wintchuk Dog Head Collar, Fabric Padded Head Collar for Dogs to Prevent Pulling, Adjustable Dog Head Harness

I can finally walk my goofy doberman with my strong legs. A 96 lb male doberman with crazy bro dog personality lives with me. We take him out for walks with him and he's a big sweetie and good boy. However, he has the attention span of a gnat whenever we go. As he aged, I thought training would get easier as he got older like it did for the female doberman, but he just got less attentive. It has gotten much stronger for him. Here are some points we have learned along the way When I had reached the end of my patience, I tried training with a prong collar and used it twice To be honest, I was reluctant to use it in the first place, but I really had no other We tried it several times, but the big lug literally would rather die pulling than perceive it as a stop request, even after we practiced stopping and fed it chicken jerky Additionally, it was clear he didn't understand pulling was a bad thing, so it was like training a really dense idiot, but one that was cute! If he's simply denying his pulling has anything to do with that, it would be unfair to label him bad. In the past, I have always refused to use muzzles or head collars because the negative stereotypes people have of dobermans are untrue. It is so common for sweet shop owners to perpetuate Hollywood stereotypes by dressing their sweet shop owners in celebrity outfits Dog owners wish to make their natured dobermans look "cool" by dressing them up in tough gear. In the end, I opted for soft muzzles. This harness has minimal padding, but because it is loose around his mouth, I wanted just enough to prevent his fur from getting rubbed, but not too much so that it looks like a muzzle, or restricts him, especially on hot days (sun out, tongue out). The collar is in the relaxed position and he can open and close his mouth freely. I don't think he's trying to rip it off because he's a good boy. I experimented with this and it worked the very first time. Still, he likes to pull, but he adapts quickly. It doesn't seem as if I'm even holding onto myself any more. As soon as he pulls back, his head will turn him back and I'll finally be able to walk instead of being dragged by his silly If he is off leash, he doesn't care if he has the collar on he will quickly go back to get clipped when he is out of leash. We were really pleased with how this Dogs are all unique, as I am sure you know. If your trainee is hard-pulling and has a short attention span, then this could be worth a shot. It's great that I won't have to choke him as part of my The boy is such a good boy, he makes me smile all the time I am eager to focus my attention on training during hikes/walks. THINK ABOUT THIS Whenever the dog pulls it off or finds it irritating, encourage the dog to wear it at home for a while with lots of reassurance, kisses and treats, so that they get used to it (and don't perceive it as a punishment) before using You'll find it's less likely that they'll pull it off if they think of it as an accessory, like a normal neck collar.

The padded aspect of this is wonderful. I found the clamp to be sturdy and reliable A lock keeps the door closed. The thin muzzle and lead I purchased at Petsmart cost me more than at Petco The clamp broke on two. When I learned the lesson, I simply used a clamp that didn't break on both Amazon was the first place I went. This is my first time using it and I just got back from my 1st walk with it. I am glad to hear that.

A clamp is not provided on mine. She wears it loosely around her muzzle and has a metal ring on the top of it As a result- Whenever she pulls, the ring tightens up, but if she is not pulling, it is so loose that it can be easily shaken In the listing, the clamp is mentioned, but it is not shown in the photos. This has been a frustrating experience for me, and is probably going to require some type of clamp. Having upgraded my rating to 4 stars, I'm now giving it 5 It was the best walk of my life because I took my dog for a walk even though she was too large to walk. Her attention was quick, and she ignored all Two of the dogs (the other dogs) were a big distraction. By bucking, she was able to escape. Unfortunately, I bought a smaller one (that came with a clamp) that was too small for me. This is being returned to you. As long as I can get my hands on a medium one with an adjustable clamp I will buy it since even too big, To make it more tight, I just need to increase the distance.

I don't like how bulky it is and it is even less impressive that my puppy chewed on it whilst on the walk (I have been using gentle leaders for years so no, I didn't put it on incorrectly and that is the right My general plan is to stick with the brand of gentle leader that I have been using for my Shepard mix, but I will deliver what you requested.

I ordered a large as per the chart, and then when it came in and we tried it on, I followed the instructions on the card to exchange it We can say "wow, that was fast" before you can say "wow, that was fast" I was surprised to receive an envelope at my door with 2 replacements, as well as the original large, and I didn't even have to exchange it. In addition to the two extras we have now, we will also donate )*I will admit the collar is well made, but I am skeptical how it will endure against larger dogs Dogs with a higher level of aggression. After we realized the problem, our little 60lb Dane mix instantly stopped pulling, and our walks have been so much more enjoyable since then.

It's not even close to the price of the other crap i've purchased so I thought wth, I'll give it a go, she hates it, but I can still walk along the side walk when a smaller dog comes and control her very easily. During my ride home last night, I noticed she knows how to put it on and take it off since she had it on during the trip. So, I took it off and put it in my pocket. Sadly, I lost the collar last night and had to use the collar for the first time. Wow! The woman kept dragging me along because she was so demanding! We had to call my teen son to help us! As a matter of fact, I just ordered a second one! That was such a great deal! It really works. I apologize for my rambling, but I had to tell u all how much I love this product!.
