Comment on Should we get the kids a puppy for Christmas? by abused pets

Hi, I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read earlier. I am still pondering over the opposite points of view, but I’m leaning to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so great about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas online.

Hi, it’s really fortunate that I stumbled upon your website. this is the 1st article I read, and I already find it informative. I have a few questions which I hope you could help me out. I am really new in dog care.. I thought I would never really even bother to take care of a dog…until my hubby bought a shih-tzu dog for our kids…it got sick, and I really was so worried…the rest is history, so they say. I am now a certified dog lover who does research to improve and to gain more knowledge on dogs.

Comment on Head Halters: Gentle Leader vs. Halti by pawsitivedog

Hi Mary Ann,

You may use the Halti as long as you feel it is necessary. Ideally, you will eventually try to wean your dog off of it, but she is still young and there may always be situations where that bit of extra control comes in handy. If she is relaxed and comfortable wearing it, that can also help her relax in those challenging situations. It becomes valuable to her as well as to you. I wouldn’t rush to get her off of it. Used correctly (and preferably with a double ended leash), it is safe for long-term use.

I’ve been using a halti on my 1 year old Kelpie, she is adjusting, and training is going well. How long should one use a halti? Is it meant to be used just for the training period? This puppy is very spirited, my concern is, can it hurt their sinuses? I have a proper fitting one that gives complete freedom in the mouth area etc. I notice that she snorts sometimes when she pulls.
Please give me the scoop!
Thank you.

There is so much dog information online, it is hard to know who to trust. At least you know what you are talking about.
