Nylon Dog Head Halter with Padded Nose Loop, Sizes S to XL

This is a head halter, not a muzzle. A nylon loop sits across the top of your dog's nose and a strap fastens high behind the ears; the leash clips to the ring under the chin. When your dog pulls ahead, the halter turns the head gently back toward you, which makes steady walking easier to teach. The nose loop is padded and it comes in four sizes, S to XL, in red, blue or orange.

Choose the size by measuring rather than by breed or weight. Measure the snout snugly just below the eyes and the neck high behind the ears, then pick the size where both measurements fall inside the chart. A good fit lets the loop slide off the nose only when you lift it forward, and leaves your dog free to open its mouth, pant and drink.

Most dogs paw at a head halter at first. Put it on for short spells indoors with treats before using it on a walk, keep the leash loose and never jerk it, because the halter acts on the head and neck. Use it only on walks and supervised training, not as a collar to leave on. Each halter weighs about 3.2 oz (90 g). Hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse well and let it air dry fully. One head halter comes in each order.
