Be very very careful with a head halter. I have heard of them causing serious neck injuries. For all their medeival appearance, I think prongs are the most humane and safest collar to use on a dog that pulls. Because of the way they work, they actually put *less* pressure on the trachea than a flat buckle collar. And the dog is essentially in control of the correction--no pull=no correction. I have never used a halti with Dexter, but my first poo *hated* it and never completely got used to it.
