Description

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. Brand Story By PetSafe

    • It works great for our dog
Size: Large Color: Fawn
Totally ripped off the below article from --> (http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/are-head-collars-on-dogs-dangerous-or-safe) ...but it says it all. It works great for our dog Attached to leashes are tools designed to help you control your dog by guiding its head, just as halters and lead ropes are used to help control horses. An animal tends to go where its head goes. So, if the dog (or horse) wants to pull on the leash and its head can’t move, it can’t pull you so well. If the dog (or horse) wants to head in one direction and you want to go in another, gently (but not daintily) guide its head in the direction you want to lead the animal. The nice thing about head collars is that with some dogs, owners can just slap a head collar on and the dog suddenly walks nicely on leash, including around distractions that the dog would have barked and lunged at in the past. But in some cases, dogs randomly paw at the funny gear hanging off their faces the way you’d paw at pesky flies buzzing around your head. In other cases, the dog walks nicely and on a loose lead but, when he sees a distraction, he starts to sprint several feet to the end of the leash or barks and lunges and flails to get at the dog, cat, or person in the distance while fighting to get its head loose. Now if this were a person, flailing on the end of a leash attached to an apparatus on his head, he’d surely have a neck injury. But anyone who has seen a dog that goes to town playing tug-o-war knows that a dog’s neck is built differently. Because of this neck strength, few cases of injury due to head collars have been proven or medically documented (I actually haven’t seen any). Not to say injury could not happen. However, veterinary documented injuries caused or exacerbated by choke chain corrections and electronic collars are easy to find. . Most likely if dogs are pulling on their head collar a lot or running to the end, they may need massage or chiropractic care just the way people who work or study at a desk all day need back adjustments periodically. In fact, I think I need a lower back adjustment right now. The Basics of Teaching Dogs to Understand Head Collar Guidance The fact of the matter is, that as a trainer, if you’re concerned about injury due to head collars or difficulty accepting the collar, it’s best to learn the skills needed to actually train the dog to love wearing the head collar and walk politely on a head collar, as well as to teach the owner how to correctly guide the dog in an anatomically natural way. The first step of training dogs to love the head collar is easy. Just pair the head collar with food and systematically train the dog to stick its head further and further through. In most cases where the food and the collar are handled correctly, the dog can learn to shove his nose through in just a minute or two. Practice over several sessions if you’re worried that your dog will especially dislike wearing something odd on his head. On a side note, this method for training dogs to love their head collar is virtually identical to training dogs to love wearing a muzzle. Once the dog is good at shoving his nose into the head collar, then put the head collar on. Keep the dog focused on you instead of the funny thing on his face. You can lure him with a treat to hurry and follow you a few steps at a time; if he’s doing well after you repeat this five to ten times, increase the number of steps he must take to get the treat. You can also use targeting instead of luring if he already knows how to touch a target with his nose and loves it. Once your dog’s walking nicely and no longer has the desire to paw the head collar, it’s time to teach him that the leash has a limit. Every time his front feet pass yours, meaning he’s just a second or two from getting far enough ahead to pull, stop dead in your tracks. That will make it clear you’ve stopped and even the slightest pull will mean a halt to his forward movement. Once he clearly steps back towards you and then stands with a loose leash (or better yet, sits), walk forward briskly on a loose leash. In other words, he learns the leash hanging in a lazy “U” means he gets to walk forward. If the leash starts to tighten, it means you’re stopping. By doing this consistently for as little as one 5-10 minute session, Fido can learn that the leash has a limit that’s predictable. Note: in order for Fido to learn this and continue walking nicely you have to be consistent about how you walk and hold the leash. If you sometimes let him walk ahead and pull a little such that the leash is hanging but like a wide smiley face, or if you stop when his feet get ahead of yours but instead of keeping your leash–holding hand down low at your side-- you let Fido pull your hand forward when he continues to walk, you’re sending mixed signals about what you want. Fido may never clearly get what you’re imagining in your head. Have someone watch you so that you can see if you’re always being clear. Now that Fido can walk with a head collar on in a non-distracting environment, you may be ready to guide him better when distractions appear. When you see something that normally catches his eye, react ahead of time so that he can’t run to the end of a his 6-foot lead. Hold his leash so it’s just one to two feet long but still handling loosely so that you can easily and quickly guide Fido in the direction you want to go. If you hold the leash that way, it will only tighten when you head in the new direction if Fido does not immediately follow. Then, so that Fido knows you have a direction in mind, you must clearly and quickly move in the different direction the same way you’d move if you and a friend were jogging and you had to grab her arm to guide her away from the hole she was about to fall in (To understanad the importance of movement, read Dealing with Difficult Dogs at the Vet: 5 Tips That Don't Involve Food or Training Time). Head Collars Are Most Effective and Safe if You Have the Necessary Skills Of course the choice to use a head collar is up to the individual; however, if you’re a dog trainer, it’s helpful to know why a head collar might be useful and how to use it more skillfully, beyond the basics described above. The number one reason I recommend head collars to some owners is that a head collar can level the playing field for owners who have mediocre timing and speed. Because the owners are able to guide the head, they can more easily get their dogs’ attention. The use of a head collar can greatly speed up the process of training dogs to focus on their owners and perform fun, polite behaviors instead of reacting to other dogs, people and stimuli. When used correctly, a head collar can even help control anxious dogs so that they can calm down enough to focus and take treats. ... show more

    • No More Pulling!
Size: Medium Color: Grey, Charcoal
I have a Treeing Walker Coonhound. I love her to death, yet she can be quite aggressive on walks, pulling and lunging. I tried several collars before this, and was ready to try something more drastic, like a metal pronged collar, which I didn't want to try. I bought this after my wife made me watch the video. So simple, yet so effective. Literally from the moment I put it on her, she stopped pulling and is a pleasure to walk. She doesn't like wearing it, but, that's a small price to pay, as we're both happier. I recommend it. It's low cost, simple and really works! ... show more

    • As Good as Others at a More Reasonable Price
Size: Medium Color: Royal Blue
This is similar in quality to the more expensive leading brand, and has served me well. If you've never used a gentle leader, it will take time for you to both learn how to properly adjust it, and use it while walking your dog. I fortunately had the original many years ago that supplied an instructional DVD that was helpful. I have also received help from the dog trainer at my local pet chain store. The results when using this product have been excellent and makes walking my 68 lb dog easy. She still doesn't always like having it on her snout, but she accepts it with some prodding. It is a great teaching tool and I'm hoping as she grows from adolescents and into full-on adulthood, I'll be able to transition her to something more basic. ... show more

    • Life changing! Until it broke…
Size: Medium Color: Black
Review Image by Jess Jess
This leash was life changing for my dog who pulled. It worked immediately and he was no longer pulling. Used daily for 2 months and then one day it broke! Luckily he did not run off and I was able to wrangle him up. I guess I should have been checking to see if the hook was loose or fraying. I will repurchase, but from a better quality brand. Overall this is a good starter to see if a gentle leader works for your pup. ... show more

    • One of the best things I have ever used for my dog
Size: Medium Color: Apple Green
I cannot sing enough praises for the face lead walking leash I recently purchased for my spirited Husky. Walking my Husky had always been a bit of a challenge, as pulling seemed ingrained in his nature. Traditional collars and harnesses didn't seem to deter his natural instincts, and walks often turned into a bit of a tug-of-war. Enter the face lead – a game-changer in every sense. From the moment I started using the face lead, the transformation in my dog's behavior was remarkable. It's clear that the design of this leash aligns with the anatomy of a dog's face, creating a gentle and effective means of discouraging pulling. The pressure distribution across the face, instead of the neck or body, has led to an almost complete cessation of pulling. It's like walking a different dog! What's particularly impressive is the build quality of the face lead. My Husky, being the determined and strong-willed character he is, has attempted a few times to take it off. However, much to my relief, the design of the face lead ensures it stays securely in place. The fit is snug yet comfortable, and I no longer have to worry about him slipping out or struggling against traditional collars. Beyond its functional benefits, the face lead has transformed our walks into moments of pure joy and bonding. With the pulling greatly reduced, I can focus on enjoying the surroundings, and my Husky seems to appreciate the newfound freedom without the constant tension. It's evident that he's more at ease, making our walks not just a routine but a cherished time for connection. In conclusion, the face lead has proven to be an invaluable tool in reshaping my dog's walking behavior. It's a testament to its thoughtful design and effectiveness that walking my Husky has become an absolute delight. If you're dealing with a strong-willed dog or struggling with pulling during walks, investing in a face lead could be a game-changer for both you and your furry friend. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a more enjoyable and harmonious walking experience. ... show more
