Abstract
An animal control or training halter is of generally conventional construction with the exception that the nose piece is made of a rigid, curved metal bar covered with hard rubber. In addition to the conventional chin strap of the halter, an auxiliary control rope in the form of an endless loop is provided with a lead rope connecting ring attached to it and passes through a pair of auxiliary rings attached, respectively, to the connecting rings used on each side of the halter to interconnect the cheek straps, chin strap, and the rigid nose bar. When a lead rope is connected to the control rope, it causes, by virtue of its configuration, a clamping action to take place between the chin and nose of the animal applying pressure through the rigid nose piece to the animal's nose.
