Nice to know it's not just my Weimeraner that's like that!

Walks OK with me on lead, but is in fact tons better off lead walking to heel; I think she does it on purpose.

Oddly walks beautifully for my 5 year old son, but everyone else needs to use the Halti.
...and mine. Halti worked for about ten mins untill he worked out that if he got the lead in his mouth he could pull as hard as he liked. I don'tlike to think about the hours I've wasted on the stoping and turning around techniques.
The Burmese cross I grew up with quickly worked out to turn her head to face you as the halti pulled & it'd slip off her nose.

We walk our Staffy on a harness a lot of the time, she doesn't pull in it & behaves. Walk her on a collar & although often ok, some days she just pulls & pulls until she's coughing for ages after the walk which can't be good for her.
