The Gentle Leader Headcollar is a perfect no-pull solution to help improve leash manners and the bond between you and your dog. Designed by a veterinary behaviorist, the Gentle Leader Headcollar is loved and trusted by vets and pet parents and has helped improve 5 million walks around the world. This training tool is best for dogs who pull because it interrupts your dogs natural instinct to pull against pressure. The headcollar loops around your dogs nose, so when he pulls, it gently moves his head toward you so he can refocus his attention on you and away from other distractions. Although this training tool rests on your dogs snout, it doesnt work like a muzzle. Your best friend still has the freedom to eat a treat, drink water and catch a tennis ball at the dog park. The quickest way to help your dog feel comfortable wearing his new headcollar is to let him wear it without a leash attached while he does all his favorite activities. The best part is, once your dog is a champ at walk etiquette, you will probably only have to use the headcollar as a backup during situations when you need a little more control, like visits to the vet. This headcollar wont fit our furry friends with super short snouts (like pugs or bulldogs). If you have a dog with a short snout, check out our Easy Walk No-Pull Dog Harness. You can purchase the Gentle Leader Headcollar risk-free because whether the headcollar isnt the right size or your dog mistakes the harness for a chew toy, our Customer Care team is happy to assist you with a new size or replacement. You and your dog will soon enjoy pull-free walks together. Trust PetSafe to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

Title: Gentle and effective miracle device to enjoy walking our reactive dog!
Review: Absolutely thrilled with the gentle leader! Our new foster dog struggles with reactivity and pulling on the leash. This offered an amazingly effective solution that makes walks safer and more enjoyable for everyone. The instructions are easy to follow to fit to your dog and the sizing chart was accurate. The soft lining helps reduce chaffing on the muzzle and increases comfort. Our dog adjusted quickly and was not able to slip the collar when fitted as instructed. I’ve already recommended this to all the other dog owners in our neighborhood and am so grateful we found this product!

Title: This thing rocks
Review: I use it everyday for my American bulldog. Product works well and makes it easy to walk my 135 pound dog who is incredibly strong. This works. Fixed his pulling immediately. It may take a day or two for your dog to get used to it but once they get used to it, everything is great. Cant imagine walking my dog without this now.

Title: What you need to know (read the bottom to skip the story)
Review: I have a border collie mix, and she wasn’t too bad at pulling however she always got overexcited whenever she saw a person/bird/squirrel or another living thing and this would cause her to pull. I tried a lot of methods to prevent this, from treats to shock collars (which not only didn’t work I felt so bad and guilty for using one in the first place) I even tried harnesses with the front loop to prevent pulling. It didn’t work, she kept pulling or lunging spontaneously at something, it not only made people fear her (and she is a very friendly dog) but the strength of her lunges was really taking a toll on my shoulder, and my hand.After being hesitant I finally decided to get this head harness, I was hesitant to buy it at first because I thought it would be cruel and painful to my dog, but I needed something stern and something stubborn like me.Now onto getting the product, it came with everything advertised. You don’t really need to watch the CD as most of the information is on the paper pamphlet it provides you, which comes with images. I put it on my dog no problem took it off put it on rewarded her for keeping it on her without her trying to scratch or pull it off. Now this was fine however when we began to walk she HATED this being on her face, I tried to walk inside my home first before I moved out into the outside world where there would be a lot of distractions, and living in NYC there is a lot of those. I tried regular dog treats however I needed something she desired more, something to take her mind off of the strap on her face. This is were cold cuts ham came in, I let the leash drag so she can get use to that weight and walked back and forth my home every time she went down I quickly whipped out the ham to distract her and it worked. I did this a couple of times sometimes I would have to unhook her claws from getting stuck in the strap but needless to say the ham did a pretty good job.Now going outside for the first time, she was stupidly calm, not gunna say I was dumbstruck but honestly I was pretty dumbstruck. I felt like one of those people in the infomercials with where you go from and over excited dog to a very calm and behaved one in five minutes (except it took me about an hour and a half to get her use to it) the pressure from the head harness seemed to do the trick, every time she would go just a little too far walking not pulling the head harness would very slightly tug and she would quickly get back a little. Within one day she was respecting the leash boundaries. Every once in a while within the two days she would try and fight it and I would whip out the ham just give her a very small piece and she would be back to forgetting all about it.Now there is a problem with this, the material I can’t say for sure how long it would last but I would update if it ends up breaking. There is also an issue with the padding, there is very little padding on the underside of the strap that goes onto the dogs muzzle, so even if a dog does pull harshly with the head harness on, it is going to give sort of an Indian burn on their muzzle. I found out the hard way when one of my neighbors dog got loose, and they made no effort to go grab it as it came after my dog and go underneath her biting her. Now my dog does not tolerate another dog biting her and will attack, as I was trying to get the smaller dog out from underneath her, my left hand which held the leash had a firm grip so her head couldn’t, get down and bit my hand or the smaller dog. Grabbing the smaller dog I made sure to separate it even though my dog still wanted revenge on the little sh**t. After the incident however, when I took off the head harness it rubbed off a small bit of her fur creating this very narrow line, though my dog didn’t seem to be in any pain and other then that she was fine it still bother me.SO BOTTOM LINE:Yes, it will HELP PREVENT your dog from pulling, the material is not the best of the best but it seemed pretty good, maybe it would last a couple months maybe not, I will have to continue using it to see. Make sure your dog is okay with the head harness instead of just putting it on and going out with it, because if they are trying to pull it off their face, they can cause serious injury to their eyes or cut their muzzle up and get highly frustrated, and most likely create a bad experience in which they will refuse to put it on. Dogs who continue to pull very aggressively with this on, beware, because it will grind into their muzzle and continue use it could cause a gash in their muzzle from the strap, it does not have much to any cushion on the strap that goes onto the muzzle, so it would probably feel like an Indian burn on your arm but onto the dogs face. Other then that dogs who don’t have that much problem with the head harness or got use to it being on their face, this will help them to respect the leash boundaries (which just means the length of the leash you have given them for walking), it is also quite a pain for them (or at least my dog) to try and get it off their face with one or two of their paws.

Review: Yep. Should have bought this a year ago…It works perfectly! Took our bernedoodle for 5 minute walks at first, giving him treats. He rolled around on the grass and used his paws to remove it a few times. But today when we went out he walked right beside us as he knew he would get lots of praise and treats. We walked for 20 minutes zero issues. He was happy and fine and my arm was happy to not be tugged at the entire walk. The straps don’t hurt his face as he has a lot of fur and we don’t have to worry about it strangling him. Very simple and easy to use.

Review: This is the greatest invention for forward or hard pulling dogs. I have a 6 month puppy with a mind of his own. He is learning but everything is new. He is 30 lbs plus and I am not a strong woman. The gentle leader makes a walk a joy. He is still forward but can no longer have his way. Now we can start gentle training to keep an eye on me. This will be a work in progress. Be sure to follow the fit instructions. I have seen too many improperly fitted head harnesses. The nose band should have a little play.The harness is well made. Should last a long time.

Review: Compre uno en liverpol (tienda departamental) Por el mismo precio y este se ve de menor calidad. Funciona bien y es lo que se describe. Solo que por no ser de la marca quizá podrÃa costar un poco menos o valdrÃa la pena comprarlo directamente con la marca

Review: My dog hates this head collar, but i love it. The walks are so much better without any fights to stop the pulling. I recommend that if you buy this, keep a couple of treats in your pocket because your dog will pause every few minutes or so in attempt to remove the collar.
