Halti collar

I put a halti collar on Ryan this morning and took him for a 1.5 mile walk. The thing just plain works. Ryan didn't seem to mind putting it on too much, but when we left he was trying to figure out why his head was whipping around. He put up with it for about .5 miles and then he started the "try to scratch it off my face" routine. I stopped him and he did it again half a block down but then he seemed to resign to it and the whole walking experience was much better for me. I need to give him a bit longer of a leash as I was walking right up behind him since he didn't seem to settle into one side of me. I need to work on that, but it was nice not having him choking himself trying to drag me back to the house.
