head collar

[hippychickuk]

i told hubby about the gencon i tried on pappy.. and the other day he said he was getting one, i assumed he had ordered a gencon of the internet..
well..... i got in today and he said he had got one.. from pah. i said, i didnt think they sold them in there.. when he showed me what he had got... its not a gencon.. he got a headcollar!! are head collars any good?? i cant even get pappy to wear it though.. he does not like it at all. yet he was ok when i put the gencon on him

[Beki]

What one is it?

[hippychickuk]

on the packet it just says halti head collar

[Bonniesmummy]

This is what Bonnie uses but TBH I dont like it much, its the fitting that I dont like ... it does stop her pulling though

[Otto 's Mutter]

Otto has one. He sulks when it goes on but soon forgets about it

It works really well. It's not really that he pulls that much on walks but for when he sees a cat before I have seen it and tries to go after it. Without it I struggle with him but with it I can control him

[Stuart]

I have tried them too,.. but I dont like them, they dont fit well at all,.. I know dogs dont always like head collars of any sort at first,.. but I have found the Gencon to be far less rebeled against than the others

Head collars generaly dont work in the same way as Gencons do anyway

Diesel had a halti and it never fitted very well at all.....x

i thought the same thing about the fitting.. when my oh used it this morning, before he even got out of our garden, pappy had slipped out of it

Halti needs to be tight around the back of the dog's head, behind the ears. Gencons, haltis are all headcollars and work similarly to control the head.

The only difference with the gencon (all in one version) is there's a lead built in, and the correction is from the side, not underneath.

Train the dog to walk nicely on a normal collar and you won't need these gadgets, mostly.. I use gencon for vet visits to stop any sudden lunge for 'prey' in the waiting room

I personally dont like the gencon as it rubbed on Sully's jowels (sp?) and left them sore, also he just pulled into it to the extent that he was started to have trouble breathing. I find the halti much better on him but this is just what happened to us
