Black Dog Wear Haltermate

This is the 2nd haltermate I have purchased for my Neopolitan Mastiff. We both love it. He walks perfectly with it. I have never had a problem with either of the halters. The halter is a great aid in training as well. Being a 75kg dog, I need all the help I can get. I highly recommend this product if you like to enjoy your walks without any pulling at all. Excellent product.

I purchased the haltermate halter for my dog. It was perfectly fitted. Unfortunately after only using it for 5 walks, it irritated my poor dog under his chin area - where the harness sits underneath. Took my dog to the vet, on antibiotics now! The vet recommended the gentle leader harness, which I purchased, and is already much better than the haltermate. Please check your dog after each walk to make sure it is not irritating him/her. I have emailed black dog to inform them of this and they have not bothered to get back to me. Disappointing to say the least!!

My dog Poppy was always pulling when walking but got a Haltermate and it is the best thing i ever brought

I have a large rambunctious 45 kg puppy. She's headstrong and willful. A trainer recommended this halti and I've never looked back. She is easier to control and train with this equipment. Thank you so much.

Marvellous haltermate ❤️ I’ve bought several, and recommended it to everyone who has a large dog or dog that pulls. Carefully introduction is important, and once dog understands how it works and is used to it, it makes walking wonderful every time.

As a reactive dog parent, I’ve tried multiple harnesses as well as the blackdog halti but the haltermate is next level - excellent design, comfortable for the dog and more control for me. Highly recommend.

Makes walking my dog a dream!

I tried many different harnesses and this one would have to be the best that I have used
From the first time I put it on Duke He was a different Dog
And he doesn't pull at all
I would recommend this harness to anyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely love the dog halter I purchased for my 11pm that old German shepherd it actually stops her from pulling I would recommend to any one that is looking for some kind of restraint to stop their dog from pulling their are out of their socket and being able to do a proper walk with their dog.

I honestly feel everyone with a Dog with a longer muzzle that can wear a halter should have one - the amount of dogs I see on body halters pulling their humans is astounding and people that have no control of their dogs - even more astounding.
I adopted a somewhat reactive rescue in September 2021 and the only training halter used by a well respected trainer that was part of his adoption was the other version of the halter mate that connects to the lead under chin and has the toggle - we have used that version ever since - the two challenges are that they connect under chin and I found it annoying as the lead would invariably end up between his legs - and if he was ever left with the halter on for an extended period of inactivity and he didn't like it - I am talking 5 minutes here - he could chew through the halter very quickly - so I have gone through about 6 of them -

I have been looking at this version for a while - and while it took a bit to figure out how to attach properly - finally the video was the only answer - as the written instructions are rubbish - I DO Like this one very much - it seems it will take more for him to chew through it :) and also I can attach his lead to the collar part alone - yes the muzzle part has to be tucked in if you undo it and only use lead but I do like that you can a a quickly unclip that part for total freedom from the figure 8 over the muzzle and it still offers great freedom jaw wise etc for the dog when figure 8 is on - . It doesn't strictly stay on the back of the neck even though the main collar is very snugly fitted but it does stay above throat area.

I continue to use these training halters as they are the most effective way I have found to be able to quickly get the dogs focus back if he is somewhat escalated - ie chickens, bush turkeys, or other dogs just being annoying, and also as he is 30 plus kilos it saves me from getting my arm ripped off if for some reason we find ourselves in an uncertain situation - I find mentally that my four legged also just behaves better he kind of gets that when it's on - maybe one day the training will be so good we can just go flat collar only but for me it is peace of mind as a rescue no matter who starts a potential "situation" his breed and being surrendered renders him the troublmaker no matter what.

I highly recommend this halter but just ensure you have it on your dog in the correct way - as I didn't for a week - and that's where skin rubbing and issues would happen.

Well done Black Dog but to echo another comment here - Black Dog directly does need to be on it for consumer response!!!!!

Vet n Pet Direct I love

Awesome

My big pup is much easier to control with the Haltermate and is more tolerant of wearing it compared to an ordinary halter which he couldn't get comfortable with.

It’s fine except for when you want to take your dog to the dog park and need to take the gear off all together, then you have no collar around your dog as it’s all connected. I prefer for k9 bridle for this reason. If not taking to dog park and just walking it’s ok

Previously had the black dog training halter which was great but this one gives far more control for our headstrong girl.

Purchased for my strong staffy cross who sometimes reacts to other dogs, works well.

Our staffy shepherd Cross pulls like a train
With the halter mate he’s perfect

My dog is a whippet staffy cross and the first week I got him I got torn ligaments from him lunging ahead. This keeps him in check.

I have 2 German shepherds which is almost 100 kg of dog, one pulls my arm out. I got size 4 and was a little sceptical, however had to give something a go. I was shocked at how quickly he has adapted and he is learning what is required from him on the walk and the pressure is off my arm and shoulder. I started off with small periods with it on around the house and built up to a walk. I had to utube it to get it fitted correctly.

My pointer is a strong boy, and even in some of the other nose halti's would still pull, they work on my other dog, but not the boy.

Enter the Black Dog Haltermate with the (optional) connecfor strap.

Easy to adjust to fit, easy to put on

Damn it just works.
He can still walk, sniff, look and enjoy our walks.
But when he start pulling hard, he then stops and sits.

Now that we can walk, we can train.

Really happy with the product, doesn't ride in out dogs eyes like the previous halti we had for her. She is more comfortable and still works just as effectively with her walking and control. We got the pink one which has a nice pink collar attached.
