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.

If your dog is like ours that refuses to walj or gets distracted by everything, tgen you need this! Our dog would drag herself or be pulling on the leash and misbehaving so badly until we bought this head collar. She's a totally different dog when she has it on and she doesn't mind wearing it. The only thing I would like is if it were a bit thicker.

I can admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong. We have an anatolian shepherd that pulls like crazy and is so strong. Walking her was not a pleasant experience. We tried a nightingale collar and a prong collar and neither worked. My husband wanted to try this, and I truly didn't think it would work. IT TOTALLY WORKS! To be fair, our dog doesn't really like it, but she tolerates it, and our walks are truly night and day from before. You have to work into it slowly to get them used to it, but it really worked wonders for us!

Great headcollar to keep dogs from pulling on their leashes. Was recommended by our vet years ago and finally needed to replace after over a decade of use. Our dog is a 65 pound cattle dog/shepherd mix and the Medium works great for him. Highly recommend if you have a dog that pulls.

The new padding this product is a great improvement. It's not very noticeable and doesn't look bad. However, it could use even more padding to prevent marks my dog's snout.

Difficult to get my dogs to wear, took too long to adjust. Switched to Easy Walk Harness, worked like miracle. No more chasing rabbits, no more falls.

Not good product. Didn't work as promised. Maybe okay for some dogs, but not for my Boston Terrier with short snout. Won't buy again without checking first.
