Yeah we just got a dog few days back .. pulls like crazy. I tried the Halti yesterday and it worked amazingly well. Hopefully at some point he won't need it. Till then I will keep using it. The only problem is getting it on because my dog doesn't stay still like yours when putting it on. 😂
They will get used to it. And there's nothing wrong with staying with it. Some dogs are just pullers. I also use the Gentle Leader which is similar. You can also mix it up with something like an Easy Walk harness. This is a front pull harness. Not as effective as the Halti but still pretty good.
He can open his mouth fully. The Gentle Leader is a bit more minimalist. He has no problem panting in the summer. They can, eat, drink, grab balls. It does not pinch the muzzle and can just be pulled of the muzzle. That's why there's a safety strap. They can swipe the nose part off with their paws.
I use big dog styles halti great for big dog pullers. can I ask why your nose bit is loose, I was told to put it on so nose bit doesn't move up or down on the nose, so doesn't rub.
I leave it loose enough to allow proper airflow in and out of the nose and so it doesn't leave a line in his fur. It works great like this. I always have the safety tether attached.

I can see this is good for winter or colder climate when dogs aren’t panting as much, but summer time? I’m not so sure this would be good.

Hello what size did you get for him ?
@celinaphem3895 That is a large but I am now finding the Gentle Leader to be more effective and also less restrictive. I use a medium for the GL.
