This dog training collar is a fast, effective and humane way to eliminate barking, lunging, leash pulling, begging and jumping from your dog’s repertoire. The nose loop fits loosely and comfortably around the muzzle, (we tested it on our 6-month old Golden). Neck strap fits high and snug, enabling you to apply pressure similar to that of a mother lifting a puppy. When you apply gentle pressure to the leash, your dog will pull backward, not forward—no more leash pulling, choking or gagging!
Proven effective for dogs of any age.

The Nose Loop - Dogs are naturally "pack" animals with a highly structured social order. One of the ways the "pack leader" will demonstrate his position is to gently but firmly grasp a subordinate’s muzzle in his mouth. This is a non-aggressive, very clear signal regarding who’s the boss! The Gentle Leader’s® nose loop encircles your dog’s muzzle in this same manner, letting him know in his own language that you are his leader. Dogs feel more secure when they know who the leader is.
The Neck Strap - Have you noticed how puppies seem to melt in relaxation when their mother picks them up at the back of the neck? Gentle Leader® applies pressure to the back of the neck rather than the front of the throat, working with your dog’s natural relaxation instinct with an amazing calming effect. Also, dogs tend to pull against pres-sure so the gentle pressure at the back of the neck causes the dog to pull backward, not forward. This means an end to leash pulling forever!
The Gentle Leader® Headcollar quickly encourages controlled sitting - raise your dog’s nose skyward, and he lowers his hindquarters - no pushing or shoving.
The Gentle Leader® Headcollar is NOT a muzzle. When fitted properly, your dog will be free to open his mouth to eat, drink, pant, fetch, bark and even bite - except when you close his mouth by pulling on the leash. The Headcollar features two soft nylon straps - the collar portion fits high at the top of the neck, and the nose loop fits loosely and comfortably across the base of the muzzle. Each strap has a distinct and important effect.
