12. Once you have achieved this, fit the HALTI and lead as previously described and go for a walk. After a few minutes, disconnect the lead from the HALTI and attach it back onto the first 'D' ring. Your dog is now walking on a collar alone but still has the physical effect of wearing the HALTI. 13. If he pulls, apply gentle pressure to the collar and hesitate, continuing once the lead is slack. Repeat as necessary. 14. If your dog consistently pulls, reconnect the lead to the HALTI and recommence the earlier training. 15. Once you are able to successfully walk your dog on the collar alone (with the HALTI still fitted), it is time to try without the Halti at all. This may be more successful if you first try it towards the end of the walk when your dog is naturally a little calmer. 16. If at any point the dog starts to pull, put the HALTI back on and continue the training as previously described. 17. Gradually you should be able to spend less time with the HALTI fitted, using the collar to control your dog. 18. You should always have the HALTI with you so that you can refit it at any time the dog reverts to pulling. 19. With practise, your dog will learn that pulling is an unsuccessful behaviour and learn to walk calmly beside you. 20. Gradually extend the training to more situations so that your dog learns to walk calmly in any environment.
