[quote=Anonymous]Make sure your GL or Halti is fitted properly. Sometimes, one halter fits better than the other. Don't just slap one on the dog and go; I know of no dogs that tolerate it off-hand, and if the dog is trying to get it off their face, it will cause more damage. So, slowly introduce the halter, with positive reinforcement (the really good stuff, like cheese or hot dogs). Do not EVER use it with a longer leash. 6' max. There is nothing wrong with using a properly fitted prong, either. Use small prongs; micro might be even better (regardless of the size of the dog). The fit is really important, and your prongs must sit right behind the ear, not down on the neck. You do not correct the dog on it; the dog should self correct. ALWAYS back the dog up onto a non-slip collar. Under the right set of circumstances, the prong can pop open, leaving you with a loose dog, otherwise.[/quote]
