Gentle Leader is Excellent!
PostedMay 18, 2006
Walking with Wisdom
from Cusseta,AL
During our first canine education class ,the instructor suggested that we try a headcollar type of collar and lead for our cocker spaniel.He was acting overly aggressive toward other dogs,and pulling us toward them to the point we lost control of him.We debated the purchase due to the cost,but finally decided to give it a try.After watching the instructional video,we fitted the gentle leader on him,and took him to class.With his gentle leader on,he became,just that,gentle.One attempt was made to pull,and he stopped immediately.Amazing! He is four years old,and nothing else has worked,and the gentle leader did! Needless to say,he finished canine education,and actually gets along with every canine he mets:)
We also tried the gentle leader on our other dogs that wished to pull instead of walk.Instantly they became great walkers.It works so well our 2 year old granddaughter can walk them with no trouble.
We have used the very same collar for several dogs to date,and it has proven to be well worth the investment.
After having the initial debate over to purchase or not,we would pay 10 times as much for the results we have had.We recommond the gentle leader to everyone that needs to become the leader of their pack.Thank you so much for such a wonderful product.

Without the Gentle Leader my dog would seem to be like a feral creature on a leash. With the Gentle Leader she minds well, stays close to me even when other dogs are present, and follows my direction. While she makes it clear she doesn't like the Gentle Leader it makes taking her on a walk manageable and fun for both of us.

Finally enjoying our walks

ElkhoundLover99
from Washington State
Easy to follow instructions helped us assemble and "install" the head collar. Our dog isn't so pleased with it, but he wants to go on his walks. This allows us to keep him under control. I always worry he'll wrench his neck because he still pulls, so that means I have to really pay attention when I'm walking him.

I have been struggling to train my dog to walk, I have trained many dogs before, but she just wouldn't go for walks nicely until now. I was completely astonished and relieved at how instantly it works. She fought it a bit, however, I just kept on walking and she got use to it. I highly recommend this for every dog, even then dogs who are easier to walk.

The best training tool
PostedFebruary 21, 2013
Nashga5
from Bartow,FL
I have been using the gentel leader for 8 yrs now. I have a GS lab mix who is Alpha agressive. When we would take her for walks she would try to charge other dogs. We were told about the gentle leader and it has been a Godsend! With the leader on she is a well manner little lady. I now have 2 rottie-mutts who could drag me anywhere they wanted if they were on a regular leash, but they don't. I can walk all three girls together and not have a bit of problems. I recommend this iteam to EVERY dog mom/dad I meet. This is an excellet product...I REFUSE to use a choker chain or pincher collar on my babies, especially with such a wonderful and humane product on the market. It will take time for stubborn strong willed puppies to "get the hang of it", but give them 5-10 minutes a day for several days and give treats and praise and you will be amazed at the difference in you pup.

Horrible!
PostedJanuary 3, 2013
NYCHuskyMom
from New York
The gentle leaders was recommended to me by an associate at petco. I bought two gentle leaders because I have six huskies and they all pull. I took out one of my huskies for a run and the collar broke in half and my husky went running across a busy street! I nearly lost my mind she doesn't listen when her name is called and she was running away so fast I couldn't keep up! It took me 5 minutes to find her I thought she was gone but luckily she was chasing squirrels and I was able to grab her before something worse happened. I am scared to use the gentle leader on the rest of my dogs and will return them all ASAP! Do not use this unless you want to lose your dog! Horrible and poorly made!

Walking my GS (1 1/2yrs old) was something I didn't like doing. I'm small so I had a hard time being in control with him, my husband would have to be the one to walk him. The gentle leader is easy to put on and nice that they are still able to drink and eat. It works great, I am now able to walk the dog and he doesn't pull or drag me. I am able to control him when a car drives by or another dog walks by.

Effective restraint for large dogs
PostedDecember 3, 2012
RollingThundr
from Boston, MA
This is my second time purchasing the Gentle Leader. My dog doesn't like to wear it, but it is effective. My one nit with this product is that the amount of fabric for the collar is excessive, for the biggest sized dog head that I can imagine. So I decided to cut the excess fabric so that it was not dangling. When I did this, it now means that the collar connector can slip off of the end of the collar. Which it did, and was lost. Hence, the reason that I had to buy a second Gentle Leader.

not for my dog
PostedNovember 1, 2012
Laurabun
from OH
This headcollar would probably be great for other dogs, but not mine. She fought it constantly and yes, I'm sure I put it on correctly. Even after wearing it for 14 hours, she would paw at it, rub her head on the ground, anything to try and remove it. While I had her leashed, it worked only fairly well. She's very strong and stubborn (part Boxer) and I don't think I'll be able to get her used to wearing and training with this product. I am going a step further and have ordered a shock collar. I'm not proud that I haven't been able to train her by any other method. But at this point I'm at my wits end. She has torn up our living room twice, jumps on the furniture and completely ignores any attempts to restrain her. So, as I said, this headcollar would probably be great for other dogs and their humans, but not for me and mine.

RescuePetLuvr
from Clarkston, WA
This is the only product I've found that makes my newly adopted rescue dog not pull while going on walks. Took a couple times for him to get use to it. Like it said, the ones who fight it the most usually need it the most. Treats helped this quickly. Now he walks right beside myself or my children (who ever is holding the leash) like a well mannered dog.

With two medium sized dogs, both with bully breeds in them, walking them by myself was no easy task. My older dog can walk very well, however, my 1 year old puppy needed some focus on our walks. The gentle leader is a great tool, that harms the dog less than choke chains, and prong collars,and does not cause as much resistance from the dog as harness. It is sturdy and easy to use when used correctly, and allows anyone to control any size dog, by redirecting the focus on walks.

Perfect for Dogs Like Mine

Ala3
from Hilo,HI
I have two dogs. An Australian Shepherd and a Rotweiler Heeler Mix. They both use to pull ahead and by the end of their walk my arm would hurt from trying to constantly pull them back. Once I started to use this collar they quickly learned that pulling ahead would make themselves uncomfortable and they stopped. They didn't like the feeling of the collar on their face at first but they soon adjusted to the feeling.

This has worked beautifully for our great dane puppy. He is growing quicker than he is learning his manners of walking on a regular leash so the gentle leader has worked wonders. Our puppy also loves to eat anything on the ground. I can redirect his head without pulling his neck from what he is trying to get to. It also works for those dogs who tend to pull. Ours does not pull all the time but on occasion he is a puller (new people around, deer in the yard). Overall, I would recommend the gentle leader to anyone who wants gentle yet firm and effective tool to walk your dog.
Just don't keep him in it 24 hours a day.

We use this collar with our puppy who is 7 months and it works wonderfully. She would pull a lot on the leash and try to nip at ankles but this collar allows us to control her head gently. Now we can take wonderful family walks and hikes and all enjoy ourselves.

Hi,
I have a 40lb Aussie Shep that we rescued. She is unsocialized, and fearful/ aggressive towards other animals and people.She also pulled my arm out of socket while walking on a leash! I tried the halter lead that "guaranteed to stop pulling" and it did not phase her. She still pulled me down the street. Took that back, and got the gentle leader, and it is like night and day! I have a new dog! It took her about 5 mins of bucking and thrashing trying to get it off, to realize it wasn't coming off. Then she settled and was ok. She still will occasionally try to pull it off her nose. BUT SHE WALKS DOWN THE STREET, NO MORE DRAGGING ME AROUND! Walks, like a new dog! She is still fearful (obviously) of people and animals, but I have more control of her to walk past them now. She was dragging me around, and no more. I love this thing! I know it looks like a torture device, but if you have a dog that needs to learn not to pull, and that you need more control over- this is the lead for you! It is not a torture device, tho I will warn you to tighten up the nose strap until you know how the dog will react. Too loose and the dog can pull it right off.
Overall, I love it! Wish I had bought this long ago!

I will never use flex leashes again. If you have trouble with walking or controlling your dog on a leash, a standard 4 ft leash and this collar is perfect. No pulling struggling and playing tug of war. It also comes with a instructional DVD. I even bought a second one for my other dog and we enjoy our walks now!! Well worth every penny!
