PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar, No-Pull Dog Collar – Perfect for Leash & Harness Training

If necessary, nbsp I have a German Shepherd who is about 65 pounds but hates to walk. stressful. With the leash, she would pull so hard that she would choke me, my arm would feel like it was going to come out from under me, and my hand would be pink from holding the leash and stopping To see if switching her to a harness would help her so she wouldn't choke or pull, I tried switching her to a harness. Then I realized what I'd done As she pulled, I began searching for a solution to help her. The gentle leader caught my eye after reading reviews, so I ordered it. The fact that she had previously broken similar items appeared to be an issue, but I had nothing to lose by giving it a try. As soon as I got the gentle leader, I trained her with it according to the instructions. The day after I took her on her walk following her training, she enjoyed it. I felt like I was walking a different kind of puppy. I tried to pull her a couple times, but she just turned around and I had to face her. The cat pawed at it for a few seconds at first, but she soon adjusted. Both of us enjoy our walks now because we don't have to worry about anything. She does not show any chafe marks afterwards. The only thing that happens is that she develops an indentation on the bottom of her snout after long walks, but this goes away after a while. Since I've owned the generous leader for about a year, I really like it. If it breaks, I'll probably buy another one, it was definitely worth my investment. Every dog owner I know with a pulling dog should try it out.

When I first tried it on my dog, she did nothing but rub her nose and throw a fit trying to get it taken My goal was to make this leader associated with positive experiences over the course of about a week, by giving her treats and if necessary keeping it on her for short periods. After trying it for a while, it didn't seem to be effective for her, so I put it aside. Last week, I pulled it out again, put it on her, gave her a treat, and took her for a walk outdoors. Worked like a charm! It was this time that she accepted the offer. The exception to this is just a moment here and there, and she is not pulling at all. A walk with a different dog is like nothing you have ever experienced before. It is important to add here that I had skipped her walk for almost two weeks (an exceptionally long break Her frontal area reached the point where she began to feel nauseated Taking a break from the clip harness was not a hindrance anymore, so I decided to stop using it. It had been so long since she had gone for her daily walk that she was more than glad to ignore the gentle leader and focus on the things she had missed so much. Having returned to our daily walks, now we will resume the daily walk. is that now that I do not have to work so hard to correct her behavior, I am also having fun on the walk. Even though I do still put a harness on her, I only attach a leash to the head lead so I can grab it if I need to control her (which I do very rarely). In order to do so, I own a leash with a lighter clip attached. clip for attaching a leash to the harness is much thicker and heavier than the harness itself. There is only one thing I can say. A leader with a gentle touch wins - The winner is! I want to let you know about a new safety tip On a couple of occasions, I've come very close to death I was fortunate to avoid both of these incidents at the vet's office. There was a time when the lead became unclipped and another time, she cut her face off with the lead. In order to ensure that we have double-checked everything, In this attachment, I connect the leader to her collar, then I secure the base of the leash clip to the loop inside the collar with a carabiner. By doing so, even if she gets the leader off again or the leash becomes unclipped, the leash will still be attached (shown in the attached photo are comparisons between the left and right side of the leader and the setup I've described)

I find this setup does not interfere with walking or leader effectiveness.

If necessary, nbsp All of my purchases, except groceries, are made through Amazon. No reviews have ever been left for me either. It has changed my life so significantly that I feel it warrants After exactly one week of wearing this headcollar, I've developed a lot of tolerance. After watching several videos about it, I was able to fit it correctly. This is why fitting is so important - In order to ensure that the product works correctly, you need to fit it as tightly as possible. It took me two days to use it on my I just had to get her used to it by having it on while she ate all her meals and bribing her with Putting a strap across their face isn't going to be fun for dogs. There is a way to teach them that the headcollar is a sign that they can go out, and they will not Having a one-year-old pit bull whose pulling drove me crazy, we had to stop walking her (she used to get three mile walks every day) and drove her to the dog park instead. Last straw for me was when I took her hiking and she was pulling so much for five miles straight that I was unable to enjoy the view. With the gentle leader, my bf's dog, who is also a terrible puller, had success. The first time I took him for a walk to test it out, he was amazed. A dog collar was immediately ordered for me. It has proven to be a godsend to me within just five minutes of using it. With the gentle leader on, I like to walk my dog as if I were walking on It's obvious the cloud is there since there's some light tension from a change of direction, but otherwise, my dog seems to just float along as usual. The experience is similar to walking a dog at a dog show. This headcollar is a great option for dog owners who do not enjoy walking their pets. As she pulled, I would have to wrap the leash around my forearm, under my armpit, and over my shoulder to leverage my weight against her. The product allows me to carry a coffee in one hand and text with the other, while walking my dog with my pinky finger. My brother has the same product but does not like it because "it doesn't train the dog not to pull when the device is off". The goal of this product is not to replace training it is to make your life with your dog a lot more enjoyable. Spending money this year was the best thing I've ever done. It's just a matter of purchasing them. Throughout the video, you can see that there is slight slack in the leash (you won't want too much slack or else it can end up tangled since it hangs from under the dog's Walking my dog for the first time ever with my leash slack is a first for me. Additionally, the material has a tendency to stretch when If you want to achieve the perfect, lifetime fit, adjust a few days after you use it for walks.
