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.

I'd like to think that my dogs are fairly well-trained (wouldn't most people?) and that they listen to me when I give them commands or ask them to stop doing something. For the most part, they behave just as I'd expect for 3.5 and 1 year old German Shepherds. They are high-energy, happy, healthy animals who love other people and dogs alike. Unfortunately, I had to resort to these leaders because my dogs' excitement very nearly resulted in a broken wrist for me. I decided to take them to the park in our apartment complex one afternoon; there's usually no one there so pulling on the leash isn't really a problem. This particular day, however, there was a pit bull out in the park, sitting next to the fence. There was no owner in sight and the dog had no collar, so I assume that he'd wandered into the complex on his own. When my girls saw him, their hackles rose immediately and they started pulling so hard on their leashes that I couldn't stand my ground. They dragged me to the fence where they proceeded to snap at the dog through the fence, where the other dog was already snapping at them. I couldn't get a good enough grip on either of the leashes to pull my dogs away; all I could do was stand there hoping that the other dog wouldn't realize that the gate (approximately 20 feet away) was open. I was finally able to pull Seven, the smallest, away from the fence, but then she went around behind me while Riddley crossed in front, effectively swapping places with each other and wrapping me in the leashes in the process. All it took after that was a hard tug and I was falling toward the ground, reaching out to catch myself with my right hand. I hit the ground hard, listening to my wrist crackle under the impact of my weight against the ground. In all of the ruckus, however, I never let go of their leashes. I knew something had to give here. I wasn't concerned with their indoor behavior (as I said before, they're both very well-behaved and the incident with the pit bull was highly unusual) but I was almost afraid to take them out for walks anymore. My fiance and I discussed multiple possibilities, most of which we weren't very enthusiastic about. Choke collars make the dogs look mean and shock collars are inhumane - my sister used one on her Great Dane and now he doesn't trust anyone but my mom. Eventually, one of the GSD instagrammers that we follow posted a photo of her dog in a gentle leader and we began researching it. We decided that it was a much safer method for walk training and pulling prevention, and the colors it came in didn't look menacing or muzzle-like, so we ordered two for our dogs in colors to match their collars so that we could tell them apart. Sizing the leaders was surprisingly easy. Once we had the leaders on the dogs, we let them wear them for a few minutes every hour or so to get used to the sensation. We also put them on before meal time and took them off afterwards so that the girls would associate the leaders with good things rather than think of them as a punishment. We didn't try walking with them until the next day. With these leaders on, my dogs are completely different dogs. They walk next to me, they never try to pull and after the first few walks, they never paw at the leaders or try to get them off. We've encountered barking dogs on our walks and although Seven still gets excited and tries to get to the dog, her behavior is quickly corrected and she goes on her way without so much as a growl. I was floored by the difference made in their behavior just by switching from a neck collar to a head collar. My initial concern was that Seven would try to pull and injure her neck (she's a recently adopted shelter dog, and we're still working with her on her authority issues). With the leader, however, she doesn't pull and there's no risk of injury. Both dogs can still do all of the normal dog things they usually do without the leader (eat, drink, play, chew, bark, breathe, etc.) and now, a few weeks after introducing the head collars, they don't even notice the sensation on their noses. I noticed that a few reviewers said that their head collars broke and their dog was able to run away. Because of those reviews, we thoroughly tested both leaders (pulling, yanking, tugging, etc.) before putting them on the girls. I assume the leaders that broke were part of a bad batch or some sort of fluke because we saw no breaking or fraying whatsoever. All in all, we think these are a fantastic investment and we're so glad to have them. Walks that used to take two fully engaged arms and resulted in soreness and nearly broken bones are now possible with a single hand and a loose grip. I am thrilled with this purchase and now recommend this product to everyone who struggles with walking their dogs. Photos attached: Riddley in blue and Seven in Red

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.
