[nagdu] corrections with the Halti

[Julie J.]

Did the trainer explain exactly what he/she meant by this?  There are 
corrections and then there are corrections.    You can correct a dog in a 
Gentle Leader, but it isn't a quick jerk of the leash, it's an even pull 
sort of motion.   I suppose you could call it a correction, even though 
generally when we talk about corrections and dogs people generally mean the 
old fashioned leash pop.  Maybe it's just a different interpretation of the 
word *correction*.

If the trainer actually meant a leash pop sort of motion like what is used 
with a chain collar, then I think I'd get a second opinion.

>From everything I have read, I thought that corrections should not be given 
with the Halti because it could cause serious injury to the dogs neck. Well, 
I had a visit from a field rep today who told me I should give leash 
corrections with the Halti for dog distractions. This doesn't make sense to 
me... Any thoughts?
