Has anyone ever heard of Master Control head collar for dogs by brand Karlie?
I have recently purchased this brand of head collar in switzerland but can not seem to find any reviews for it online. It is basically the exact same design as the Halti brand collars but i would like to hear personal experiences with them if possible.
I have bought this in attempt to prevent my dog from strangling herself. And its not that i haven`t tried to train her i live on an island and expert advice/ classes are not available. She is a very loving and well behaved dog but when she gets on the lead, she has sooooooo much energy and gets all jittery. She loves to run but i would so prefer if she would stop choking herself and walk slowly.
In the shop i bought this head collar i also saw the halti but bought this without being informed. I am currently in Europe and will not be able to test it on my dog until end of august. The master control head collar looks sturdy but i am afraid that there is not enough padding on the snout part and it will hurt my dog. Does anyone know if the halti is better than this brand so i can purchase it before i return home….
I appreciate any responses and i have tried to train her i still do try I just believe this will put me in a better possition to help her learn properly. I am not looking for a quick fix but merely a simplifier which will make it easier and more effective…..
I’ve used a Halti (actually also bought in Switzerland when I lived there) on a rescue dog I was training and it did not have any padding.
Karlie is supposed to be an okay brand, so if I were you, I’d definitely give it a try. Remember the Halti and similar head halters should be used as a training device only, so combine it with active training and use it only to control the dog – not hold it (I used to have a second, shorter leash attached to the dog’s harness so that if he would suddenly lunge or jerk the leash, the harness would hold him and not the Halti.)
Good luck with your dog.
To be honest, I don’t use haltis or another type of collar other than the buckle collar – but here is a suggestion:
When out on a walk, everytime she starts to pull, stop moving and tell her “come” or “with me”. She needs to come into a heel position by your side before you start moving again. When she does heel properly, give her lots of praise and start moving again. If she starts to pull again stop again and repeat – this can make a 30 min walk a full hour, but she will eventually learn that she doesn’t get to go forward unless she is not pulling.
