Halter for dogs

To correct the behavior of a dog or to train it, the collar is most often used. It is believed that with a strong pull on the collar, the dog will feel uncomfortable and stop pulling the master behind it. However, there is another very useful device - a halter for dogs. Let's find out what it serves and how to use such an accessory.

Application of a halter for dogs

The halter consists of several sewn together straps. The bow strap has the appearance of a loop and connects to the neck with the help of strapping straps. In the properly selected halter, the straps near the cheeks closely fit the skin of the animal without pressing it.

The bow strap is located under the dog's eyes. In this case, it must be fixed so freely that between it and the dog's skin can easily pass the finger of the host. Covering the dog's nose, this strap is connected by a metal ring with a chin strap. Another ring connects the ends of the nose strap and a leash is attached to it. When pulling the leash, the ring on the chin strap, pressing against the jaw of the dog, does not allow the nose belt to be tightened very much and deliver pain to the animal. At the same time, the whole construction of the halter will be securely fixed and will not move to the side. Not for nothing because the British gave a halter one more name "soft driving".

You can use a halter for those dogs that are used to pulling the leash . However, you should know that the use of such equipment is not training and nothing the dog will not teach. If you put a collar on after him, the animal will again pull the leash, as before.

Use halter makes sense, if you need to take the dog to the vet, drive with her in public transport or just take her out for a walk in the yard. But if you need to tie a dog or let it go for a walk, the halter needs to be removed. > After all, if it hooks on an object with a halter, it will only be able to back off, but it will not be able to move forward.

The muzzle for dogs, in comparison with a halter, is arranged quite differently. In the halter the dog can raise something from the ground, and grab someone by the leg. The only purpose of the halter is to help with dog training. In it, the animal is much quicker than in the muzzle, it will understand what the "next" or "do not pull" command means.

The halter can be bought in the store, and you can do it yourself. As practice shows, it is not difficult to make a halter for a dog. To do this, you need to have two metal rings, two carbines, a two-meter-long strap tape and a buckle. After assembling the halter, be sure to fit it to the size of your dog.
