[nagdu] corrections with the Halti

[Tami Jarvis]

Danielle,

Jerking on the head collar can cause permanent painful, even crippling, 
injuries to the dog. Even regular pulling on it can cause soft tissue 
damage. I use a head collar to keep track of my dog's nose and head 
movements, but at most I will give a gentle pull as a reminder not to 
sniff, and then only rarely. I may twitch my little finger, which I have 
the leash looped over, to get the dog's attention, but that's about it.

Perhaps the field rep needs to be educated about this particular tool?

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?
