IMHO, halti's, and gentle leaders are no good to teach your dog. All they do is mask the problem. Of course no dog is going to pull when you have control of it's head, but as soon as you take it off, guess what? They pull. Harnesses are also designed for sled dogs so they encourage your dog to pull you around and you have no way of correcting them. The only collar I use is a martingale which is part choke and part material. They give a quick correction and release right away. They don't hurt the dog and is a very effective training tool. I never recommend halti's or gentle leaders as they are a waste of money. JMO.
