Description

Make walks with your dog more enjoyable with the PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar. Its design places pressure on the back of the neck instead of the delicate throat. When your dog pulls, lunges or jumps the Gentle Leader gently moves his head and body back towards you. This places your dog's focus back on allowing you to lead the walk. The Gentle Leader can also be used to train your dog to heel. Most dog's quickly adjust to the Gentle Leader Headcollar and learn to stop the unwanted leash behavior.

  • - Reduce or eliminate pulling on leash and can be used to train dogs to heel
  • - Neck strap and nose loop adjust for a custom fit
  • - Pressure applied at back of neck instead of throat to prevent choking and gagging
  • - Allows dogs to open mouth to eat, drink, pant, fetch and bark
  • - Includes fitting instructions, training guide and comprehensive DVD

Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this headcollar for transforming difficult walks into calm, enjoyable experiences. Most report it dramatically reduces pulling and improves control, especially for strong or energetic dogs, allowing them to walk confidently without strain. Success requires proper fitting—neck strap tightly secured behind ears—and patient introduction with treats. Some dogs initially resist or paw at the collar, and a few note the nose loop can cause rub marks or the plastic clip may snap in cold weather. Despite minor drawbacks, most customers consider it a game changer that restores enjoyable walks.

Amazing transformation!!!

MeInNYC

I’m adopted a puppy who has really been excited on our walks- and because I live in a city (and don’t have my own outdoor space) - I have to walk him 3-5 times a day. Within the first 6weeks - I injured my shoulder, foot and fingers from him pulling so much and having very little control - despite training him diligently. He also stops from almost every dog. We would come home from most walks with him coughing from all the tugging on his trachea. I also started dreading our walks because my body is suffering and it is just unpleasant to walk him. I purchased the gentle leader yesterday and have seen dramatic improvement! I’m in awe and truly grateful for this product. I’m actually looking forward for of our morning walk tomorrow!

great product, would be better if there was a wider band option for XL breed dogs.

We bought these collars for both of our large bread dogs. We dreaded walking them because they basically were walking use and dragging us. Last night, we put the collars on and went for a walk. It was so much better. I told my husband I could not wait to write a review, but he told me to wait until we tried again. Tonight we walked them again. They are so well behaved. The walks are like night and day. I already told one of our friends about it. I will be telling others that are going through the same problem. We are so grateful for this remedy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The function of this is great and had my dog to stop pulling in the leash as well and it fit perfectly fit perfectly over his face and the durability is wonderful.

This is definitely the WORST headcollar I have ever purchased. My 12 week GSD keeps escaping it and fights it constantly. Definitely returning this item to store TODAY

Extremely disappointed

Save your money! We purchased the medium size for our 50# pointer / lab mix, set it up per the instructions, got the dog acclimated to where she was comfortable. She walked fine until a neighbor approached, she instantly jumped and lunged and the plastic 'quick snap' immediately pulled apart knocking a three year old girl to the ground (fortunately she wasn't hurt but it could have been bad). I had seen reviews criticizing the plastic locking 'snap clamp' and was happy to see that they changed it to metal, now they need to do the same thing with the 'quick snap'. They claim this is for extreme pullers but it is grossly underdesigned.

You should not advertise better walks on 1st use

Purchased this product, and it has some vague instructions on the back of the box, but no detailed instructions. The front of the box says better walks on first use, with ZERO advice to acclimate or train their dog, implying you simply put in and go. This risks a traumatic experience which leads to a lot more work, as well as a very unpleasant experience that could have been avoided. Shame on you!

Mostly, it worked for us until it got a little too loose and he chewed through the lead... :-o

How do I determine what size I need for kitty? Thank you

  1. Thank you for your question. Make sure your cat can stretch out comfortably, but don't get one that is too big. Cats feel more secure and comfortable in smaller places. You may want to measure your cat from his head to the base of his tale and add a few inches for comfort.
