Questions & Answers

Can this be used with a petsafe harness?

Answer by chewycustomerNov 26, 2025
It is supposed to be used by itself, if you used it with a harness you would be holding 2 leashes.

some collars come with a padding that goes around the nose area, does this gentle leader have padding on it?

Answer by ChewySep 01, 2018
All PetSafe Premier Gentle Leaders now feature padding for the nose area. I've included an image for reference.

how do you tighten the nose piece

Answer by ChewyOct 05, 2022
To adjust the nose loop, snap the neck strap high on the neck at it's pre-fitted position. Make the final adjustment to the nose loop by sliding the snap clamp up or down to adjust. With your thumb and index finger, pinch nose loop underneath the snap clamp, temporarily holding it. For further instructions, click on the 'Instructions' tab, just under the product photos, where the 'User Manual' is located.

Making sure this comes with an instructional DVD ?

I bought this so that I was not always choking my headstrong pitbull mix on walks. This makes him much more responsive, more quickly. And he has zero trouble with my putting it on, from the first time I used it. He was perfectly fine with it, despite all the instructions about very carefully getting him used to it for short periods first.

I received the headcollar on Sunday afternoon and trained Bingo to wear the nossle: After 10th try, Bingo was able to ease into it. However, the following day was dabbed by me as Miracle Monday. Even though he still tries to take it off his face, the result was insta t. I screamed "THANK YOU UNIVERSE".I am a. Atheiss, Bingo stopped pullig me. Since he was so stubborn, I was shocked he how he did not pull me. I RECOMMEND THIS COLLAR TO PET OWNERS IF THEIR DOGS PULLS THEM. THIS IS INSTANCE RESULTS! Since I am on a fixed income, I am going to buy thr same color and size collar for Chase next month. I cannot wait to have them wear it together. AGAIN, BEST PRODUCT EVER.

I bought this collar to prevent my lab puppy 16 months 73 pounds from pulling I’ve used a previous color made sprenger coach his eyes to hemorrhage and did not prevent him from pulling as soon as I put this on him it works like a charm. What a deal. It’s a wonderful product and I highly recommend it

I used to have the “no pull” harness that would go around my dogs chest and the leash would attach below the neck but that didnt really help. My dog still kind of pulls sometimes with this but it helps SO much more than the other types of harness. Obviously every dog is different so it might not be good for everyone. Just make sure you give their nose a good rub n scratch after :) my dog always appreciates that!

I had been using a pinch claw collar on the walks for decades with my past dogs and it worked well but this guy kept pulling to my left to sniff the gutter and it was nasty on me to try to control a powerful young 90 pound dog but this collar has helped

I am not a fan of the gentle lead. Trying to fit this to my active puppy, was really hard. So is getting the fit just right. Even after getting it in him, I’m not sure I did it correctly. I would like to return this item for a refund.

My dog did not like it at first but it was necessary as he is bigger and stubborn when it comes to a leash. The headcollar fits well around my dogs snout but the downside is it rubs and bothers him. It has helped improve our walks.

Our walks are so much more enjoyable now! Our young golden has a bad habit of pulling, no matter how many stop-and-sits we do. I don’t like prong collars at all, so we tried this. He stopped pulling immediately and our walks are so much more relaxing! We always walk on a tandem leash with our other dog, and I know she appreciates the difference too.

Although she didn’t like it the first time I put it on her, my dog quickly acclimated to wearing it, and I had instant results and improvement in walking without pulling. I have a bad shoulder and my neighbor has been encouraging me to get a pinch collar, but I feel this is so much more humane.
