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.

Try this before trying a prong collar!
By Erin on Mar 15, 2021
This leash made a huge difference for my beagle puppy who pulls like crazy on walks! The difference was huge from the first time we tried it. She doesn’t love it and it does take awhile for dogs to get used to, but this is a great training tool - she stops mid-walk now because she’s stubborn and wants to lead, but she’s learning that she’s not the one in control. Only giving 4/5 stars as the clip is not very sturdy/tight and we have to stop to adjust it as we walk.

Perfect head lead for our labsky
By Kiley on Mar 17, 2021
I love the print - Wish there were a few more options, but it gets the job done. My labaky has had a hard time with leash training, and thankfully due to previous interaction and recommendation, I snagged this for our Buddy. So far so good. Definitely a big help with gentle walks. Thanks Chewy. Super satisfied.

Very gentle - be patient!
By Beckettsmom on Mar 4, 2021
It takes a long time for a dog to get used to this collar. Be patient and sometimes walk your dog with the collar on, but connect the leash to their regular collar. I've had this product for a few weeks and she's still stopping to rub her face on the ground to remove it - But when she pulls, it DOES work by pulling her back to face me.

Really works!
By PoodleMama on Mar 26, 2021
Watch the video. It’s made a huge difference and she’s learning from it. If you’re dog is pulling you around like you’re on a sled, this is a great solution. Introduce the gentle lead slowly as recommended.

Hard to buckle
By Jenny on Mar 7, 2021
This is ultra cute. I got the bone design but compared to the one I got from petsmart the clamp is so hard to work with for my fingers! I'll be using the old rusty one until I make the trip to petsmart next time. I'm disappointed

Green light dog? This is your collar!
By Foulkes 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 Small 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

Not training worthy
By Theebin on Mar 8, 2021
Way to light weight, small and the leash is short. Also the donut l pattern is so pink everyone will think your male dog is female.
