Dog Head Collars

Dog Head Collars/Halters for Gentle, Effective Control

Struggling with a dog that pulls or lunges on walks? A head collar (also known as a head halter) gives you more control by gently guiding your dog’s head, redirecting their attention and reducing pulling without force. Unlike traditional collars or harnesses, head collars fit around your dog’s head and muzzle, giving you gentle but effective control during training or daily walks.

Head collars are ideal for:

• Large or strong dogs – Especially helpful for dogs that pull or are difficult to manage on a standard lead.
• Training and behaviour correction – Supports positive reinforcement by helping you redirect attention during distractions.
• Dogs prone to lunging or jumping – A great alternative to harnesses for dogs who need head guidance.

It's important to choose the right size and adjust the head collar correctly to avoid discomfort. When introduced slowly and used with positive reinforcement, most dogs adapt quickly and walk more calmly. At The Vet Shed, we stock trusted brands like Halti and Gentle Leader, known for their comfortable fit, effective design, and trainer-approved results.

Note: Head collars may not be suitable for every dog. Always supervise your dog when first introducing a head collar and consider professional training support if needed.
