Considering the different positive loose leash walking training aids on the market; head collars are probably my least favorite because most dogs genuinely dislike them and there is great potential for misuse.

That said, there are circumstances where a head collar is not only necessary, but the most humane tool an owner can use. If you are physically unable to control your dog while he is being trained, if there is any danger that your dog could pull you into the street, or if your dog could cause you to fall; a head collar may be the right tool for you. I often recommend head collars to seniors who own large breed dogs and to people with disabilities who simply do not have the strength to handle any dog larger than 10 lbs.

This video has the Delightful Dog method of desensitizing a head collar. I have taught this method to several of my senior , arthritic, and disabled clients. It is a fool-proof way of helping your dog to love his head collar.

Good luck and enjoy!
