Mein Schäferhund ist ängstlich und hat immer an der Leine gezogen. Er ist 2 Jahre alt. Ich habe bis jetzt immer ein Halti gebraucht das geholfen hat aber er hat mit dem Kopf trotzdem nach vorne gezogen so dass immer noch Zug auf der Leine war und ich ihn immer wieder korrigieren musste. Mit dem Gentle Leader geht es jetzt viel besser. Kein Zug mehr, da es auf einem anderen Prinzip passiert. Kann ich 100% empfehlen für Hunde mit einer langen Nase.

This is a great collar, but very very disappointed that it's broke after 2 months!!

Definitely need to start using this on a younger dog. My old guy wanted no part of it, but my younger male adapted. He doesn't like it, but it definitely helps make walking him easier.

I found this to be a lifesaver for my shoulder. I have a great dane puppy who was pulling really bad when I was taking her for walks with a regular harness. This one came very highly recommended by other great dane owners and it has made a huge difference with dane. She still like to try and pull but can't get quite the same effect because she can't use her full body to do so. We are working on training to stop the behavior. She doesn't love wearing it but it doesn't cause any rubbing that is leaving any marks. We go door walks at least 5 days a week.

The gentle leader was a wonderful product. My crazy 10 month old field setter immediately stopped pulling my arm off and heeled nicely.The problem is in the clasp that adjusts under the chin. The metal clasp was extremely hard to close and within a few months was bent and unusable. I do not understand why such a good product has such a flaw.The packaging was quite fancy but I wish they'd sent a little less on the packaging and a little more on a good under chin clasp.

Resistente y manejable

Bueno y seguro, me arrepiento de haberlo comprado en color claro.

I've only just started the process of training my dog to use this head collar but so far I'm happy with the product. The instructions and support materials that come with it are excellent. The onus is on the dog owner to introduce the head collar properly and train the dog to walk with it, but the quality seems to be top-notch so I'm hopeful it'll work well.

I have a 60 pound Boxer with leash aggression/reactivity. She is pretty much a nightmare to walk if a jogger, stroller, biker, garbage truck, walker, school bus, or UPS truck drives by and FORGET it if we pass another dog. We've tried harnesses, shock and prog collars, positive rewards- you name it, we've tried it- with the prong collar she pulled so hard when a jogger went by that she literally cut off her the ability to breathe (but continued to pull while I was at a stop)- she just, as a white girl would say, 'cannot' when there is other stimulus in the area. I have found that these Gentle Leaders are the best option for her. She's not a fan of it and you can tell that she's embarrassed wearing it (which I explain that if she didn't act like an idiot on walks she wouldn't have to wear it) but she is far more focused and able to keep her marbles together when we pass a stimulus target and also listens better to commands.There are great instructions included with this leader that help you get the proper fit for your pup. Once that it done putting it on each time is a breeze. There are a few observations I would like to make from our extended use that may be helpful to others with similar situations:1. I've had a similar leader in the past (different brand) that had an additional clasp that hooked onto the collar for extra security- while that's a nice feature (I'd love to see added to this one) I will say that no matter what we pass Lucy has been able to pretty much keep her wits about her and has not been able to break free of this leader.2. Because their mouths are held fairly closed it's almost impossible for the dog to pant and cool down- they can open their mouths enough to eat small treats but not to pant- just keep that in mind if you are taking your pup on a long walk on a hot day. Take breaks to take the leader off and offer her a place to cool off and some water.3. My dog apparently loses the ability to go potty with this thing on her face. I'm not sure HOW it's connected to the bladder/intestines but somehow she is convinced it is and WILL NOT go potty with it on her face. We usually walk with it on to a place and then remove it so she can do her thang. Maybe your dog is smarter/less stubborn than mine and can figure it out but just watch for that- she's come home and peed on the floor after a long walk because she couldn't go during the walk (durrrrrrrrrr....special).4. The strap that hangs down and attaches to the leash can go up depending on the angle how you hold the leash and into their mouths...even with the leader on. My chewer sees this as her chance to escape to freedom so I really have to watch to see if she's somehow gotten it in her mouth and remove it before she gnaws though and escapes (again this is where the extra security strap that hooks onto the collar would come in handy). "Curses, foiled again!" I can almost hear her say. Just keep an eye on it (Lucy has a habit of making a chomping/smacking/chewing sound the whole time she wears this, presumably to assure herself that she can still get her mouth open, so I have to peek from time to time to make sure it's just air she chomping at and not the strap).Overall- this is a fantastic option for those with difficult to walk dogs. They may not love it (there is a sheet included on how to introduce them to the leader and how to get them to love it) but it's effective and easy to use. Definitely recommend!!!

We've got two large rescue dogs (60 and 85 lbs., respectively) and, though they did have puppy class, because there were two of them--not that we planned to keep either; we're failed fosters--they didn't get the sort of individual obedience attention our previous pooch did. Neither is at all aggressive, but they are competitive with each other and both would pull constantly when walked on leash. To the point we almost never did it, just because it was so unpleasant both for us, and them. (Choking themselves the whole way and practically pulling us off our feet at least one or two times per walk.) We either had to have two adults do the walk, one for each dog, where they would then constantly compete with each other to see who could be in front. Or, we had to take them one at a time, with the one at home going absolutely bonkers about being left behind. It was, shall we say, less than ideal.Then I saw the Gentle Leader and thought, 'Well, it's worth a shot.' Not expecting much I ordered one, to test it out. Fitted on our larger, yet slightly less truculant dog and saw an immediate difference. Walked him around the neighborhood with a loose leash, for the first time ever, and only minor objections--pawing at it once or twice--to the nose strap. I immediately ordered a second head collar for other dog and we've been walking them together every day since.Neither loves the strap, but, honestly, it seems extremely gentle compared to the constant self-choking they did when the leash was attached to their regular collars and we were constantly battling to hold them. The brochure compares it to reins on a horse (without the bit, obviously), which makes sense to me. Today, for the first time in the two year we've had them, I took both for a walk at the same time, successfully and with very little pulling, even when we ran into a neighbor's dog loose in their yard. In the past, all three would have ended up running around loose, with me probably on the ground, but this time I was able to hold them fairly easily and with absolutely no drama.Hopefully we'll someday be able to go back to the standard collar, without the pulling, but, for now, my husband and I call it the "Miracle Leash" and I'm 100 percent sold!
