Product Description
Are you a frustrated dog owner struggling with constant jumping up, barking, chewing, begging, and pulling on the leash? The Gentle Leader Head Collar may be your saving grace. This specially designed head collar fits your dog in such a way that with one firm pull, your dog gets the message. The nose loop gently closes your dog's mouth which is an immediate symbol of authority, similar to how wild dogs display who's boss. More importantly, the Gentle Leader is NOT a muzzle. While your dog wears the Gentle Leader, he is able to vocalize, eat, drink, and pant as normal. The tough, yet soft nylon straps are comfortable, too. Try the Gentle Leader Head Collar with your problem pup- you may be surprised with the results.This collar is scientifically designed to work with your dog's natural instincts to control unwanted behavior, results occur in minutes--not weeks. Comes with a free training DVD and a complete training guide booklet.Dogs of all sizes pull on standard collars and harness due to a natural instinct to pull against pressure. This collar's unique design counters that instinct in two ways: 1. Pressure is applied to the back of the neck (rather than the front) reducing your dog's drive to pull forward. 2. It works like a halter on a horse--where the nose goes, the body will follow.Other features: it has an adjustable nose loop for custom fit; won't come off over dog's head--no need for safety straps or awkward double-leashing; converts to a regular collar for greater flexibility; begining as early as 8-10 weeks of age, it can be worn by your puppy or dog whenever you want to prevent leash pulling, lunging, jumping, barking, etc.Size:This collar is good for dogs 25 to 60 pounds such as: Dalmations, Pointers, Spaniels, Sight Hounds, etc.

 Gentle Leader is magic June 28, 2007
zoo mom
This is a great tool--if you can train your dog to wear it--. It has been a life or rather arm saver during walks. I would highly recommend it. Make sure you watch the video --I felt it was useful. Also, not sure about the other review--that is how wolves act in the wild. This is a kind, effective way to train a dog.
 Not Positive, and Not Scientific January 1, 2007

The Gentle Leader is advertised as a scientifically designed, positive training device. It's neither. So before you buy into the hype and purchase an item you'll eventually discard (if you love your dog, that is) you should know that dogs hate this device. It feels totally unnatural to them. Its so-called "scientific" design is based on the way a supposed alpha wolf enforces his authority by aggressively gripping a subordinate around the muzzle with his teeth. (Nice, huh?) Since we now know that the alpha theory is false, the rationale behind this torture device for dogs is equally bogus. (Wild wolf packs do not form dominance hierarchies or spend time trying to show each other who's boss by grabbing each other around the snout; such behaviors are only produced when wolves are forced to form unnatural packs while living in captivity.) A device that mimics a totally unnatural act of aggression cannot be considered positive.
As a dog trainer, and just as a human being who loves dogs and hates to see them being mistreated, I cannot stress strongly enough that this device should not be used on any dog, ever.
So what do you do to keep your dog from pulling? Dogs don't really pull on the leash so much as they get pulled on by things in the environment that stimulate and attract their instincts. So the trick to training a dog NOT to pull is to play games, like "chase me" and "tug-of-war", that will make YOU more interesting and more appealing to his instincts than the things in the environment are.
