Comfort Trainer Head Halter

The Cadillac of head halters. Comfort Trainer is constructed of soft, braided nylon that conforms to the dog's face and doesn't ride into the eyes like other head collar products. There's no need for a clamp under the dog's chin to keep the noseband in place, therefore the dog doesn't feel as though being constantly punished as is the case with Gentle Leader, Holt, Walk N Train and BeHave head halters. As the buckle tongue goes directly into the material of the strap behind the ears, it never slips loose like the Halti. It's also easy to apply, unlike the Snoot Loop.

Great article by Dr. Sophia Yin regarding using head halters.

This new Designer Dog Series™ edition on the Labradoodle benefits from the expertise of author and professional dog trainer Miriam Fields-Babineau and the color images of world-renowned dog photographer Mary Bloom.
