EN General Tips
• Beginning as early as 8-10 weeks of age, the Easy Walk ™ Headcollar can be worn by
your puppy or dog whenever you want to prevent lead pulling, lunging, jumping, barking,
etc. Although we generally recommend that the Easy Walk ™ Headcollar be taken off each
night, there are some unique situations in which your behaviour professional may advise
that it be worn 24 hours per day for a specifi ed period of time. In these cases, please be
sure you fully understand and follow the instructions given, and discuss any questions with
your professional.
• Never keep a constant pull on the lead as this will confuse your dog and may cause him
to resist.
• Never jerk or yank the lead – try to forget everything you’ve ever learned before about
“choke chains,” “jerk & release” and “traditional” training. A smooth gentle pull (with
immediate release) is all you’ll need.
• Leading behaviourists and trainers report that the Easy Walk ™ Headcollar is particularly
effective in helping fearful and shy dogs feel more secure and calm in situations that
produce anxiety. With the Easy Walk ™ Headcollar, your dog instinctively senses and
responds to your leadership, allowing him to relax and let you be responsible for his
welfare. When fear and anxiety are reduced, your dog will learn faster and be a more
rewarding companion.
• If you are experiencing more complicated behaviour problems, or simply would like
additional hands on assistance, we encourage you to consult with your veterinarian, local
trainer, or behaviour specialist.
• While the Easy Walk ™ Headcollar can be an extremely effective and important tool in
dealing with many aggression problems, it is not a “cure.” We highly advise you seek
the services of a professional (behaviourist, veterinarian or trainer) with the experience
in diagnosing and prescribing treatment programs for aggression problems. Your regular
veterinarian can provide you with a referral to such a specialist.
