Hi,
I know these are supposed to be used as a temporary measure, as a training method, but what if they just never stop pulling on a normal lead or harness?
I have a 2 year old lab X cocker spaniel and boy, is she strong!! Taking her for a walk is more of a chore than a pleasure, as she pulls CONSTANTLY. She stops slightly when she's absolutely knackered, but it takes a lot for that to happen.
We tried a harness initially, which didn't work, so resorted to a halti. Whereas it was soooo much easier, I didn't like using it, because it would sometimes pull on her eye. Went back to a harness, but was pulling just the same. I've tried everything. Stopping when she pulls, carrying on when she stops etc, but no improvement. She's pure muscle and excitement!
I've now gone back to as halti and had one properly fitted, which seems to be more comfortable for her. The man in pets at home assured me that they're not cruel and sometimes, they're a permanent solution.
What are your thoughts?
TIA
