Troubleshooting
At first, your dog may object to wearing the Halti. Here are some
hints on how to make the process more fun for your dog.
•
Show him the Halti and allow him to sniff it and see that it is
nothing to be scared of.
•
To fit the Halti, give the dog some titbits with
your hand through the body of the Halti.
•
Slide the Halti over your hand onto his nose.
•
Allow your dog to wear the Halti for a few
minutes distracting, him with treats or play.
•
Attach the lead. If the dog attempts to drop his
head to paw at the Halti, hold a titbit to keep his
head in the air.
General principles of dog training
Walking To Heel
Attach a long lead to the Halti, if your dog begins to walk ahead
of you, transfer a gentle tug and this initiates a
heel response.
As your dog slows down, overtake him and
when your knees are passed his head; praise
him with "heel". If your dog is pulling, step
to one side and turn him sideways, even
in a complete circle so he stays at the heel
position.
