PetSafe Gentle Leader Chic Padded Dog Headcollar & Leash
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
The PetSafe Gentle Leader Chic Padded Dog Headcollar & Leash prevents pulling, lunging, jumping, and other undesired behaviors with immediate control. Unlike traditional collars, this leader places pressure on the back of the neck instead of the front of the delicate throat, preventing choking and coughing. The nose loop allows you to direct your pup’s head in the direction you want to go, training your dog to stop pulling and start paying attention during walks. Help refocus your furry friend’s attention away from the squirrel, dog, or stranger across the street, and keep him focused and calm when out and about.
Key Benefits- Reduces pulling on the leash and other unwanted behaviors such as barking, lunging, or jumping.
- A great accessory for training dogs to heel or focus by providing immediate gentle control.
- Collar sits high on your dog’s neck, keeping pressure on the back of the neck instead of the delicate throat.
- Adjustable nylon straps and neoprene padded nose loop provide maximum comfort for prolonged wear.
- Pick a fun and vibrant pattern that matches your pup’s personality best.

Precautions
Follow instructions carefully when fitting and using on bulldogs and other breeds with genetically limited airways or flat noses. It is typical for these dogs to frequently experience breathing difficulties when exercising or under stress because of their physically limited airways. If their usual breathing difficulties increase when wearing the head collar, immediately discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

Open neck strap and hold one end in each hand. The nose loop should hang down, like the letter T.
-
Position the neck strap as high up as possible, just behind the ears. Gently pull any excess skin and coat down and out from under the neck strap.
-
Neck strap must be snug so only one finger can fit under it, and it cannot rotate around the neck. If the neck strap rotates, so will the nose loop, which may cause chafing of the skin.
-
Remove the headcollar neck strap and prepare to fit the nose loop up through the centerbar ring. Be ready with some tasty treats.
-
Hold the nose loop open and feed a treat through the loop. You want to encourage your dog to place his nose through the loop by offering a treat.
-
Snap neck strap high on the neck at its pre-fitted position. Make final adjustment to nose loop by sliding the snap clamp up or down to adjust. With thumb and index finger, pinch nose loop underneath the snap clamp, temporarily holding it.
-
Test fit the nose loop by pulling it forward. When it touches the beginning of the fleshy part of the nose, but is not so loose that you can pull it off the nose, close snap clamp by pressing down on tab, you'll hear a snap as it locks. Connect leash to "O" ring.
-
Final fit. When properly fitted and viewed from the side headcollar will resemble a "V" and the center bar will rest above the tracheal area.
To select the most accurate size collar for your pet, measure the center of their neck with a cloth tape measure, a few inches down from their head. Pull the cloth tape measure snug, but not tight. If you don't have a cloth tape measure, you can use a piece of string and measure it with a rigid ruler afterwards. Make sure there’s enough room for about two fingers between the collar and your pet’s neck for comfort.

Green light dog? This is your collar!
By RickFoulkes on Dec 9, 2020
We have an extremely active and athletic rescue pup. Early in our training she would dive for a squirrel and on one occasion launched my wife’s niece. A trainer suggested the gentle leader. It is amazing how this simple leash corrects this behavior. Stormy has to spend five minutes rubbing her snout after a one hour walk. Otherwise it has been a perfect way for us to have our athletic walks and runs together without anyone being launched. I strongly recommend this product over spike collar’s which I see some owners resort too. It’s also quite good looking as you can see.

Great Leash for a Pulling Dog
By Joeworm on Jan 10, 2021
This headset halter works well with our 70+ pound greyhound mix. She was pulling like a sled dog previously & often pulled us off our feet. Walks were very unpleasant & often painful for the humans. After introducing Gentle Leader for several days for 10" or so, we were able to take her out on a walk. She didn't LIKE the strap around her snout, but she is getting used to wearing it & no longer drags her human along. Worth a try for problem walkers!

Great product!
By training on Jan 19, 2021
I tried a few products to keep my dog from pulling before purchasing this. I should have started here! It does take some getting used to but once your dog is acclimated the pulling stops! Great product! Bright colors true images on website

By Cloversowner on Nov 27, 2020
I got this from my dog when another head collar broke but my dog still was not trained to walk nicely so I got another one this comes with a DVD, instruction manual , leash, and the head collar and the leash is 4 foot I love this I would definitely recommend this for any dog that needs to be trained to heal and there’s nice patterns for them.

broke easily
By LuPru on Dec 29, 2020
I have a rottweiler golden retriever mix. This works okay with her, she still likes to pull with it though. This was the 2nd one in less than a year we bought. We're going to try a different brand because the clasp under the chin on this one has broken both times ;(

New walking chapter
By Avwoki on Dec 25, 2020
My puppy has a huge issue with eating every piece of bark or leaf she finds. We can’t get anywhere. I thought these were only used for pulling dogs but this has changed our walking life. I’m so happy I got this. Ease your puppy into it with lots of treats.

gentle leader in chic
By angela on Nov 9, 2020
i got both the poppy chic and the blue gentle leaders for my dogs. i got size small for both. my pomeranian has adjusted to it well and she seems less reactive and it only took a few days to get her used to it! on the other hand my american eskimo in the blue hasn’t gotten used to it and won’t walk with it on. it’s been a few months of praising with treats but we will keep trying!

Game changer!
By harness on Nov 24, 2020
This head harness has completely transformed my stubborn and remarkably strong 70 lb husky. Once she adjusted and we got the fit right, she became so much more relaxed on walks and no longer can pull like a maniac. This harness has made her easy to redirect, not painful and makes walking enjoyable.

Controlled walking
By Camille on Jan 11, 2021
My 3 year old Pittie is a great walker by my side with this gentle lead. She pulls badly with a regular collar and leash.

helps with my lab mix
By Catmom on Sep 2, 2020
My dog tends to pull on a leash, and is super excited about other animals and people. I’ve tried martingale collars, a pinch collar (at a trainer’s recommendation), and even Cesar Milan’s high neck collar. The pinch collar worked, but I didn’t like using it so stopped. The high neck collar gave me better control, but there was still a lot of pulling. This gentle leader has been fantastic! My dog is 90lbs and walks have been so hard. But now they are enjoyable again! He didn’t like it at first, but now wears its well. I am nervous so also used a martingale/leash combo as backup in case he pulled hard. But I have never had to use the backup as the pulling has stopped.
