HALTI Front Control Dog Harness – Black & Red

How to fit and get started with the Halti Front Control Harness

Step 1: To select the right size Halti Front Control Harness for your dog, we always recommend measuring your dog’s chest and then referring to our sizing guides. More details about how to measure your dog can also be found on our sizing guides.

To fit the Halti Front Control Harness on your dog, undo the clip on the red chest strap and using a treat lure your dog’s head through the neck hole to begin with and place the red chest strap over your dog’s head, ensuring that the control ring sits on top of your dog’s back. Bring the other end of the strap underneath your dog’s chest and connect to the clip.

Step 2: Use the 5 slides to adjust the fit of the dog harness. You should be able to get 1-2 fingers between the straps and your dog’s body and the front strap should sit halfway down the dog’s chest.

Step 3: Attach the safety link to the D ring on your dog’s collar. The safety link should be able to reach the d-ring on your dog’s collar comfortably.

Step 4: We always recommend using a Halti double clip Training Lead for the best no-pull training experience. Attach the small clip on your lead to the front control ring on the dog harness and the larger clip to the back ring of the dog harness.

Step 5: Take your dog to a quiet place and whilst holding your lead in both hands practice walking around using the dog harness. You should only engage the harness by gently pulling on the lead connected the front control ring when your dog is actually pulling. Continue to reward your dog when they are walking without pulling.
