{"product_id":"ancol-nylon-dog-training-halter","title":"Ancol Nylon Dog Training Halter – Head Collar to Stop Pulling","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnjoy calmer, more relaxing walks with the Ancol Nylon Dog Training Halter. This gentle head collar gives you steering control over a dog that pulls: when they lunge forward, the halter simply turns their head to the side, taking the momentum out of the pull without choking or hurting them — so you can guide their attention back to you. It's a kind, effective way to take the strain out of walks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose loop has a sliding keeper for a snug, comfortable fit, while the head loop has an adjuster buckle for security and a quick-release buckle for fuss-free on and off — handy for dogs still getting used to wearing a halter. A metal O-ring takes your lead, and the included safety link clips to your dog's collar so you stay in control even if they manage to slip the halter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade from strong, weatherproof nylon that's smooth and flexible against the coat, it's built to last walk after walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e a head halter is a training and control aid, not a muzzle — your dog can still pant, drink, eat and carry toys while wearing it.
