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 trainers, 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 dog’s natural instinct to pull against pressure. The headcollar loops around your dog’s 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 dog’s snout, it doesn’t 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 won’t 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 isn’t 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.

    • Good for pulling
Size: Large Color: Black
Review Image by Zyereri J Zyereri J
He’s not pulling anymore so the walks are far more enjoyable. He doesn’t like it but he’s not supposed to. It’s not there for him to enjoy it, it’s there to keep him from pulling. Yes, he rubs his face in the grass when we stop (not often) but overall while we’re walking he doesn’t seem to care enough to attempt messing with it. The only time he tries to bother with it is if we’ve stopped walking for too long. Easy fix by walking again. Great product, immediate fix for a big problem. ... 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

    • Works on Clydesdales! (105lb Dobermann/hound mixes)
Size: Large Color: Black
Wow. I'm really beyond words. We have a 105lb Doberman/Blue tick mix. He's gigantic. A huge dopey jerk. Friendly, but aggressively friendly. He will charge other dogs just to sniff them and say hello. Very rude, and understandably terrifying. Taking him on walks is never fun for me because I'm a 5'3 100lb woman. When he sees another dog, he can (and often will) pull me to the ground. I've fallen over so many times trying to wrangle him in that I've lost count. I've pulled muscles, been scratched, and, most recently, was pulled so hard I was cartoonishly in the air for a few seconds. Worst case scenario is he pulls me so hard he gets loose and gets himself into dog fights because he has no manners (my boyfriend never leash trained him) and the other dogs freak out at the giant Clydesdale hurtling towards them. It's a nightmare. Utter nightmare. The full-body harness I always use for him only seems to give him strength (and, physics-wise, it makes sense - you'll get more leverage and power when you can use your entire body to pull something rather than if you were just using your head/neck muscles). I have to carefully plan my route like I'm in air traffic control when I take him to use the bathroom because we live in an apartment and encounters with other dogs are all too frequent and entirely unavailable. I bought this because I remembered having something like it for our border collie when I was a kid. She'd pull so hard she choked herself. But her muzzle harness worked! However, a 35lb dog pulling you isn't quite the same as a 105lb dog pulling you. I had my doubts about the nylon straps holding up against the power of a draft horse. I waited just about by the door all day for this harness to arrive. When it did, I hoped that it would mean a new life for me. One where horse-sized dogs and small women can go and experience the outdoors together without pain and depravity and destruction. Ladies and gentlemen, my hopes and prayers were answered. I conditioned him all day with the new harness, like the other reviewers mentioned you should do. He got a few special treats (chicken fat and cheese) so he would associate the harness with all things heavenly. When it was time to go, I hooked him up, opened the door, took a deep breath, and stepped out into the world. He didn't pull. Couldn't pull. He cried and threw a fit, as hounds do, but he got used to it. We saw another dog and I didn't have to relive another Friday Night Smackdown! We came back in and for once my arms were still attached to their sockets. Horse dog got an ox tail for being so brave. Life is worth living, my friends. I can't believe it worked. I'm shocked and beyond grateful that I live in a world where a product like this exists. It sounds pricey, but think of how much you'd pay for a trainer instead. If you're blessed with a dog who doesn't try and drive a horse-drawn buggy every time you walk them, then buy one of these for a friend who has a dog like mine. ** edit ** I think this purchase is what kept me from snapping and huddling in a corner and eating my hair. I bought this over two years ago and it's worked like a charm the entire time. I wouldn't say that the Clydesdale got entirely used to it, but I noticed a difference in his attempts at pulling on our normal walks. He even begrudgingly seemed to accept that it was going to be part of our excursions and stopped trying to fight me when I went to put it on him. It amazes me that a few straps of nylon actually held up against this behemoth animal and didn't snap. This was a life-changing purchase for me. ... show more
