through the hole in his jacket in bad weather.
Easy to adjust, once you’ve put it on a couple of times it’s easy and quick to do. Adjustment it easy too while still on your pup. Just pop over his head, clip under his belly and attach the front clip to his collar. The extra security of the collar clip in addition to the belly clip is welcome. Great harness overall and excellent value compared to many others.
Massive improvement...
I’ve tried several solutions in trying to stop constant pulling from my pooch with varying success. Whilst this is still not perfect, as she does still pull a little, I found this to be the best choice for all round performance and likely the best I’m going to achieve. The pulling is greatly reduced, making a walk far more enjoyable. When she does pull, it isn’t with the same force as before and my arm doesn’t suffer as a result. A GL worked well initially, reducing the pulling massively, but that soon irritated her and made walking impossible whilst she kept trying to get it off her nose.
I haven’t had this one long enough to confirm the durability, but so far so good and would recommend giving it a go. It really does help!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
I cannot stress enough how fantastic this product is. I received yesterday and this morning trialled it with my 7 month old Jack Russell who pulls like an express train. After eyeing it with dubious reserve (him not me)! He soon settled to it. No pulling, easy to control left or right by flipping the lead over his shoulder. So much nicer than the original halti over the nose of years back. This product is a real winner in my opinion. I purchased the training lead to complete it also.
Buy with Halti head collar and training lead
I like this. It doesn’t completely stop pulling. It helps handle my husky’s strength. Combine this with the head collar and Halti training lead and ur in for a chance. All three together make the world of difference to my demon husky who pulls like a trai
it works!
Despite trying different approaches/treats my little Cocker Poo insists on steaming ahead of me but first time out with this harness she actually WALKED so well that my 5 year old grand daughter was able to walk her!! Only issue is with the sizing as despite her measurements fitting with the guide it is a little big on the neck even with it as tight as possible; this means that the front hangs low and the lead falls down and tends to tangle her front leg.
Grea
I bought this plus the lead of the same brand and it works really well for our 1 year old shepherd who is very excitable and pulls a lot. I normally struggled to walk her but this helps a lot ! Also very easy to put on.
Great value for money I think.
So far so good!
We have a very pully Springer Spaniel and we have tried absolutely everything, slip leads, choker collars, normal harnesses, halti head collars and nothing works! she either pulls until she’s sick or causes her self an injury trying to get something off her nose.
I was recommended this type of harness and was pretty sceptical but I’ve taken her on her first walk with it on and she’s like a different dog (and it doesn’t cause her discomfort like the other things we have tried).
I originally ordered the medium but it was HUGE!! even when it was tightened to the smallest it could go.
When the small arrived, I thought it would only fit a Guinea pig! but stretched out to the biggest it will go is the perfect fit (a little thinner than I’d like but so far so good!)
Instant improvement.
We bought this harness and matching double ended lead to put a stop to our new 6 month old Lurcher pulling on walks. I can honestly say that this combo worked instantly. He doesn’t try to pull anymore. Previously he would have been choking himself pulling on his lead and Martindale collar. The transformation was instant and brilliant. He is a pleasure to walk now. I fully recommend this harness.
Brilliant no-pull harness!
Bought this for my seven month old cavachon who pulls constantly on walks. I can’t believe the difference, he immediately stopped pulling and was much happier and calmer on the walk. My dog was really happy wearing it, and it seemed very comfortable for him. I’m thrilled with my purchase!
Great idea
This is amazing! I have a 3 yr old mini dachshund who used to pull so hard her feet would be sore so we couldn’t take her for long walks. On the first walk with this all sustained pulling has stopped I’ve added the “steady” command which she is now responding to. Before she was very stubborn and resistant to training. I couldn’t recommend this enough.
Clever design - Would recommend
This has been a God send for our excitable Labrador. It fits well and does a good job. Having the D ring on his chest gives better control rather than a pulling contest when ring is attached to harness on his back or collar on his neck. It’s kind and does not rub.
eed to attach it to a collar to work bette
had to order the smaller size for my dog which was thinner than the medium but it works well and stop him pulling as much
Miracle worke
Bought this wit the collar and lead – and now actually enjoy walking the dog !! Before it was not a happy experience as she pulled all the time! But with this harness and double lead – it really works and I am so happy as I had tried a lot of other ones which made no difference
Stopped German Sheperd pulling
We have a German Sheperd who was terrible on the lead. We tried using a halti head harness, which didn’t help at all. We ordered this as a final effort before hiring a trainer as nothing we did would help. But this did. It took her a bit to get used to it, but now she walks perfectly. And can’t pull too hard against the lead.
The only (minor) negative is that the buckles loosen during walks so they need re-tightening every so often.
Happy puppy, happy me!
Wonderful product, purchased for my collie puppy. Some more instructions on fitting and use would have been helpful but it has been brilliant. Pup turns one on Monday, he walks beautifully on his harness. I like that you can use it to indicate to him that he is to walk to heel or that he is free to sniff etc depending on which hook you use. It is easy to adjust and though it was a little loose when he was younger, it’s fit him well through his growth. It is easy to put on and take off too.
Success at last!
Just back from our first walk with the Halti harness attached. We have tried many others, including the nose Halti which he just ate.. But now an over boisterous beagle cross is finaly defeated and the walk was a complete joy. I even took the long way home! He is a changed doggo and might even make parole due to his newly found good behaviour!
I read reviews on sizing here first, and i nervously ordered a Small even though he’s more medium sized.. it fits perfectly with plenty scope to adjust if he gets any bigger or eats too much over Xmas. I dont have a double ended lead (yet) so just clipped his normal one on to the front. It still did the job amazingly well.
Really wish I’d bought this one first!
Well made and works well.
Size not quite right but small was much too small. Very good control. Bought to re-teach lead response for our collie.
Excellent produc
This harness works wonders – we have 2 springer spaniels that pull relentlessly on the lead. Since buying a Halti harness for each one, the difference is unbelievable. The dogs still pull, but the harnesses seem to spread the pressure more evenly around the body as opposed to just the neck / chest area……making it more comfortable for both dog & owner. I can now walk both dogs at the same time quite easily – almost impossible on normal leads !
