Our Pet Centre is based in Surrey, UK, however, some training and behavioral issues are best addressed face-to-face. For citizens outside the UK, we recommend searching for professional dog trainers/behaviorists in your area.

To exchange your product for the right size or need to return a product, we recommend going back to the retailer you bought the product from to request an exchange/return. Please check your retailer’s return policy for more information.

As we are only the manufacturer, we do not have access to Retailer’s internal systems and so we would not be able to supply any information regarding your order. We recommend contacting the retailer you bought the item from for further help or an update of your order.

Yes! Here at Company of Animals it’s not all about dogs, we have plenty of great products for cats as well; from interactive feeders and toys to grooming you’re sure to find something to keep your feline friend happy. Some of these have been specifically designed for cats but we have also included some of our traditional ‘doggie’ products that are also proving very popular with our cat loving customers!

You will find that our Halti Training and Halti Walking brand pages has a diagram to show what harnesses are best for different walking habits, different breed types and ages, including the different features they have. The Halti Training range will show all our no-pull harness options.

Many of our Halti products have reflective stitching on them which is great for walks when it is darker. Please check out our Halti Walking and Halti Training brand page to have a closer look at all the fantastic features our products have!

We recommend using the CarSafe Harnesses for car journeys.

The CarSafe Crash-Tested Harness and CarSafe Dog Travel Harness can be attached directly to the car seat-belt system through the loop nearest the top of the harness. Check out our CarSafe brand page to find out more.

For generalized walking, we would recommend the Halti Walking Harness and Halti Comfy Harness. Using a double-ended lead with these harnesses such as the Halti Training Leash will provide you with added control and will help your puppy learn to walk nicely on the lead. Make sure to keep the any form of training positive by rewarding treats for good behaviour.

If you have a puppy that pulls excessively on the lead, our Halti Training range can help! We recommend that walking-on-the-lead training is only done for a short period each day, and within the overall scope of your puppy’s recommended daily exercise allowance. It is important to note that lead walk training should only be a part of your puppy’s daily exercise which should also include a wide range of activities to aid mental stimulation and early socialization. A common guideline for estimating a daily exercise level for your puppy is 5 minutes of exercise per month of age, twice a day. So for example, a 5-month-old puppy could have 2 x 25-minute walks daily. However, you should consult with your vet on the appropriate number of minutes per day as a puppy’s breed and development stage will also play a role in the overall exercise time.

You will find all our sizeable products have a size guide to help you identify which sizing category your dog falls into including a diagram to show where you need to measure on your dog. The size guides can be found on each product page.

If you are still unsure as to which size to get, please contact us and we will offer our sizing advice.

Check out the corresponding product pages for information about correct fitting for each product. We also have informational videos on our YouTube Channel showing how to use and fit many of our Halti and CarSafe products.

The mechanisms in our no-pull range are the differing factor which sets us apart from other standard harnesses on the market in the fact that when the dog pulls on the lead, they will feel a different sensation whether that be from the gentle up motion of the Halti No Pull Harness or gentle guidance from the Halti Headcollar and Halti Optifit Headcollar.

When first trying this product, make the introduction to the harness as positive as possible but do training in short bursts so that your dog gives their full attention each time. This can be through short walks around your road/street or in your garden and then build up to longer walks. Reward your dog with treats throughout to implement the positive association and to keep your dog interested.

When you do see your dog pulling on the lead, make sure to halt in your tracks, thus imposing the inability for the dog to push forward. Once the dog stops pulling, praise vocally and reward with a treat, then continue your walk. This will create a positive association between not pulling and being rewarded for good behaviour.

It should be noted that our no-pull harnesses are training aids and for more complex behaviours that are causing your dog to pull may be best referred to a professional dog trainer.

If your dog’s nose and circumference measurements fall into different sizing brackets, then we would recommend choosing the size that best fits your dog’s nose length measurement. This is because if you fit a muzzle that is too short in the length, the muzzle will sit further down the dog’s nose, preventing your dog to comfortably pant and drink. It should be noted that the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle can be remoulded with hot tap water. For more information on how to remould plus other top tips, please see our useful video on our YouTube Channel.

All products within our current range can be hand-washed with warm soapy water. Allow to drip dry and use again when fully dry. We DO NOT recommend using a tumble dryer to dry the products.

For general advice, we recommend rinsing the clips and webbing with plain water after your walk, especially walks that involved sea/sand/mud etc. We recommend checking your lead and clips regularly for any signs of wear and tear and replace when necessary.
