PetSafe Gentle Leader Padded No Pull Dog Headcollar

I’m a 55 LB goldendoodle and proud of my strength! When my mom or dad are walking me I pull them to a nice friendly dog or a child so that everyone can be happy. I know they weigh more that twice as me, but before this harness I was able to pull them sheer across a whole field if there was someone I knew they needed to wag tails at! But now, I have to wait for them to decide when we should go see other dogs. We are more of a team. I tell them with my wagging tail and excitement and then they let me know if it’s time to stay or go with the way they pull or don’t pull on the leash. I think they are happier now.

Boxer is reactive to large dogs but still loves to go for walks and runs and be in public. This gentle leader allows for me to take him out without worrying that I will have to play tug of war when we see another dog out or worry about him overpowering me. He’s never had issues with pulling during walks (unless he sees a dog of course) but even so, I have still noticed an improvement in him matching my pace.

We love the Gentle Leader Headcollar. Our dog responds beautifully to it - walking with a loose leash, turning and stopping with us, whereas he pulls forever with a regular collar. It's not big and bulky like other brands that end up looking like a muzzle. Yes, we get a few questions asking if he's wearing a muzzle/does he bite, but we can quickly dispell that with "it's like a horse's halter", though in actuality, it works more like a bridle. We love this product. Bought a 2nd for our travel trailer so we don't find ourselves without again. Why would the manufacturer discontinue the Fawn color? Found it just here at Chewy... Fawn blends perfectly with Goldens/Yellow Lab/Cocker Spaniel fur. This We love the Gentle Leader Headcollar.

Our 2 pet dogs pull a lot on walks, and we have successfully used Gentle Leaders for them over the years. In addition, we now have two "career changed" service dogs that were brought up with Gentle Leaders. They no longer need to wear them, because they walk beautifully by our side. However, we keep Gentle Leaders on hand for them - just in case we encounter situations where they might pull. I was so glad to see that Chewy has the fawn colored ones available. Couldn't find them anywhere else. Will definitely use Chewy more in the future.

I purchased this for my 45 lb Goldendoodle. Although it seems to fit fairly well I am reluctant to take my dogs on a walk using the harness. The buckle that “secures” the harness around the neck seems very flimsy. If it breaks or fails in some other fashion the dog is completely loose. There is no way to secure it to a secondary collar. I don’t need to be using two leashes on my walks.

It is hard to find a head collar To fit the head of my English lab. This one is padded but yet it is not very wide. My dog’s nose is not as long as American labs therefore it is hard to find one that does not get too close to her eyes. She doesn’t enjoy it but that’s life. She can pant, sniff and get her treat for being a well behaved pup.

In my years with many pups, I've tried many styles of gentle leaders and this 1 is not 1 I'll do again. The strap across the nose is too thin and can dig in. The lock under the jaw is just that, locks in place. It's the the strap across the nose that stops the pup from pulling vs the style I have for my other pup that's loose underneath the jaw and tightens up when pup goes to pull. I think the lock will break easily, soon, too, it's just plastic. I've used PetSafe gentle leaders before (from 2012 & 2013) and have been happy with them, but like everything that changes, it's not always for the best.

I love this product, so I’m giving it full stars, but be aware that the red is a dark pink color. I have a red leash and red boots, and this doesn’t come close to matching. Still, I highly recommend this product. It’s much safer for your dog, and is the only thing that has helped my Jack Russell. Yes, we’ve tried multiple trainers. He knows so many tricks I’ve run out of ideas. He’s well trained and really smart, but his breed is not obedient. The Gentle Leader really is genius. After all, if you were trying to control a horse, would you put a rope around its neck? The trick is to control their head. If you’re on the fence, get one today!

We always love getting our boxes delivered from chewy! Remy our silver lab always gets excited, don't know if it's the box or he smells what's inside. If anything goes wrong chewy always makes it right. Best customer service and all kinds of supplies. Thank you Chewy. Andrea Granbury Texas

I bought this a while back but waited to do a review until I tested it in different situations. This gentle leader works great on my Labrador Retriever who is a hard puller and weighs just shy of 10lbs less than me. The only complaint I have is that it’s not a true royal blue as depicted in the writeup or product picture.
