PetSafe Gentle Leader Padded No Pull Dog Headcollar

Every one who got a gentle leader must got a overly exciting friend on the walk. With the price, I would expect a better quality. I only got my gentle leader like a month ago. Only used it a few times, less than 10! And today when I took my dog out for a walk, this thing broke when my dog got excited. Luckily I had a back up collar or it would be a total nightmare to drag my 75lb malamute home.

My mastidor was impossible to walk on leash without pulling me along or simply being uncontrollable. Link didn’t like it when I first used it, but from the very first use it was like he was a different dog. Now he gets excited when he sees it (he knows it means a long walk). I’ve used a Gentle Leader with the last 3 dogs I’ve owned and hands down it is the best solution for dogs who pull!

I got this because we lost his Halti head collar and I noticed he was displaying a lot of reactivity when wearing his body harness and pulls A LOT! When he’s wearing his head collar he doesn’t pull so I decided to stop using the body harness and switch back to the head collar. I got this brand because it was on sale. The design can be a little confusing. It literally takes me a couple of tries every day to get it on right—-but when it’s on correctly it works really well and my 73lb Australian Shepherd does not pull. It also doesn’t get caught in his mouth like his old Halti head collar. And his leash reactivity has lessened significantly.

This gentle leader has saved my sanity on walks with the pup. He no longer darts from side to side, doesn't pull, and responds to the leash guidance better than he did in his harness. I HIGHLY recommend this product for walk training! You will not be sorry you purchased it. In terms of quality, it is pretty good. There is a little plastic clip that secures it around the dog's head in the back, and a metal ring that the leash attaches to under the snout. I have had this for about two weeks now and Archie is finally getting used to it, but still doesn't love having something around his head. He'll continue to adjust!

This has been excellent for walks and exciting situations. I use a leash on his harness and one on this gentle leader for extra exciting situations with other dogs. We can now go on walks with just the gentle leader leash, and has helped “heel” training tremendously.

This has been great for walks with my 7 mo Scottie. Our walks are so much more enjoyable now that she remains focused on the walk and not chasing cars and blowing leaves. Definitely use the treats to put on and carry treats for the walk to distract when they try to rub it off.

My husband dislikes when our 75lb Boxer pulls when we walk him. He suggested this collar, after the harness I purchased didn't do anything. It does a decent job of not allowing him to pull, however the collar tends not to always hold its place, once it was adjusted to his head size. I have secured it a few times and it still slips. Overall it does the job.

So I watched a few videos on recommended ways to introduce the gentle lead. I decided to go with associating a treat to put it on him. After a few attempts. I was able to get it around his muzzle and went to clip the second portion around his neck (mind you prior to I had properly measured everything out so it fit hi. Comfortably). He didn't like the lead, So I still kept feeding him treats which he took well too. When it was time to take the thing off, the clip wouldn't unclip. It got stuck, and now I'm stuck with an agitated and frantic dog while I try to figure out how to get this stupid thing from around him. Eventually I was able to slide it off from around his neck and over his head So I watched a few videos on recommended ways to introduce the gentle lead.

Had I continued to pull the clip or try to force it out, it would have broken. Everything about this feels cheap and I called chewy and requested a refund. Thankfully their customer service is top notch. I ended up trashing this because I would not feel right donating to a shelter with the clip still stuck. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I still recommend chewy though :) … more

I bought a collar, leash and gentle leader all in red . The collar and leash match great but the gentle leader doesn’t match . Same problem with the blue , collar and leash match but the gentle leader doesn’t. Can’t you make them so they all match ? And if they all come from different vendors go with someone who can make them match.

My 1 year old Golden Retriever used to pull a lot when she saw squirrels, birds or rabbits. The Gentle Leader has completely changed walks for us and she never pulls anymore! She finally walks right next to me with a loose leash (and lots of rewards). We get a lot of compliments on how well she walks and I always credit the Gentle Leader, it changed the game for us!
