Product Description
The Gentle Leader Headcollar quickly controls jumping, pulling, barking, chewing and begging. It even teaches sit and stay in one easy lesson!First of all, the Gentle Leader Headcollar is NOT a muzzle. When fitted properly, your dog is free to open his mouth to eat, drink, pant, fetch, bark and even bite - except when you close his mouth by pulling on the leash.The Gentle Leader Headcollar features two soft nylon straps - the collar portion fits high at the top of the neck, and the nose loop fits loosely and comfortably across the base of the muzzle. Each strap has a distinct and important effect. Includes:Gentle Leader Headcollar Training Guide FREE Training DVDSize Fits Petite Under 5 lbs. Small 6-25 lbs. Medium 26-60 lbs. Large 60-130 lbs. X-Large 130+ var moreinfovalue='Gentle Leader Head CollarThe Nose Loop - Dogs are naturally "pack" animals with a highly structured social order. One of the ways the "pack leader" will demonstrate his position is to gently but firmly grasp a subordinate\'s muzzle in his mouth. This is a non-aggressive, very clear signal regarding who\'s the boss! The Gentle Leader\'s nose loop encircles your dog\'s muzzle in this same manner, letting him know in his own language that you are his leader. Dogs feel more secure when they know who the leader is.The Neck Strap - Have you noticed how puppies seem to melt in relaxation when their mother picks them up at the back of the neck? Gentle Leader applies pressure to the back of the neck rather than the front of the throat, working with your dog\'s natural relaxation instinct with an amazing calming effect. Also, dogs tend to pull against pressure so the gentle pressure at the back of the neck causes the dog to pull backward, not forward. This means an end to leash pulling forever!Teaches "Sit" - The Gentle Leader Headcollar quickly encourages controlled sitting - raise your dog\'s nose skyward and he lowers his hindquarters - no pushing or shoving.';

This really does work! November 17, 2007
My dog is a puller and after much obedience training, we decided to buy the Gentle Leader. He was making walking a difficult chore and hurting himself in the process. You need to read the instructions or watch the DVD before you try to put this on for the first time. My dog did not like it at first, but began to learn that it was a good signal when I pulled it out of the closet because that meant we were going for a walk. Again, you will have to play around with it a bit to make sure you have the perfect fit. We also used a lot of treats at first so that he knew this was a good thing.
If it is a warm day or we've been walking our dog for a long time, my dog will try to paw it off. At this point, I know he's tired and just wants it off. So I will usually have to take it off towards the end of a long walk. No big deal for me because he's too tired to pull anyway.
Also, I'm not so keen on the look of it. Many people see it and think it's a muzzle. I constantly have to explain my dog is not dangerous just a poor walker. He can lick and breathe like normal with it on.
Anyway, I recommend this product because it allows us to enjoy our walks together.
