I used a Halti with my last dog and it did work like magic. He never had any adjustment period and quit pulling completely while wearing it. The down-side is that I never was able to wean him off it and it became a permanent crutch for our daily walks. If I tried to clip a leash to his regular collar, he pulled like crazy. As Cindy mentioned, if the dog goes running out and the GL jerks their neck around, it can cause a permanent neck injury.

I'm working with Charlie with a regular buckle collar, and it's going very slowly, but I want to be able to train him without the crutches. Plus I'm relatively sure that he would end up jerking and hurting his neck, unlike my last dog. I would try to wean Waeryn off the GL as soon as possible, so it doesn't become a permanent fixture in your dog gear.
