 Get your leadership position back; make your dog a follower January 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Whenever you are around your dog your dog is judging your ability to lead and most of us are failing without even knowing it. This dog halter really makes a big difference in your ability to gain the leadership position once again. You don't have to yank or cause your dog to choke.
It can not choke your dog or damage his or her neck. You don't have to be strong to be able to control a dog with this collar on. My 106 pound dog cannot pull me off my feet when wearing this collar even when he see a deer.
If your dog has been playing the leader for a while expect him or her to test the head collar by trying to get it off their nose over and over again. Don't whip out and give up the first time the dog fusses and wants the halter off. This collar is much gentler and safer to use than a choke collar of even a flat regular collar. Soon the fussing will end if you work with the dog each day.
I used this head halter on a very strong and domain male German Shepherd dog and he fought the collar off and on for nearly two and half months before finally wearing it with no bother. BUT for most dogs you will NOT get this long of a struggle for leadership.
The two dogs I am now using it on - a 106 pound GSD and a 34 pound ACD (blue heeler) mix are doing great with just few times each walk where they try to remove the collar. This will get less and less with time. The more a dog fights the collar the more they are showing you that they need it - that they have been in control all this time.
I am using the large size collar for my 106 pound dog. I am happy with the collar. Unless your dog eats the collar it will last for a great many years.
NOTE: never leave this halter on a dog that you are not walking, take it off and leave their regular flat collar on that has name tags.
This collar is much less cruel than letting your dog grow into a wild terror and then sending him to the animal shelter. Watch the dog whisper on TV.
P.S. I use clicker training along with this collar and highly recommend you try that to as it speeds the training process. Walk your dog for 30 minutes a day and you will have a GREAT dog and both of you will be happier and healthier too.
I live in the Louisiana pine woods with three dogs and one cat.
Really has made walks much better September 23, 2007

I have a 110 pound mutt who really is pretty smart. Most of the time. Unfortunately, once we go a on walk, he forgets that he is smart, and pulls like crazy. Of course, I'm sure I ultimately could have trained him not to pull, but after many tries, I got frustrated, he got frustrated, and we never got to enjoy our walks. The gentle leader works very well. He complained a little about it when we first got it, but I just had him wear it for a few minutes longer each day while giving him treats (he's very food motivated, except when it comes to not pulling my arm out of socket everytime he sees a bird when we are walking), so after about 4 days, he tolerated wearing it and our walks are delightful now.
You do need to be careful how you use it. You can't jerk the leash at all, but you don't need to, really.
I am a believer, and recommend the GL to anyone with a large dog who pulls.
After trying every collar out there... June 26, 2007

I've tried everything from standard choke chains, prong collars, body harnesses and other more gimmicky collars in an attempt to get my Boxer to stop pulling so excessively when we walk. I can certainly tolerate the occasional pull due to a squirrel or a rabbit, but my dog pulls constantly. So hard, in fact, that she is left gasping for air. With a body harness, she throws up after the walk because of the pressure on her stomach.
The Gentle Leader head harness is the only thing that she responds to. Another reviewer here calls this harness cruel and acts like it's meant to stop dogs from turning their heads and looking around. In reality, my dog is able to turn her head in any direction she likes, because most of the time there is no external pressure on the harness. A little tug when she walks ahead is all that's required to remind her to stay by my side.
She does paw at the harness for ten - fifteen seconds a few times per walk, but then it's over and she gets back to walking like nothing ever happened. This very minor and short-term discomfort is much less traumatic than her self-inflicted choking/throwing up from other collars.
I can't say enough good things about this collar. Not only is it not cruel, it is the first collar I've ever found that protects my dog from the pain she inflicts on herself during a walk.

I was reccomended this product by a dog training friend of mine. I have two dogs who both pull on the leash when we go on walks and trying to break them of the pulling habbit has not been easy. Yes, they had a problem at first as both of them tried to get it off, pulling at it with their paws. But, after a few minutes on the walk they stopped trying to get it off and were walking much better. It took months of walking with them on their gentle leaders but they really are better now. Definatley not perfect walkers but I will take what I can get, I didnt expect this thing to work miracles but for the amount of training that I do (somewhat minimal) this really helped.
