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.

Great, Stylish Collar
By Kimiwili on Nov 28, 2021
The Gentle Leaders are amazing and we've used them as harnesses and headcollars for many years. I didn't realize that I was going to receive a beautiful leash with this headcollar! It's super stylish as well as great for my bouncy wheatens who like to pull on their leashes. I bought this one for my senior wheaten girl since her harness has been matting her long hair terribly. I love these and can't recommend them highly enough!

Cute and durable
By DytRVT on Oct 16, 2021
I love that Petsafe is offering printed gentle leaders now. I love the gentle leader and it has corrected my dogs pulling overnight. We took this with us on a hike and she did great. I will say that if you read the instructions to fit it, then it’s very difficult to fit it onto a dog with a small head and a big mouth cause the nose loops slips off easily.

life changing
By Emily on Sep 20, 2021
Love this item, recommended by our vet, for our pit mix that loves to pull. Harnesses just made her pull more but the minute we put this on she walked next to us. She doesn't like it, but she likes walks so she deals with it. She has been able to swipe the part that goes around her muzzle and knock it off, but we just stop and put it back on. It does take a bit of work to figure out how to fit it, and then there is a learning curve, but it's gotten us back out and walking our dog again, no more of her dragging us, now we can pleasantly walk her.

Good quality, but rubs under front arm
By OPSteel on Nov 28, 2021
Caused a swollen lymph node under front leg after a couple of uses. It is not too tight, but she does pull a lot still. I need to get a harness that does not wrap under front legs.

Gentle Leader Works Great!
By PuppyLove on Oct 11, 2021
My puppy was pulling hard on other types of collars and harnesses. This gentle leader has made it much easier to take him for walks without the pulling. It mostly does not bother him, just occasionally. But he likes it because he knows it means a nice long walk!

This is the best
By Bestcollar on Nov 20, 2021
This head collar is finally the lead that helps keep my pooch in line and behave on walks. I wish we’d found this sooner.

Need Superman’s fingers to open/close the clip.
By BearsMom on Jul 8, 2021
I purchased three of these after I got yanked down and dragged by three big dogs. After many failed attempts to figure this thing out lol I finally got it on. However I had to use an incredibly amount of pressure to close the clip under her chin. She didn’t like that because I kept moving her head around trying to close it. I assumed the clip was just new and after it was used once it would looses up. Once we succeeded in our fitting I tried to undo the clip. Nope wasn’t budging.....After snapping my thumbnail off I decided to use a tool but promptly punched her under her mouth near throat when it released. I was griping and groaning that I’d have to go through an exchange process and moved on I purchased three of these after I got yanked down and dragged by three big dogs.

I saw another review that said the clip would slip so was this their solution? Lol so unless your thumb is Superman quality I suggest you look for another brand. … more

sized by weight not neck size as shown
By ropi on Aug 12, 2021
unfortunately when I received this I thought I ordered the wrong size. I ordered correctly according to the description of neck size. it says for dogs 25 to 60 lbs. on the package. The size description in Chewy is sized by neck size, so I ordered a medium for my 15 lb dog. I will have to find out how to return.

So pleased
By Dogmom on Jul 22, 2021
I’ve been trying a lot of different harnesses and collars for my 11 pound Morkie but nothing was fitting right. So frustrating. This arrived today and was so easy to fit and put on her. We went for a walk right away and it worked great. Plus the poppy pattern is so cute. I’m going to order another one in a different pattern for variety. Highly recommend.
