| Dog leash on mouth What is the reason for people with dog leashes that wrap around the mouth/head of the dog? Is this for guiding the dog for walks? Anyone use them for your small yorkie? |

| Do you mean a halti? The Company of Animals Halti Head Dog Collar in Black | Wayfair They are used to discourage a dog from pulling.

| They are a wonderful tool. My daughter has a 100 pound lab mix. She is a puller with just a leash and collar, so she bought and started to use one of these. I have walked her with and without and I was just amazed. No harm just control. |

| I used to have one they're great for large breed dogs that are harder to control.

| oh i see. my friend has a yorkie (about 7-8 lbs) that pulls like crazy. i think the dog is agoraphobic because all she wants to do is return home and will drag and pull the whole walk. so i'm guessing my friend should pass on this? my little puppy theo is pretty good about me leading after i have trained him for months haha |

| Are you perhaps talking about the Gentle Leader. Have used them on big dogs but not a Yorkie.
