Your
control over him may determine whether you can safely walk him
around the neighborhood; can you
control him if he decides to put a yappy loose
dog in its place?
The head collar for
dogs has two basic parts — the collar that fits snugly
around the
dog's neck just in back of his ears, and the face loop that fits loosely
over his muzzle and allows complete and gentle
control of the head.
In my experience, these types of leashes a.) tend to cause
dogs to act more aggressively and to pull hard on the leash; b.) are more likely to trigger a fight with another
dog since the
dog that is straining at the end of the leash looks like it is in attack mode; c.) tend to be purchased by lazy and irresponsible
dog owners who do not train their
dogs to obey, and who tend to spoil their
dogs, causing more aggression and bratty behavior; d.) undo most of the important aspects of your obedience training and leadership
over your
dog, especially obeying
around distractions and coming when called, and
over time they teach your
dog to charge after other
dogs, animals and even people; e.) are hard to
control once the
dog is at the end of the line, and can get caught in the leashes of other
dogs, increasing the potential for a biting or attack incident; f.) do NOT cause the
dog to get more exercise on the walk; g.) can cause a
dog to run away from you, because if you accidentally drop the leash handle, many
dogs will run from the plastic handle «chasing» them from behind and that could cause your
dog to run into traffic and die; h.) have resulted in injuries to
dogs and owners.
