Review on Coastal Pet - Walk 'n Train - Dog Head Halter - Black - Small - Size 1: Optimal Training Tool for Dogs by Amber Olson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great control but dog doesn't like it

I bought this for my two dogs. One dog even hated it after extensive training to get used to it. I finally gave in when he wore it to the beach and got conjunctivitis from rubbing his face in the sand so much. Poor guy. My other bitch has settled in better and it's been great for her while we work on making her less reactive on walks. Pros - great control over my dog's head and will withstand a lot of wear and tear. Walking became much more comfortable for me than before. It doesn't ride up or get in the dog's eyes like some products. Cons: My dog tolerates this but doesn't like wearing it. She runs away when I take it out, but once it's on she's happy with her outing. Seems to pinch my dog every now and then I think on the chin. She will walk happily 99% of the time, occasionally suddenly rolling face down on the ground and trying to get up. Also her leash came off the halter several times, I don't know how it happened but I think the latch on the leash caught on one of the parts of the halter causing it to come loose. It was when she just walked and didn't try to get out of the harness or anything. I need to find a safer leash. It happened twice in about 1 year. Another thing I don't like is that the part of the halter that goes around her neck is quite tight and the adjustment of the straps doesn't make a difference. She has an elongated face shape (Dobie/Borzoi type).

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Secret
