PetSafe Chic Gentle Leader Headcollar - No-Pull Collar for Training - Redirects Pulling Instinct - Durable Nylon Headcollar - Padded Nose Loop Strap - Quick Snap Closure - Small - Bonez

I have used the gently brand with my other dogs and they work so well in controlling their behavior and helping me be able to walk them. I had two dogs that were 100 plus pounds so it was hard to walk both of them. But with the gently it was easy. I got this cute gentle lead with the donuts on it for my new 9-month-old puppy. She hates it but it works perfectly. It doesn't hurt her and it is comfortable. She just needs to get used to walking with it. It took about two times for that to happen and now she's a pro. No pulling, no trying to run away. Perfect for training. After 4 months she's able to walk off leash without running away.

Exactly what I need for walking my nervous dog! She tends to get nervous and tries to drag me on her leash in public. (She's not big enough to actually drag be thankfully but big enough to make walking her with constant hard pulling uncomfortable) This basically worked immediately! I didn't gradually introduce her to it either. We just jumped right in. She wasn't scared of it, just tried to rub her snout on the ground a few times while at my son's soccer game. She didn't try to pull me one single time! She just walked with a loose leash like she had been doing it her whole life. I plan to only temporarily use it as a training tool but I'm impressed! It also came with a matching leash, which I wasn't aware of so that was nice.

First of all, how cute is the Donut pattern? I have an almost 90 pound black lab with a lot of energy. He was always pulling on the leash and harness combo we had previously and would drag me down hills, into people's yards, and even into oncoming traffic as he chased after animals. Not fun. Or safe. As the weather got warmer I wanted to spend more time outside with our dog going on walks, but all I could handle was 5 to 10 minutes outside with him as he was so bad on the leash. This gentle leader changed ALL OF THAT. It took maybe 5 minutes to set up the gentle leader on our dog so it fit properly and we went outside to try it out. He does not drag me around anymore! He walks at a nice, reasonable pace and we can now spend so much more time outdoors. The leader helps keep him in line and under control when going out for walks. The gentle leader appears to be made with excellent quality and shows no signs of deterioration or use so far. This gentle leader has really changed our lifestyle! There is a lot less frustration in our household and we are much happier for that.

In the realm of pet training and handling the gentle leader is a very effective tool. But I can’t caution enough to be very careful when you handle your dog with this because it does hit on all the nerves and senses in their muzzle… You do want to be gentle with them when you handle them in this harness. It reinforces response and focus because it does hit those pressure points and the dog acts. My dog really wasn’t too thrilled with it at first but it is a very great tool when you’re around a crowd of people or other dogs because it forces the dog to focus on you the handler, and the harness that your leading them by. This particular harness I thought was a little bit on the light side. I would’ve liked it to be a little bit more in terms of thickness. I could see where my dog could chew through it pretty quickly if she was allowed to do that. The colors are fantastic in this particular design. That part I like it very much. I’m definitely saving this harness for special occasions. And if you have a dog who jumps up a lot this is great for keeping them at your side and discouraging to not jump up on other people. At least that’s been our experience. It also reduces the puller…. Some trainers do not like this product at all. I’m finding that there are a lot of different tools and harnesses and collars and leads that you can use. I think you really just have to find what works best for your pet. However I think using a variety of different tools can be very helpful, Especially when you’re trying to keep a fresh approach with your training. Don’t let tour dog get bored. And also approach all your training with love - good luck and try the “gentle leader”. I’ve seen very intense hyperactive dogs turned into little passive sweethearts with this tool, so I can say I can recommend it. It is definitely a great tool in your training box.

I’m such a gentle leader fan! I use them for my two dogs and I ordered one of these because it looked EXACTLY the same as the $50 petsmart ones but was wayyyy less costly on amazon, so I ordered the cute donut one for my boxer thinking it might not work great with her round face but the size M works wonderfully for my 65 pound boxer and a just ordered another one in size L for my 100 pound golden. But the medium actually works on him too! because they’re pretty versatile leashes! I would say it’s safe to get a L for anything over 50 pounds and you can just adjust the pull with the little lever at the bottom. But my petsmart gentle leader actually broke pretty quick and it cost 2-3x the amount of this one and this one is way cuter with the design! I get compliments almost every time I take the dogs out! people love the little design because most stores sell them in only black. I would order a few because they’re so good to have and work wonders! also before using the gentle leader my dogs were totally different doggos! the gentle leader is SOOOOO helpful in all aspects of training!

This product is terrific for helping my dog not pull. It was recommended to me by my dog trainer. Unfortunately, it lasted less than a week, before the small plastic buckle assembly jammed when I was snapping it closed. The buckle entered the assembly and deviated to the side causing the clip to lodge in the assembly. I am ordering a new leader today - because I do believe it is a good product overall and will help with dog training. If your dog pulls like mine and gets down low to have more force to pull - this leader will help you retrain. your dog. I couldn't believe the difference. A friend of mine was also very happy with his gentle leader for helping to train his new puppy.

My pup doesn’t pull much with this. It didn’t take long for him to get used to this around his muzzle but admittedly he’s used to balancing stuff on his muzzle which could explain his tolerance for this. Just a couple of days where he tried to paw this off. My second purchase so we can wash one and use one.

Paid for next day delivery it arrived by 10 AM. Happy with speedy delivery. Pretty collar pattern, large size easily adjusts to fit 70 pound retriever. Have bought this brand before so I know the plastic parts are durable. My strong active lunging two-year-old is much easier to walk wearing this collar. Before using this he pulled me off my feet several times in his enthusiasm to investigate stuff. Would buy more of these if they had more patterns to choose from. From past experience I know that the lying down and pawing at the collar is a temporary behavior. Once they realize they can go for a walk, with a bit of training they sit quietly while you put it on. Remy wears a back up collar in the event he manages to pull the leader off his nose. Happily recommend this collar, it is a good value considering the improved behaviour on your walks.

No comprendo a qué se refieren con que no funciona si tu perro tira “demasiado" de la correa. Soy dueño de cuatro perros y frecuento entrenadores caninos todo el tiempo; nunca me he encontrado a un solo perro que se resista a este producto (aunque jale “demasiado"). Para mí es la solución perfecta para el perro poco cooperativo y creo que es la herramienta perfecta para dejar el horrible y cruel instrumento que es la correa de castigo en la basura –donde pertenece.

I love this design and had to buy from America. Why are all the UK ones boring old plain blue, black and red colours? Dogs just wanna have fun too! Great quality - came with a lead, instruction booklet and informative DVD. I love the Gentle leader. It is easy to use and gives you so much control without jerking and pulling your poor old pooch, who cannot help himself being sooo enthusiastic about walks and teasing cats!

La compre por recomendación de mi veterinario y resultó ser una de las mejores compras , mi perro ahora sale con calma a caminar y se terminaron los jalones . La recomiendo ampliamente , fue un cambio inmediato. Todos felices.
