Can You Use Gentle Leaders/haltis On Whippets?

[lukkylady]

The whippet I took out of the pound can pull abit on the lead.

Because he had a bit of a cough going on, the pulling on the lead can make it worse

was thinking of a halti or gentle leader, can these be used on a whippet? and are they secure enough that they can wriggle out of it?

I've used a Gentle Leader on a Whippet and would say it's fine - I have a really strong pulling Whippet boy (who I could NOT walk without a headcollar on, he is very strong), who twisted a Gentle Leader about on his face and rubbed a bit, so now I use a Dogmatic head collar - costs about £17, £18 but it cannot be twisted about.

I bought mine over the internet from Dogmatic www.dogmatic.org.uk/ and got the padded synthetic one.

this make was recommended by friends who have German Shepherds and Clumber Spaniels and I would not be without my dogmatic collar :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Same here with my boys. The Halti was a godsend and neither use it now.
