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.

Click and Easy: Clicker Training for Dogs

Your reward is a well-behaved dog!

Young and old, large and small, pedigreed and mixed-breed, dogs respond to clicker training. Preferred by many professionals, clicker training is a positive, precise, and effective method of reinforcing good behavior.

* Distraction-proof your dog, teaching him to focus on you (and the clicker) even when there's lots of commotion

The cover of this book features my dog, Peaches, wearing the first head halter for dogs, The K9 Kumalong created by Dr. Alice DeGroot, DVM who wrote the forward of this book. This is the first book ever to discuss how to use a head halter (collar) when training a dog.

There is no other book on the market that will offer the detail of head halter usage as Dog Training with a Head Halter. A must read for both professional trainers who use head halters and dog owners who want to gain better communication with their dogs.
