Product Description
Tired of your dog taking YOU for a walk? The Gentle Leader Headcollar quickly controls pulling and lunging. Teaches sit/stay in one easy lesson! 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. 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.

Great product -But sizing can be a problem January 17, 2006

This product works very well. It stopped my 'sled dog' shepherd from pulling against the lead the very first time it was used (She was pulling on the collar so hard that she was constantly choking, gagging, and even throwing up). The only problem I've had with the gentle leader (other than price) is getting the right size. My dog is a border line small-medium dog with an average muzzle size. The nose loop on the small tends to be too small while the collar on the medium is too big. Needs more overlap on the nose loop with the next size up. If you have a big muzzle dog you'll need to get one size bigger than indicated.
 Amazingly Simple June 14, 2006

I have two dogs, one large and one small; both pull to the point of choking and gagging. When using this collar, there simply is no pull. Much more comfortable for the dog, great for the walker. Walks are so much more enjoyable now. Does not "muzzle" the dog and is comfortable for them. Great product, Great idea.
 NOT "Scientific" -- NOT a Training Tool September 2, 2005

Before you buy into the hype and purchase an item you'll eventually discard (if you love your dog, that is) you should know that dogs hate this device. It feels totally unnatural to them. Its so-called "scientific" design is based on the way a supposed alpha wolf enforces his authority by aggressively gripping a subordinate around the muzzle with his teeth. (Nice, huh?) Since we now know that the alpha theory is false, the rationale behind this torture device for dogs is equally bogus. (Wild wolf packs do not form dominance hierarchies or spend time trying to show each other who's boss by grabbing each other around the snout; such behaviors are only produced when wolves are forced to form unnatural packs while living in captivity.) A device that mimics a totally unnatural act of aggression cannot be considered positive.
As a dog trainer, and just as a human being who loves dogs and hates to see them being mistreated, I cannot stress strongly enough that this device should not be used on any dog, ever.
So what do you do to keep your dog from pulling? Dogs don't really pull on the leash so much as they get pulled on by things in the environment that stimulate and attract their instincts. So the trick to training a dog NOT to pull is to play games that will make YOU more interesting and more appealing to his instincts than the things in the environment are.
It really works! July 26, 2006

I bought this product for my huge 6 month old German Shepherd puppy. He was always pulling me around and jumping at every little object that moved, even though we had tried to train him for 3 months. He's already extremely strong and I didn't want him to be doing this once he was full grown. When it was finally sent to my house I tried it out and it worked the first time. Not only did it make him walk perfectly but he really seems to obey me more with it on. Which is great for a breed that tends to need a firm handling. Just make sure it fits properly.
