We received this message from Arizona Desert Dogs trainer, Kelsea Stafford-Louisiana:
"I run a rehabilitation and training center in Arizona for dogs and their people. I have been working with clients with disabilities within the last year and Gentle Leaders, Haltis, the dog quickly figure out how to take them off, or the clips break, they roll into the eyes, and one was cut clean off by the corner of a desk. I was at a loss for my clients who had those bigger energetic puppies that could pull them down or out of their wheel chair on accident.
"It was one of my Shikoku group in Washington that told me about the NewTrix dog halter. I bought 4 for sizing purposes and to use on different dogs and they are absolutely amazing. The safety clip, the fleece nose padding, the two clipping points, allow me to intro the dogs to them without them escaping or slipping out, or removing the nose piece. I can also clip a duel coupler to both the chin point and the back of the head point for my more frail clients and the dogs respond with very little tension.
"I would say the only thing is teaching the people how to put it on and off. Lol! I get many distressed calls and texts asking me how to put it back on again.
"I have even used the xsmall on one of our multiple bite cases who was dog reactive and easily reactive toward any high stimulus, and just being able to move his head away from what he is fixated on with one finger made it more efficient for training rather then him just being dragged away while still fixated. It’s also easy to give them treats for the behaviors that I want. All around I am going to be a continued client because your product is great."
Thanks Kelsea! Keep up the great work!
