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.

    • Works like a charm
Size: Large Color: Raspberry
Ive tried everything with my girls from harnesses, collars, and chains. This helps with the pulling and when they try to react to other dogs I have more control over them and I don't struggle walking them. they're not the best material but they're easy to use and don keep the dogs mouths shut which was something I was conserned about. My dogs definetly hate them right now but hoping they'll get used to them! ... show more

This product exceeded my expectations. The last one I got from PetSmart and it was terrible. Even though it was a name brand it didn't work very well and occasionally would come detached while I walked my dog. Scary? We ordered a large based on the chart but probably could have ordered a medium. I would definitely reorder. We got a pink 🩷 for my pitbull n terrier mix. I highly recommend this product. ... show more

    • 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

    • What you need to know (read the bottom to skip the story)
Size: Medium Color: Silver
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. ... show more

    • Wife loves it. Instant success.

We have a golden retriever/belgian malinois. At 80lbs, he can pull my wife off her feet. We've been training him to heel, but he still gets willful and over excited and pulls her on her butt. He doesn't like wearing the gentle leader one bit, but it stops him from pulling entirely. We figure he'll either eventually get used to it or prove he can be trusted to heel. It works perfectly on the first try at a reasonable price. ... show more
