I am soo with you on this one! I was just raving about the Halti until TODAY...... a dog came from across the street to meet mine and everything happened at once and she managed to flip it right off completely!! The other dog was friendly but mine is totally out of control in a happy way of course. Mine does the same thing with pulling and dragging me hurting my hands and it must look pitiful to the others who are watching when we have no control. Mine starts obedience on the 24th, does your dog have any obedience training? Oh ya, and I also had treats in my pocket, it was just a joke
