This is so helpful. No one takes the time to show how to do many of these techniques. As a new dog owner (now 3 years), I still have behavior to correct. I hope this helps our family.
After two years of being jerked, pulled and dragged by my 75 pound standard poodle, and MONTHS of reinforcment training that improved, but did not stop it, I bought a Halti head harness. It INSTANTLY stopped his pulling. He goes to the end of his leash and slows down as soon as he feels pressure from the collar. This has made the quality of my life and his infinitely better. I highly recommend this product. He likes me to put it on because he knows it means he gets a nice walk. He's smart, so it only took putting it on twice with a treat before he did it without resisting.
Thank you for this video!! The first time I tried to use a halti for my crazy cocker spaniel (following the absolutely rubbish training instructions on the packet), she totally freaked out. I felt terrible and was scared I would break the trust between us by using it further, but after following your technique, she is walking like an absolute dream after less than an hours work! Thank you!
yes, the black dog was brand new to the halti, so we were showing what you might expect with some dogs. The brown dog was conditioned to the halti previously. The halti requires patience to get the dog used to.
Thank you for this! We're working on training our recent adoption, but he is easily sidetracked by, well, everything, and is quite strong for his size. This is just what we were looking for!
I have a one year old, 120 pound Alaskan Malamute that has over the past year done everything he can to yank me and my wife around on walks. To the point where it was work to take him for what should be an enjoyable outdoor excursion. I just bought one of these halti collars and he's a different dog. Calmly walks besides me and changes direction when I do, no more fighting and pulling and it happened within 1 session, instantly.
thank you for showing examples of a dog that wasn’t use to it! i was a little upset when my pup kept trying to take it off but this video has helped a lot! thank you:)
My dog is a puuuuulller. She's only 8 months which is understandable, but not food motivated when excited and hard to train. Got this today and tried what you said for literally two minutes and she was already sticking her head through the loop before I could grab another treat for her. I'm so excited to be able to walk nicely with her, I thought it would take longer. I'm going to keep doing the training for 2 weeks before putting it on her fully and then only short walks for maybe a week or more depending on how she acts but this is great!:)
My friend and I have litter mates. We live thousands of miles from each other, but both dogs are so alike in character, even the way they sleep ! They are standard poodles; therefore, have the 'prey' oriented hunting instinct. Any little distraction and my dog pulls and barks and wants to get whatever it is...my dog's litter mate uses the Halti Collar and the results are short of miraculous ! I am getting one today...cannot wait to see if she has the same results. Thanks for such an informative, step-by-step introduction !
Even though it's not called a Halti anymore, this is a great video. (Now it's named: Costal's Walk 'n Train Head Halter). This is a great tool for people who own dogs that are much stronger than the human. You can help elderly people avoid falling if the dog lunges.
I have a hunter's red collar with an ID tag with phone number on. I keep it so loose that Eva can slip out if it if she gets hung up. Had a friend whose dog jumped over the porch rail and hung itself, it wont happen to Eva. She has never tried to pull out of it, even though she knows she can. I always slip it over her head when I take it off for bath time. Up unlit now I trained her to be my best friend and to be herself. Now that she has decided she's a personal protection dog, I feel I need to get more control over that so she won't get me sued. You guys are The One Stop Shop when it comes to dog training. And I have an easy dog to work with.😁👍
One of the packages I have seen recently,the halter was also called a soft collar. Probably because so little pressure is needed if done right. very helpful video. thank you
Thank you for this video... My dog does what the black dog did in the video.. good to know I have been doing the halti intro to my dog the right way.. :-)
This is all just fine and dandy if you have a large harness. My dog's one arrived today and it impossible for my hands to go through the nose part. I just put it on him and started feeding him treats and clicking like crazy lol.. He did OK and he is a Basenji. I left it on him five mins then took it off ill do it for a few days before taking him out.
I may try that with the harness . I forgot treating her. She does well just wiggles a lot but she has started putting her feet into it now. Will do the treats to see if that improves her..
Thanks. I like your videos, they are true and effective. I don't think you use any ecoller etc. to train. That's a big point. Just one question, is this coller required for puppies also or to train gown up dogs ?
I think this works good if used correctly. I saw a girl today with a young Black Lab in training to be a service dog. He was only about a year to 2 years old. I saw them earlier, so I know the Halti must have been on all day. The dog was whimpering and crying and trying to rub the Halti off off on her. She explained to me that he was mad at her for putting it on. I don't think she was doing it right. The dog seemed to never feel any release. Every time she stopped walking he would plop down at her feet and put his head down as if he was depressed and exhausted. I think it was the only way that he got out of the pressure. I work with horses and letting go of pressure at a good point is very important. With this young dog, I think he needed shorter intervals with the Halti on, and a lot more release when he was being good.
I adopted a dog from the SPCA and she had a terrible time with pulling on her martingale collar. Now, according to this, I put the Halti on her waaay too fast without conditioning her to it properly. She fought the halter a very little bit, but when we started to walk, she automatically went to a near perfect heel. It was almost an obedience ring quality performance. Is this a common thing or is it more likely that my dog has been exposed to the Halti before I had her?
How long would you say the head collar needs to be used until they no longer need it? Or is it something they’ll always need to use? I have a hound and we’re going to start using this because she is a terror on a leash.
Please please tell me what kind of dog she is ((the black one)) ??? Or rescue pup pierre, he looks so much like this, but smaller & we have no idea what he is other than somthing Shepard.....
The thing is when I put it on my pitbulls puppy and she wants to go a different way, she’ll back up and start thrashing her head and choking herself, it’s scary and very frustrating
We bought a halti a few days ago, my dog won’t even walk with it, he refuses to do anything in it and constantly drags his nose along the floor trying to get it off causing it to bleed, it’s so difficult and he won’t even work for treats or toys
I have a question, let's say a dog pulls and lunges and I decide to use a halti to stop the problem. Does this mean that I will have to use the halti for the rest of the dogs life. Surely the goal is to be able to walk a dog with a standard collar. Just a question I thought of.
This depends if you are relying only on the halti for training. For a more well-rounded approach I would suggest considering more complete instruction plans found on our website: k9-1.com
Lol that dog, who clearly is used to the halti, is thinking Christmas has come early with all those treats. I know of course she has just used this for training those who have never used their halti on a dog of course and their dog may be oversensitive to it, so it is overkill :-) When I used a halti on my dog for the first time, I just brushed the halti gently over his face a couple of times. That was enough. However I was assertive and calm when I placed it. I then waited a few minutes with it on at home before going out. If you are calm your dog is more likely not to feel threatened. I am all for dog treats, however I do think they are overused sometimes to overcompensate for our own lack of assertiveness and calm energy, which is the biggest influence on a dog's trust.
Once again the dog they always use for training is German Shepherd's. These dogs are one of the easiest and most attentive dogs to train. They pay very close attention to what you were asking. They love to work and they love to learn. That's when a dog has its head at the height of your waist it is so easy to walk and give them treats at the same time. Try bending over giving treats to a little dog while you're trying to walk they constantly want to jump up and get the food out of your hand. That bending over is a pain. Every training video I watch always uses a German Shepherd
The problem is my dog doesn't accept treats when shes outside because she wants to see anything even with her 4 years haha and she is very stubborn.. I tried haha... She's a Australian shepherd mix and 46 cm high.. I will sure try and work with it because she pulls often 👍👍👍😊😊😊thank you so much for the Tipps
The video does not address how long you can leave the collar on once the dog has been acustomized? Do you take it off after every walk? Or is it something that could be left on for 10 hours at a time to cover a day of walks and training?
You only leave it on for keeping your dog under control while walking. We would put it on inside the house, walk to car (long walkway), remove for car ride, put back on to go inside store (Lowes etc), remove again for ride home. For walks down the road/sidewalk/yard, remove when you return inside. *You must first train your dog to stay inside the car when you open the door though-an easy task for a doberman.
You should tell your dog off in a stern voice if they grab your hand and not give them the treat. What you want to do is to hand it to them slowly saying Gently, if your dog goes to grab the treat quickly you pull back and say NO and then try again till your dog slowly goes to take the treat. Essentially you only want to reinforce good behavior with a treat or simply a pat and praise.
I could not use the term get dressed because I would think im putting a dress on my dog..lol I may try one like "wear it" but I prefer one word commands myself.. Maybe just "wear"
I am dog sitting a 5 yr old large dog that hasn't been leash trained. He pulls horribly and I've almost been pulled over because it is icy now. I got the Halti and got him accustomed to it as instructed. We walked today with it for the first time and he was incredibly good. I'm sure we will do even better each day.
What I don't understand is why a halti collar is used at all. Any dog can be very well trained and still be triggered or react on leash, at which time they may lunge forward with a great deal of power and this will just cause the head to be cranked with a lot of force which isn't good on the dog's C-spine. I'd go with a Jim Hodges metal buckle martingale style collar also connected with a Herm Sprenger prong collar any day of the week over any collar of this style.
The potential for a neck injury is a drawback of the head halter-style collars. The pros and cons of all training collars should always be considered for each individual person and dog, which is why we always try to teach the safest way to use each type to respect personal preferences.
i have a question. what treat do u use? dog food or another type of treat? I m worried of the treats I use might get my dog fat? ps. my dog is not interested when I use his dog food as treats ;T
Prefer Halti over Prong as it doesn't hurt the dog which is always best. I am dog sitting a large 5 yr old dog for a month. He has not been leash trained and pulls horribly. I just got the Halti a few days ago, got him used to it and took him for our first walk today using the Halti. Incredible results. We went for 30 minutes and he behaved amazingly well. It is icy and dangerous to walk when he pulls. I have not owned a dog since I was a child and have never trained a dog. We are getting along famously. I will happily dog sit again if I can walk him without pulling.
My dog Dosent like a halti. We put it on her and she wouldn t start freaking out! We give her treats and everything but she wouldn t stop. The only thing that worked was choke chain. Choke chains won't do any damage as long as you use them properly :). I'm sure you know that since you're a great trainer! :D
DuckBot No. She Dosent like things on her face. We have tried that she will go around the haltie and try and get it. She won't put her mouth near it. Plus she heals now and is fine on leash thanks to the check chain. I think its better. I only use positive reinforce ment and don't use the check chain (you probably call it a choke chain) in a negative way. I do give her a quick correction (just a little tug) to put her back in focus and say good girl. When people say choke chain I'm like why would you want to choke your dog?! Its for corrections! Its safe if you use it properly and I think its very good and affective because without the haltie that dog would probably pull, where as when my dog toffee is fully trained (100%) She won't need it anymore and can walk like a normal dog.
Rahen Patel Show you will be a responsible dog owner. Wanting is not enough. Too many adults buy dogs for their kids without considering the responsibility and hard work. Which is one of the reasons rescue centres are full of dogs that are either abandoned or given up. That dog is for life and needs commitment. You show your dad you understand this by putting in a lot of hard work helping a friend, neighbour or family member with their dog.
I bought that for my dog, to try and have better control over her when on walks. After watching this video, I realize I was using it wrong, and may have traumatized my poor dog. This video is very helpful
What about a dog that can't be distracted by treats once walking? He is relentless and won't stop until he scratches it off. Everything else requiring desensitization works well but not once we are trying to walk. Thanks anyone.
+Caroline Henry Hey noticed you haven't got a reply! Speaking from experience, I often find that if there's a problem with the walk, there's a problem with your overall pack-relationship with your dog. What this means is that its a root problem with yourself not being the pack leader, as opposed to "he really just doesn't like the lead" (which could be the case but very slight). I'd recommend checking out Doggy Dan on theonlinedogtrainer.com/ You can apply for a 3 day $1 trial ;) I'd sign up and look through his "5 golden rules" on being the pack leader. With those in place - almost anything should be sweet!
No, it's not. Food rewards are the easiest, quickest, and most effective way to reinforce new behavior. Once the behavior is learned you fade the constant food rewards and replace with other "real life" reinforcement such as praise and play instead.
Why does it take so long to desensitise the dog? I have seen babies wear CPAP devices and it is awful for the baby but eventually it gets used to it. It has no choice and It is necessary to save the baby’s life rather than just to help us enjoy our walk. I wonder if devices similar to these were used on American plantations in the not too distant past. Why do we have to subdue such a beautiful beast just for our own satisfaction and that awful patronising voice “Good Boyyyy…” like it’s a human child. It is not an infant human. It is a species in its own right.The whole dog pet industry including all that indescribable processed dog food is cruel and rotten and panders to human desires of selfishness. Respect the Dog.
Just put the collar on the dog its easier however also makes it more safe the dog could get caught so you putting it on ensures its going on correctly thats my view on the matter. I noticed the person in the video made the dog do all the work by giving it treats thats particularly good way but not something i personally recommend just for the command.
This is so helpful. No one takes the time to show how to do many of these techniques. As a new dog owner (now 3 years), I still have behavior to correct. I hope this helps our family.

Savana Moore so you have not taught the dog to heel no wonder he pulls he thinks hes in charge also propably needs more exersise
@@azote2039 You are assuming, maybe you should ask whether that person did teach their dog to heel and whether their dog did or did not get exercise.
@@azote2039Idiot

Wow, one clear example of how to start using this collar. Thanks! Thumbs up

Great video Mike and gang. Fair and balanced as always.
works great no more pulling . My dog is 80 lbs and he can pull before halti needed 2 hands to hold him now 1 finger is all I need .
Even though it's not called a Halti anymore, this is a great video. (Now it's named: Costal's Walk 'n Train Head Halter). This is a great tool for people who own dogs that are much stronger than the human. You can help elderly people avoid falling if the dog lunges.
got a new one yesterday and it's called a HALTI has name on it
Yes it is a Halti says it right on the side, there are different versions to get the original you get a Halti
Curiosity overwhelms me what kind of kibble do you use when training?
I have a hunter's red collar with an ID tag with phone number on. I keep it so loose that Eva can slip out if it if she gets hung up.
Had a friend whose dog jumped over the porch rail and hung itself, it wont happen to Eva. She has never tried to pull out of it, even though she knows she can. I always slip it over her head when I take it off for bath time. Up unlit now I trained her to be my best friend and to be herself.
Now that she has decided she's a personal protection dog, I feel I need to get more control over that so she won't get me sued.

Beautiful dog and I'm excited to try using the Halti
Thank you for this video... My dog does what the black dog did in the video.. good to know I have been doing the halti intro to my dog the right way.. :-)
This is all just fine and dandy if you have a large harness. My dog's one arrived today and it impossible for my hands to go through the nose part. I just put it on him and started feeding him treats and clicking like crazy lol.. He did OK and he is a Basenji. I left it on him five mins then took it off ill do it for a few days before taking him out.
I may try that with the harness . I forgot treating her. She does well just wiggles a lot but she has started putting her feet into it now. Will do the treats to see if that improves her..
Thank you 👍
Thanks. I like your videos, they are true and effective. I don't think you use any ecoller etc. to train. That's a big point. Just one question, is this coller required for puppies also or to train gown up dogs ?
very helpful. thank you!
I think this works good if used correctly. I saw a girl today with a young Black Lab in training to be a service dog. He was only about a year to 2 years old. I saw them earlier, so I know the Halti must have been on all day. The dog was whimpering and crying and trying to rub the Halti off off on her. She explained to me that he was mad at her for putting it on. I don't think she was doing it right. The dog seemed to never feel any release.

I work with horses and letting go of pressure at a good point is very important. With this young dog, I think he needed shorter intervals with the Halti on, and a lot more release when he was being good.
No.
No, service dogs are just taught to stop when you stop. He probably was just getting used to it.
I adopted a dog from the SPCA and she had a terrible time with pulling on her martingale collar. Now, according to this, I put the Halti on her waaay too fast without conditioning her to it properly. She fought the halter a very little bit, but when we started to walk, she automatically went to a near perfect heel. It was almost an obedience ring quality performance. Is this a common thing or is it more likely that my dog has been exposed to the Halti before I had her?
love the accent. the collar was pretty cool too.
Hi there great video! Can you tell me the breed of the brown dog? Shepherd cross maybe? He's beautiful.
Simple way n very nice way 👍
Muzzle up also works if its muzzle trained as well
I love your lessons they are clear and simple but may I know what is the breed or the mix of the first dog In the video is he a black mouth cur?
How long would you say the head collar needs to be used until they no longer need it? Or is it something they’ll always need to use? I have a hound and we’re going to start using this because she is a terror on a leash.
Whats the reward for your dog?
How should I Encourage؟
My dog grinds his teeth with it, we have tried several different types, training and he has been wearing it for 7 months. Any advice?
wow! That Shepherd is a BIG girl.
I like hat you showed it with a dog that wasn’t used to wearing it
once the dog is use to the halti can we keep it on him 24/7 until he learns not to pull
The dog you are training looks exactly like my boy Bosco! What breed is he?
German Shepherd Dog
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
Please please tell me what kind of dog she is ((the black one)) ??? Or rescue pup pierre, he looks so much like this, but smaller & we have no idea what he is other than somthing Shepard.....
The thing is when I put it on my pitbulls puppy and she wants to go a different way, she’ll back up and start thrashing her head and choking herself, it’s scary and very frustrating
Does desensitizing happen in one day or do I take two days?
We bought a halti a few days ago, my dog won’t even walk with it, he refuses to do anything in it and constantly drags his nose along the floor trying to get it off causing it to bleed, it’s so difficult and he won’t even work for treats or toys
at what age of the dog should/could you begin training him/her?
What was the black dog?
I have a question, let's say a dog pulls and lunges and I decide to use a halti to stop the problem. Does this mean that I will have to use the halti for the rest of the dogs life. Surely the goal is to be able to walk a dog with a standard collar. Just a question I thought of.
This depends if you are relying only on the halti for training. For a more well-rounded approach I would suggest considering more complete instruction plans found on our website: k9-1.com
What kind of dog is Dawson? He looks just like my dog who was a rescue. All I’m told is the mom was a black lab
Lol that dog, who clearly is used to the halti, is thinking Christmas has come early with all those treats. I know of course she has just used this for training those who have never used their halti on a dog of course and their dog may be oversensitive to it, so it is overkill :-)

She's a Australian shepherd mix and 46 cm high.. I will sure try and work with it because she pulls often 👍👍👍😊😊😊thank you so much for the Tipps
Can i put the halti collar saftey on my dogs vest
She has a d ring on the bottom of the vest for a leash
can I connect the halti to a harness instead of a collar?
+Stacy Lease Yup!
Hello what kind of dog is Sam’s
Can i know what the food are you using
What if you are using a clicker like I have been doing how does the Good boy come in he has been clicker trained.
Just use your clicker instead of the good boy
what dog is he? i have a dog and looks like him but i think mine is mixed.
Can these be used with a French bulldog?
The video does not address how long you can leave the collar on once the dog has been acustomized? Do you take it off after every walk? Or is it something that could be left on for 10 hours at a time to cover a day of walks and training?

Better still don't use NO. say LEAVE.
NO is if they not allowed to have it.
LEAVE is you allowed to have it later.
Amazing amazing
I could not use the term get dressed because I would think im putting a dress on my dog..lol I may try one like "wear it" but I prefer one word commands myself.. Maybe just "wear"
Oh good for you.
He"ll yeah‼️🙂🙂
My dog's GSD 1.8 years now can he be trained as u are teaching
I am dog sitting a 5 yr old large dog that hasn't been leash trained. He pulls horribly and I've almost been pulled over because it is icy now. I got the Halti and got him accustomed to it as instructed. We walked today with it for the first time and he was incredibly good. I'm sure we will do even better each day.
What I don't understand is why a halti collar is used at all. Any dog can be very well trained and still be triggered or react on leash, at which time they may lunge forward with a great deal of power and this will just cause the head to be cranked with a lot of force which isn't good on the dog's C-spine. I'd go with a Jim Hodges metal buckle martingale style collar also connected with a Herm Sprenger prong collar any day of the week over any collar of this style.

i have a question. what treat do u use? dog food or another type of treat? I m worried of the treats I use might get my dog fat? ps. my dog is not interested when I use his dog food as treats ;T
I am using Full Life mini dog training treats in Bacon flavour. They are only 1.5 calories per treat.
What does the Halti do exactly? :') I'm kind of confused.
Prevents them from pulling too much and makes them more controlled and calm
What kind of breed is the dog? He looks just like my rescue puppy which is a mix.
+891alonso looks a lot like mine too- also a rescue
+891alonso I'm pretty sure it's a German Shepherd =)
Just bought one for my lab pup... he not a fan... he tryed chewing the safety strap... is using double better or a normal one?
What breed is this dog?
*Halti collar, gentle leader etc...martingales can be left on longer if they're comfortable
Halti versus prong? When do you use which one?
Prefer Halti over Prong as it doesn't hurt the dog which is always best. I am dog sitting a large 5 yr old dog for a month. He has not been leash trained and pulls horribly. I just got the Halti a few days ago, got him used to it and took him for our first walk today using the Halti. Incredible results. We went for 30 minutes and he behaved amazingly well. It is icy and dangerous to walk when he pulls.
I have not owned a dog since I was a child and have never trained a dog. We are getting along famously. I will happily dog sit again if I can walk him without pulling.
My dog Dosent like a halti. We put it on her and she wouldn t start freaking out! We give her treats and everything but she wouldn t stop. The only thing that worked was choke chain. Choke chains won't do any damage as long as you use them properly :). I'm sure you know that since you're a great trainer! :D
Muddy Pawz you’re probably going way too fast. First, work on actually having them putting it on themselves, like it’s shown in the video.
DuckBot No. She Dosent like things on her face. We have tried that she will go around the haltie and try and get it. She won't put her mouth near it. Plus she heals now and is fine on leash thanks to the check chain. I think its better. I only use positive reinforce ment and don't use the check chain (you probably call it a choke chain) in a negative way. I do give her a quick correction (just a little tug) to put her back in focus and say good girl. When people say choke chain I'm like why would you want to choke your dog?! Its for corrections! Its safe if you use it properly and I think its very good and affective because without the haltie that dog would probably pull, where as when my dog toffee is fully trained (100%) She won't need it anymore and can walk like a normal dog.
Muddy Pawz ah okay. Well, you use whatever works for you and you use it properly. Happy training!
DuckBot Thanks :) ✌🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I think the black dog is not ready yet for a walk, am I wrong?

I have a dog that looks just like him, same floppy ears and all.
Cool
How do I convince my dad that I want a dog plz help
You cant convince someone to get something unless you deserve it.
Rahen Patel Show you will be a responsible dog owner. Wanting is not enough. Too many adults buy dogs for their kids without considering the responsibility and hard work. Which is one of the reasons rescue centres are full of dogs that are either abandoned or given up. That dog is for life and needs commitment. You show your dad you understand this by putting in a lot of hard work helping a friend, neighbour or family member with their dog.
I bought that for my dog, to try and have better control over her when on walks. After watching this video, I realize I was using it wrong, and may have traumatized my poor dog. This video is very helpful
my dog let me put any collar on. as long i take him for a walk he don't care what he wear. my dog is easy to look after.
any harness or collar should be taken off once they get home or are in an area where its safe to be taken off leash (not dog parks).
I love you too I love you
Slips right off my dogs nose
What about a dog that can't be distracted by treats once walking? He is relentless and won't stop until he scratches it off. Everything else requiring desensitization works well but not once we are trying to walk. Thanks anyone.

Hey noticed you haven't got a reply!
Speaking from experience, I often find that if there's a problem with the walk, there's a problem with your overall pack-relationship with your dog. What this means is that its a root problem with yourself not being the pack leader, as opposed to "he really just doesn't like the lead" (which could be the case but very slight).
I'd recommend checking out Doggy Dan on theonlinedogtrainer.com/
You can apply for a 3 day $1 trial ;)
I'd sign up and look through his "5 golden rules" on being the pack leader. With those in place - almost anything should be sweet!
She’s so cute 😍

Tooooooo mannny treaaaaaaaats!!!
Reanna Miller, well time to buy hundreds of dog treats cuz we're gonna be busy😄
there only small treats
No, it's not. Food rewards are the easiest, quickest, and most effective way to reinforce new behavior. Once the behavior is learned you fade the constant food rewards and replace with other "real life" reinforcement such as praise and play instead.
Why does it take so long to desensitise the dog? I have seen babies wear CPAP devices and it is awful for the baby but eventually it gets used to it. It has no choice and It is necessary to save the baby’s life rather than just to help us enjoy our walk. I wonder if devices similar to these were used on American plantations in the not too distant past. Why do we have to subdue such a beautiful beast just for our own satisfaction and that awful patronising voice “Good Boyyyy…” like it’s a human child. It is not an infant human. It is a species in its own right.The whole dog pet industry including all that indescribable processed dog food is cruel and rotten and panders to human desires of selfishness. Respect the Dog.
can you mind take a vedio to me?
so much food... OMG!!!!
AnneB27, well time to buy hundreds of dog treats cuz we're gonna be busy!😄
Just put the collar on the dog its easier however also makes it more safe the dog could get caught so you putting it on ensures its going on correctly thats my view on the matter.
I noticed the person in the video made the dog do all the work by giving it treats thats particularly good way but not something i personally recommend just for the command.
yum! Meat!
Ohhhh wawwww u r soooo cuteee
aauauaau
