PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar, No-Pull Dog Collar, Small up to 25 lb, Raspberry

We bought these collars for both of our large bread dogs. We dreaded walking them because they basically were walking use and dragging us. Last night, we put the collars on and went for a walk. It was so much better. I told my husband I could not wait to write a review, but he told me to wait until we tried again. Tonight we walked them again. They are so well behaved. The walks are like night and day. I already told one of our friends about it. I will be telling others that are going through the same problem. We are so grateful for this remedy.

Highly recommend. The lead is so helpful when walking my 6 month puppy. No more pulling!!! My pup is 60 lbs and I ordered a medium. It is adjustable and fits him well. I would recommend to give it a try!

This has really helped with walking my dog. She doesn't pull like she used to. I am hoping I won't have to use it forever and she will walk nicely without it someday.

This works only for those dogs that are willing to submit to a head collar, not all dogs will be alright with it so make sure you understand what type of dog you have. If it's forced on the dog, it will be traumatic and destructive to the dog. For those dogs that do tolerate it well, it's an excellent product that helps with boundaries on walks and other activities. I had one dog do really well with it and another one that simply hated it.

The tan color works well with my 80 lb male golden. Once he has it on he is calm and listens so much Better. People notice it however. and ask why I have a muzzle . ( I say it is not a muzzle but like reins on a horse ) You have to use it everyday for awhile to get your dogs attention. Dogs want us to show us how they can appease us. We are a team . The world is a team. It is a process that will make your life better when walking. Ignore them trying to take it off unless it is too tight to start. They will complain for awhile but you do not want you or your dog in a situation you cannot handle. There can be consequences. One other note- stay away from dog parks until your pup can handle it. It can be fun but stressful if they can't handle it. Also-dog parks are fun but don't go until your vet says it is safe. Parvo is everywhere and you don't want your pup In compromised too early. Can cause a lot of issues for you and one you love.

I've never in my life left a good review but after using this product for a week it has been life changing. I used to need to avoid populated walk areas with my dog due to her excitement around other people. She has always had a pulling problem. We have had this for about a week and our walks have tripled in distance because of how well this product corrects her. She also now rarely pulls because she knows she'll be redirected. For anyone wondering, she is a 5 year old English Black Lab who weighs slightly over 65lbs. We use the large gentle leader and it fits really well!

I have been using these collars for my service dog for 2 1/2 years now. Only complaint is the buckle is a pain in the butt to snap and unsnap and he slips it off his nose pretty easy with a quick swipe.

As a senior citizen with limited strenght and mobility, I found the adjustment straps and clips entirely too difficult to manage on my son's 60-pound, heavily-coated and very exuberant dog. It was much easier to give up and deal with the pullimg, circling and charging.

I was walking my dog when a lady was walking hers nearby. My dog began pulling at the Gentle Leader, and in a flash, he was running toward her and her dog. There was a brief moment of disbelief before I realized what had happened: he had managed to snap the cheap plastic clip (see video) on my Gentle Leader. I followed him, and the lady was going nuts as my dog started running in circles around her dog and herself. "Why don't you keep your dog on a leash? Why don't you keep your dog on a leash? Why don't you keep your dog on a leash? I'm not from around here, and this never happens where I'm from. Why don't you keep your dog on a leash? I'm going to call the cops in FIVE minutes. Why don't you keep your dog on a leash? I don't like this I don't like this". You get the gist. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get between my dog and hers. It was futile because my dog was only interested in playing with the other dog (I say playing because he never even touched the other dog: he just ran close to him and then kept circling, not growling or barking or anything). I felt so helpless, like all the training I had done was useless. Having this lady yelling at me didn't help. I finally snapped: "I DID HAVE HIM ON A LEASH!". I shouldn't have even entertained her question, as she could clearly see the leash and broken Gentle Leader in my hands. Unless she thinks I just like to carry it around while I walk with my unleashed dog? She finally went inside, and my dog kept running in broad circles around me, going into a parking lot, and I'm just calling him because I know he'll just stray further if I chase him. He finally jumped on the hood of a car, and I was able to secure what was left of his Gentle Leader around him so that I could very cautiously walk him home. As you can see in the video, the Gentle Leader was still able to clip around his neck after he broke it, but if he had gotten excited and pulled too hard, I would have lost him again. In summary, this collar/harness is very cheaply made and poses a very real safety risk for your dog. Tonight was traumatic, but I am lucky it didn't end even worse.

completely slips off no matter how tight it is
