:)Hope you don't mind me jumping in on someone elses thread but I have a question about the different types of leads/collars etc. If you train a dog using a Halti, will the dog always need it for walking on a loose lead or can you change to a normal collar when the dog is trained?
I was fed up with Morgan pulling and saw someone with an elasticated type of harness and asked my vet about them. He warned me off buying one, saying that I'd be 'making a rod for my own back' - that Morgan would have freedom to pull in comfort and he'd never learn to walk properly :-. I know that different things work for different people and that these things must work for some people otherwise they wouldn't be selling.
The instructor at Morgan's training class has recommended using a check chain or a half check collar during the classes for those dogs who do not walk on a loose lead. If any I'd go for the half check, but am not totally sure if I should try either.
What do you all use for training purposes? All advice and experiences welcomed!
