Experience the magic of stress-free walks with your dog using the PetSafe Gentle Leader No-Pull Dog Headcollar. This revolutionary lead leash for dog training, designed by a veterinary behaviorist, is the most effective solution to curb your dog’s pulling habit. No pull leashes for large or small dogs, like the Gentle Leader Headcollar, operate by interrupting your dog’s natural instinct to pull against pressure. This no pull dog leash for large dogs wraps around your dog’s nose, so when he pulls, it gently turns his head towards you, allowing him to refocus his attention on you and away from other distractions. The Gentle Leader Headcollar, a training leash for dogs that pull, prioritizes comfort in its design with minimal straps to keep your dog cool. Crafted from durable nylon with a padded neoprene nose loop, it’s the best leash for pulling dogs, ensuring ultimate comfort during extended periods of wear. Although this training toll rests on your dogs snout, it doesn’t work like a muzzle. Dog leads for walking, like the Gentle Leader Headcollar, offer ease of fitting thanks to the quick-snap neck strap and adjustable nose loop. However, this no pull harness for large dogs won’t fit our furry friends with short snouts like pugs or bulldogs. If you have a dog with a short snout, check out our Easy Walk No-Pull Dog Harness. Investing in PetSafe, the maker of this dog mouth harness, means more than just buying a product; it’s a commitment to quality and customer care. As a trusted global leader in pet behavior, containment, and lifestyle innovations since 1998, PetSafe’s no pull dog harness is dedicated to keeping your pet healthy, safe, and happy.

Gentle Leader causes dramatic and immediate positive changes, but has vulnerabilities
The Gentle Leader has dramatically changed for the better how our dog behaves on walks and runs. Our dog is an extremely strong and athletic 50 pound pointer-pit bull mix. With only a chest-attachment harness (or a back-attachment harness), he pulls constantly and lunges at whatever he wants (rabbits, cats, dogs, or whatever, whether close or far, real or imagined). With the Gentle Leader, these problems decrease by 90% or more. He still may try to lunge when he gets excited for his target, but it is easy to give him a moderate tug to control his behavior. There is no longer any risk he will pull one of us off our feet or take himself into danger. Walks and runs with him now are truly pleasant. It’s made a huge difference in our relationship with him.There are some costs to get these benefits. First, we followed the manufacturer’s directions on how to get the dog comfortable with the Gentle Leader. These directions worked for us, although he still doesn’t like wearing it, even now after a month of multiple times a day use. Sometimes he tries to paw away it, and if we don’t stop him quickly, he’ll take it off. Fortunately, he’s distracted enough during a walk or run that he rarely tries to take it off during those times. Also, a couple of times during a run the Gentle Leader came off (for some unknown reason, but not due to his pawing at it). All of these episodes highlight a vulnerability of the Gentle Leader: it’s not a heavy duty standalone harness or collar. Any dog that needs a Gentle Leader likely has problems behaving well on walks or runs. We read prior reviews before buying the Gentle Leader and noticed that some customers had experienced it falling off or breaking while their dogs were wearing one. Therefore, what we have done from the beginning is to attach the leash to the Gentle Leader AND to a chest-attachment harness (we added some links of chain and a carabiner to give some extra slack to the connection with the harness). This way, if/when the Gentle Leader fails, we will still have a good way to hold on to our dog. We think the manufacturer designed the Gentle Leader appropriately so that it is lightweight and comfortable for the dog. But for most dogs that need the Gentle Leader, it’s probably not enough, so other connections to the leash may be necessary as an insurance policy against a failing Gentle Leader. A dog with all of these connections can look a little like Hannibal Lecter from the “Silence of the Lambs” movie, but that’s a small price to pay for ensuring the dog’s safety and good behavior on walks and runs.

A Game-Changer for Dogs That Pull
We have a three-year-old golden retriever who is generally very well-behaved, except on walks. He pulls constantly, making it difficult to enjoy walks. Weâve tried every harness and special leash out there, but nothing worked. A friend recommended the Gentle Leader, and it has been an absolute game-changer. From the moment we put it on, he stopped pulling and walked calmly by our side.He does occasionally try to rub it off by rolling in the grass, but for the most part, heâs completely fine wearing it. When we got a new golden retriever puppy, now six months old, we experienced the same pulling issues as well as a lot of barking on walks. We decided to try the Gentle Leader for her as well, and it worked perfectly. She even stopped barking as much.Both of our dogs wear a size medium. I initially doubted it would fit the puppy, but after reading reviews, I decided to give it a try. The adjustable design made it easy to tighten it for her smaller size now and loosen it as she grows.If youâre struggling with a dog that pulls, I highly recommend the Gentle Leader. Itâs the only way weâve found to enjoy peaceful, stress-free walks with our dogs!

55+ years w/ 2-3 dogs at a time in our lives and this is indeed the best no-pull ever!
My wife and I have had many dogs in our lives over the last 55+ years. Typically there is always 2 or 3 dogs in our happy pack!We have a box full of every lead, collar and full harness design you can imagine.We’ve tried them all. Some do help, but, do not fully allow complete control of your dog’s pulling, lunging, chasing, and desire to pull you along wherever they go.We’ve tried prongs as well. Nope, no go.The PetSafe Gentle Leader/Headcollar is indeed the very best design we’ve ever used, …period.It’s design, unlike any other, defeats the ability of a dog to pull with its body and/or neck using most of its major body strength.With this PetSafe design, All of its efforts and pull can only be done using its muzzle where there is very little leverage nor strength to pull hard with only it’s muzzle and not the rest of its body. ..and the harder it pulls, the more your dog’s head is pulled the opposite direction of where it intended to go!This headcollar is a marvel since it’s only made of a few narrow pieces of nylon, but, it works perfectly based on the principles of using the dogs pulling force again it at the muzzle position!The added benefit is this Headcollar is on and off in seconds. A far cry from the no tug harnesses we used to use.Lastly, we had an issue where a dog got loose, ran over towards my dog and he reacted intensely, trying to pull away from me quite hard while facing me, but, this lightweight Headcollar held up just fine and the metal buckle to adjust the sizing for the strap that goes around the muzzle held sizing position without any slippage at all.We got our first one for a Golden Retriever puppy here and it worked so well, we ordered a larger size for our adopted 4 year old mix (who thought he was in charge for all daily walks) and this design has completely solved all issues for control of our dogs while walking.In the two weeks both have been using it, as soon as it goes on, they “know” that “resistance is futile”!If you are at wits end for something, (anything!) to get back 100% control of your dog when walking, this IS the Headcollar to buy.We plan to donate a box full of now un-used harnesses and collars that while still having plenty of life left in them, (but) none of them will ever compare to what this PetSafe Headcollar can do.5 stars all around. Give this one a try. You’ll be glad you did!

Yep. Should have bought this a year ago…It works perfectly! Took our bernedoodle for 5 minute walks at first, giving him treats. He rolled around on the grass and used his paws to remove it a few times. But today when we went out he walked right beside us as he knew he would get lots of praise and treats. We walked for 20 minutes zero issues. He was happy and fine and my arm was happy to not be tugged at the entire walk. The straps don’t hurt his face as he has a lot of fur and we don’t have to worry about it strangling him. Very simple and easy to use.

I have a very small chihuahua that everyone likes to call the “terrorist” because of how reactive he is on walks. Constantly lunging after other dogs and pulling on the leash, I’ve been looking for AGES for a head collar that would fit his small head. He’s about 10lbs and has a very short snout which made it very difficult to find one that would work for him. I did have to have it altered because he’s got a fat neck (lol), but otherwise there were no issues. You definitely have to work with your dog to get them used to it, but this works miracles, I swear! Now whenever he tries to pull, he quickly realizes he can’t. He will see another dog, try to pull and be corrected by the head collar. I never thought I would see the day my little terror didn’t lunge for other dogs. Highly recommend!

Es un excelente cabestro sin duda lo comprarÃa, mi perro es una cruza de Akita con collie es grande y fuerte y de jalaba mucho en los paseos con este simple y sencillo cabestro se resolvió ese problema en minutos, al principio es difÃcil para el perro y trata de quitárselo pero solo fue en el primer dÃa y si lo colocas de manera correcta no lo lastima y funciona perfecto, las instrucciones vienen en inglés pero en YouTube hay video de ese mismo collar para que lo coloques de manera correcta

My 1.5 year old dog was a heavy heavy puller and I had severe shoulder pain. Walking him everyday felt like a nightmare . Thatâs when I decided to get the gentle leader and it completely changed my life! He walks like a breeze and The walks are so so enjoyable for both me and him. Highly highly recommend for all the pet parents who are struggling with leash pulling ð«¶ð¼ð¶
