Advice on Headcollar or Harness please.

[mirren3]

Our Labrador is great off lead and has good recall, however he occasionally will pull quite hard on the lead if another dog is approaching. I was advised to try a Headcollar or Harness, having looked I'm confused by the range, can anyone recommend one they use? Thanks

We have this one for our collie.
It doesn't cause her discomfort ( as opposed to the Halti). I don't leave it on when she runs around, I just use it with the lead.

Harnesses are pretty much plug and play, headcollars take about a week or so of training to get them happy to wear them and some dogs intensely dislike them.

Harnesses that have a front clip for the lead are best for pullers.

Headcollars - dogmatic and the kumfi dogalter are the two I know of that usually fit comfortably and don't work by tightening, they just sit on their head like horses headcollars.

I find harnesses are better for just general pulling a bit hard and headcollars are better for full on lunging at things type pulling...or if you need to have head control if they're dog aggressive.

Thanks, was thinking about the harness more than the headcollar. I've got a better idea now.
