PetSafe Gentle Leader review with Hudson the German Shepherd
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.พ. 2018
- Stop your dog from leash pulling instantly with this inexpensive head collar. We needed a quick fix to our German Shepherd's pulling as it was becoming dangerous for our children to walk him. My trainer recommended a Gentle Leader and we couldn't be happier with the results. Hudson (our 9 month old GSD) went from extreme puller to calm walker instantly! He's a completely different dog when he's wearing this head collar!
Our goal is to eventually train Hudson to walk with us off leash, but this head collar fulfills an immediate need.

Dont use these collars when its hot dogs need to open there mouths to cool off because they dont have sweat glands.
@@John-Anderson it's not a muzzle and the dog's mouth is able to open. The dog can eat, drink and pant. Do some quick research before spreading misinformation. If it's too hot an owner should not be taking their dog out anyway.
Remember to/remind the kids to RELEASE the tension on the leash when Hudson is doing what you want him to do to prevent confusion!! This is awesome, Imso glad it worked for you guys. The gentle leader is a life saver at the shelter I work at.
Jenna Conway yeah I noticed that too
Yeah I seen that to, but didn't want to criticize anyone. But it was good to see how the dog reacts to constant tension, they were obviously confused.
Saw that immediately. That’s my biggest pet peeve about the head collars, there isn’t an immediate (or any release since this dog hates the muzzle loop, because that’s still pressure) release. It’s so easy for them to end up being a crutch because the dogs confused and the owner doesn’t learn good pressure and release and timing. I think the dog might have been best off with the high collar without the loop on the muzzle.
You can also have a separate harness on along with this harness if they are not pulling, then keep both leashes lose. If the start to pull, keep the leash on the no pull training harness shorter until they stop pulling. As they pull less and less you can take the training harness off and just keep it with you until they are not pulling anymore.
I am 74 and walk and babysit a black lab, greyhound mix who is really strong, yes he doesn't like the gentle leader but it saves my shoulder from pooping out.....so worth every penny. Getting it in him is still a bit of a struggle, he is a very smart dog.
This is a good, honest review. Progress, not perfection.
Thank you!
Some dogs are just out front dogs that pull like crazy and a gentle leader is a great way to get control of your leash reactive dog! When your dogs, like most dogs, try to get the gentle leader off you just pull the leader straight up and when your dog eases tension you ease tension and treat!
Great video! I have a 135 lbs husky mix (she's a big girl!) and bought one of these for her today. It's like night and day! She's so much more well behaved with the gentle leader.
Thank you, and glad you're having success with it. 135 pound husky mix? Wow! Are you sure she's not mixed with a wolf? 😀
Thanks for sharing. I have a stubborn, headstrong, loves to pull male husky. For a dog that weighs about 50 lbs I honestly think he could drag me across the world and back.
My dog is the same way. He'll do absolutely anything for a treat but once they're gone he's in his own world. And although I've been trying to desensitize him to the gentle leader he still tries to take it off. I'm loving the honesty of this review thank you.
SMALL TH-camR BUT THIS COLLAR WORKS LIKE MAGIC
We have a Labradoodle and walking him was a true nightmare. I used to get so sad when I would see dogs walking nicely with their owners. A couple of days ago my husband was trying to walk him and a gentleman saw him struggling with Bear and told him about the gentle leader. The next day I went and bought it. You have no idea, I almost cried at the difference between his other leash and collar. It makes a huge difference on his walks . It has only been two days, but we actually look forward to walking him.
I'm so glad it's working for you! Our dog still hates it but will tolerate it.
and he probably hates it. Imagine massive pressure on the bridge of your nose constantly. These are cruel
Damn, family of 9 and a dog.. that's crazy, giving everyone attention sounds like a job by itself xD
It gets a little hectic sometimes but all worth it!
My mum's family had eleven kids. It's not that big of a deal
Grunthos The Flatulent do you guys have any tips/tricks. I’m having my fifth in two months and it’s already getting hectic. Their dad handles the boys while I handle the girls but it doesn’t seem to work out to good as I’m pregnant and they want to go out to the mall and do girly stuff and I’m just tired all the time
Da GUDKID stop reproducing
@@offperkz2454 tell the kids they have to start contributing. I have 5 as well. It isn't fair for you to have to do EVERYTHING. The older ones can help with their own laundry, having a dish night where they have to do dishes, help you make dinner, etc. The younger ones can put away silverware and plastic dishes, sweep/swiffer (even if they don't do a good job its better than nothing). Hold a family council where you tell the kids you need help. Ask them what they are willing to do. Your family shouldn't have to live in a messy house with a drudge for a mother---if everyone has 1-3 chores that they do regularly it makes a HUGE positive difference in a parent's ability to run a smooth household.
Best review ever! This is my second video and I am convinced about taking one for my husky. Thank you! I like how your whole family invested in giving this review.
Thanks
I am so happy I found this review. My GSD is 85lbs at 10 months. He pulls so bad. He pulled my 11 year old son across the backyard this morning. I will be looking into ordering this asap!
So glad I found this video. Probably the best and most honest review I've seen. I have an almost two year old Doodle that pulls me like crazy no matter what harness I've tried. I have had this Gentle Leader for a while but had never tried it on him. I just kept buying different harnesses. Anyway, I put it on him this morning, and while he hates it, I couldn't believe the difference it made in walking him. Yes, it will take a while for him to get used to it, but I'm sticking with it. Thanks so much for an honest review!
Great honest review. This was pretty much the same thing we found with our 6mo old GSD. She's nearing 60 pounds and pulls like a freight train if left to her own pacing. Gentle leader helps a ton but isn't a cure-all.
I just bought this for our pup.Today was his first day,he wasn’t happy with it but I will keep trying,thank u for your video!
This a great video! You had my attention from the very beginning! Very creative and NOT just another boring review! Great Job! Also, it helped that you had my favorite breed of dog :)
Irene Hayes , thank you!
Funny, I was about to comment the exact same!
Yes his video is amazing grabs your attention and keeps it throughout.
Very helpful. My frisky terrier mix was beginning to pull hard enough to aggravate a back injury.
Thanks for giving us the real scoop (and hope) that we can walk our GS puppy! We bought one of these and this video convinced us.
Glad we could help! We're still very much using it as he's gotten a lot stronger since making this video.
Thank you so much! I'm going to college and our lab/pit mix only walks with me. My parents refuse to walk him because he pulls too much. I'm buying this asap!
My vet recommended it because my dog (beagle/husky) doesn't care about treats and is horrible on a leash. I'm a full grown women and she's managed to knock me down and hurt me so many times during our walks, it's brought me to tears because I'm so frustrated. I will definitely be trying this, thank you so much
Thank you for curating a concise video that was fun to watch and straight to the point! We were advised by our dog trainer to use this to help with lunging and your review was awesome and honest. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. More of this creative, no nonsense content please!
My Bordeaux is 70 kgs. He would pull me and it became almost impossible to go walking. I purchased the halti head lead and it's been amazing. We can now go out anywhere and enjoy the time out.
Thanks for a realistic, no fluff video review!
True review, I had a lab mix and after she pulled me over on a walk I started using the gentle leader. Many miles we walked together! Now we have a large mix one year old, doesn’t like the leader either but gets excited to go walking when I take it out. At age 65, I can’t afford a fall!
Very well put together video thank you. I just took a bad fall because my dog pulled me and this is going on him. What a sweet family by the way.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you’re feeling better.
Thank you sooo much for this review! I have tried everything with my Golden Retriever and she is a puller. She must’ve been a husky in a previous life. Wish me luck, I’ll give this a try. Again, thanks for the honest review!
Love this. Have a 9 month old GSD, have a prong and find it fantastic but am so scared of the possible damage it could be doing to him. So bought him a halti and took him for a quick 10 min walk today with it on, loaded with treats and praise, he wasn’t loving it and tried to take it off but I hope in time he’ll get there!
What a well-made video and a lovely family you have! My big gs girl has pulled me over 3 times...am going to try this....🐾🌻
Worked like magic for our 8 month lab. I didn’t do the slow and steady introduce method. But did feed him treats once it was on to help distract him a little. He’s not completely used to it (paws at it a bit) but he’s walking right at my side and better yet not trying to eat everything on the ground.
Thank you so much. I am getting a GSD pup and wanted to make sure before getting the gentle leader.
such a great video! love how the kids were a part of it and also very informative with the head collar! just got one today for my pit bull excited to see her walk beside me and not pull/drag me lol
Chiefpokah , thank you! Let me know how it works with your dog!
Love this review! Super honest and realistic!
What a beautiful family!! Thanks for the vid..I just ordered one! 🧡
Thank you. Appreciate your honesty.
I had my dog trainer recommend these and honestly its amazing my dog is only 25 lbs but he is dog reactive so it can become dangerous and frustrating when theres another dog in the area. But with the gentle leader hes been so much more easier to control and keep from responding aggressively towards other dogs
Glad it's working
Very helpful! I just purchased the Pet Safe Gentle Leader for my 18 mo old Chocolate Lab. He is a out 90-95 lb and too strong for me and it got to the point I can’t wait him. I have tried treats, but as soon as he sees someone or another dog no matter how far away, he goes for them. To him he never met a stranger and loves everything and everyone. I hope the gentle leader work.
Did it work?
Love the honest review!
Thank you!
I have GSD looks similar like your. The video of your dog dragging your son reminds me of myself. My dog did the same thing when she was 7-8 months until couldn’t walk her anymore cos she’s getting stronger and strongest everyday. Now she’s 15 months and I am still having problem of walking her. Your video gives me the idea to try this gentle lead. Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻 Hope will work on us 🙏🏻
Thank You for your honest straightforward review. I am ditching the prong coller and trying the gentle leader
Cool, let me know how it works
Excellent video thank you so much I just bought this hands down best video on TH-cam explaining this product
Glad it helped
Amazing review mate. My GSD also hates it but I feel there's no other option, with the extent that he pulls and how strong he is. I will keep persevering.
I used a Halti collar like that years ago for my beagle. I'm sorry you're having trouble, but glad it's doing as intended. I have a small dog and they don't make them small enough for her. You'd think it would be easy enough to train her, but after 8 years I've finally found a treat that interests her enough that she will not only eat it outside but be enticed by it. She responds well to verbal commands but outside it's just too exciting.
Thank you for the video! I am having a similar experience with the Gentle Leader. My 6-month old Golden Retriever is strong and he gets too excited when he sees other dogs and people on our walks. We are working on that but, meanwhile, the GL is really helping.
Just "inherited" a lovely shepard mix, 1 yr old, 60lbs. Very very little training. A Gentle Leader came with her....wow, huge difference. She doesn't enjoy it exactly, but there's already a big difference in less than a week!
Found gentle leader product some 10 years ago and it is the best tool for easier walking with our dog !
Thank you! I have a 70 lbs golden retriever, he is a huge puller on his harness. At this point he can pull me and I might break something, so I have been really considering buying him something because I can’t seem to stop him comfortably anymore. Since covid, I have lost my arm strength and I can’t restrain him very much. Now, I have a 11 month old collie, and so now it’s like 120 lbs pulling against me, I can manage to stop them still, by the grace of God. However, yesterday I took them to the park and they pulled me and I snapped forward very hard. I met someone at the park with a gentle head harness, and I’m really considering this product. In the past, I wouldn’t have because I was afraid it would hurt him, but now he’s hurting me. Thank you for your wonderful video! It will definitely help.
Update: it works
You have a better voice than most TH-camrs with pro sound gear. It’s a relief for people with “misophobia” Hudson is the big brother hahaha.
I've got a 4mth old GS and I can't walk him anymore... he drags me along. Thanks for the post and review!
Thanks for the video! 👍 I purchased one and going to try it out! 🤞 It will help. 🙂
It’s so helpful to see a review with a real dog. We have a Labrador puppy who is huge and strong already. She’s pulled me over and twisted my knee. I’ve just bought one of these so I hope it will help. I can handle anymore injuries!
Hudson is definitely a real dog. Thanks for watching!
Great review. Thank you 👍 I have a 5 month old female German Shepherd puppy and can relate to your walking experience’s and was considering this option. 😎
I also have a german shepherd and she pulls A LOT!!! I was skeptical about this product but now, I am going to give it a try and follow exactly what the instructions and DVD that's included provide. I really want the pulling to stop so that I can ease when walking her.
Definitely give it a try, I think you'll be surprised. Good luck!
I also had a good experience with customer service at Pet Safe. Chuck helped us order a doggie door we couldn't find and was super nice.
my dogs been on it since she was a puppy…she’s super used to it and does super well on it
I have a shepherd mix and he has a huge prey drive so if he was seeing anything, it was like hell to regain control over him. Even though he is very small for a German Shepherd, he is mixed with very strong dogs. I do train him and he's a very smart and passionate-about-learning dog. I'd been saving up my money and I purchased him one of these collars last month. It worked like magic. He still occasionally pulls, but it's not as hard to stop him anymore. This made our walks even more enjoyable and fun.
Agreed, the collar makes a huge difference! I’m glad it’s working for you.
We love our gentle leader for our 160lb Saint Bernard. Without it walking would literally be impossible. Now he walks loose leash and we have full control whenever needed.
I have a 5 month old German Shepherd that is unbelievably strong. Being a puppy, they just want to go where they want to go and she would drag the kids with her on a flat collar leash. I bought this gentle leader, did a bit of walking/training with her myself and in one morning, she was a different dog. I have trained dogs before and never even heard of this collar. All I can say is get one. They work. Thanks for the video guys!
Thank you!
First I must say I love the way you start your video and the was fun to watch how they say it costs you 😂
Thank you!
Mine comes tomorrow! Thanks for the good video
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome thanks for the review!
My 4m.o. Golden totally freaked out with the G.L. Going to try the harness.
I just put the gentle leader on my 3 year old lab that pulls constantly when on leash-- and it was a fantastic walk! He hated it of course but he'll get use to it. And I don't have to be pulled all over, yay!
My Dog Hates wearing it too!! Too much pressure on his eyes and muzzle. ❤️ But you're right loosen it up and its not as bad
Thank you for being so honest I try to tell people all the time that training your dog with treats only works as long as you’ve got a pocket full of treats. As soon as you don’t have the treats, they’re not interested, they work it out really quickly teaches the dog to be selfish. He teaches the dog to mooch of other people - it teaches the dog to look for food while you’re out, which creates more pooling - and it also makes them susceptible to taking Bates - - thank you for your honesty.
Thank you
Thanks, really helpful review & great video!
Thank you!
We have a almost 3 year old white shepherd who was a nightmare to walk. I bought one of these and she walks so easy on it now
Glad it’s working out for you!
I am gonna try this. 6 1/2 month old St. Sheppard pulls like nobody's business. I also use the "Stop and Go" method while walking. Gotta wait a bit longer before I see results of that one.
Going to get this for my labrador as he is an angel on a lead but god help me if a dog or human comes in sight! I end up getting frustrated when he drags me (obviously) so i hope this helps both him and myself to be able to enjoy our walk together and bond :) you have an absolutely stunning shepherd also.
Thank you! I think this will help you. Hudson is much better behaved when other dogs are around while he's wearing this collar.
Great review!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you!
I bought the gentle leader today as instructed by my trainer :) interested to see any difference in the future
Loved your review ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Have you tried any of the other head halters? Sporn works a bit differently. Keep sharing as it was informative. Blessings.
Thanks for the video and review. We have the same product and using it almost a year. I see the same thing with our GR what Hudson gone through.
Question:
Our GR is not peeing or pooping when we have the gentle leader on. Do you have any suggestions or tips to help ?
I just rescued an 80lb Pitt, the gentle leader is literally a Godsend, it's the difference between him walking by my side and him taking me on a half marathon ;)
The k9 bridle looks very similar but looks like softer and more comfortable material
Yep our german shepherd pulls so badly on our walks and our trainer started us off with walking him on a harness - probably not the best decision because it gave him the pulling advantage - he's a year old now and taking him for walks is something I dread so I've ordered this, and it will be arriving tomorrow. I really hope this works because I fear taking our GSD out for a walk unless my brother is with me and he's holding him. I used to take him out all the time when he was younger. We'd trek the woods for hours and I miss those walks.
Used your link to purchase. Thank you.
Chopper and Drax the Rottweilers Thank you. Unfortunately Amazon killed my affiliate account because I didn’t have enough subscribers. But I do appreciate it.
Really nicely done video. My GSD is doing so much better since getting this. Like another comment said - progress not perfection.
Thank you and I'm glad your GSD is doing better!
Very helpful and entertaining. We wonder how you have the energy to have 7 children and a dog! We have 2 dogs, and no children. But if we had children, we'd use a gentle leader on them as well. :-)
My dog is not to wrapped in the harness however it works amazing. I also do not do the harness as tight as recommended.
Your son is doing a great job! One observation: It appears that he is walking him on a tight leash which, I understand, makes dogs pull more.
Thank you for the honest review. We have two G.S. and looking for something to help. Will give this a try for sure.
Glad it was helpful!
I just wanted to let you guys know YOU were the reason I stuck with the gentle leader. You used your dog family and a dog that acted like well a dog. All the other video's are great but yours struck a cord because it seemed so real. I kept with it and today my dog and I walked half a mile she for the first time in her five months loved her walk. ( she is not as big as Hudson but very strong) So again thank you. Your approach was what made me not give up.
Thank you for these kind words. I’m so glad you’re able to walk with your dog!
Nothing better than a honest family man.
Just got one for my doberman. I'll try it out tonight
Hope it works out for you!
amazing quality video. very impressive.
Thank you!
My German Shorthair is a PULLLEEERRRR! I got a gentle lead and now I love taking my dog on walks. I find myself taking my dog on walks twice a day for longer periods of time.
I love my halti optifit! I have a 50 lb springer spaniel boy who is 8.5 months old and pulls but not when using this!
Thanks, that was very helpful.
You're welcome!
I love your doggie!!!!
Thank you
Thanks. You are the 1st person I have seen give an honest review and have a GSD! I have a 1 year old GSD and I am going to give this a shot..:(
How has it worked?
.
@@pattythomas1544 It does not work. The problem was she hated so bad she would rub her nose on the grass and did it so hard she hurt her nose and caused harm to herself. So I went back to the pinch collar. So far that has worked.
@@charlenestewart7395 Thanks for your feedback
I bought one 2 days ago, watched the DVD but decided I'm going to take it back.
This is one of my favorites videos!🤣 💯review.
Thank you!
Definitely want to try this on my husky. Great video!!
Thanks
my fiance is 7 months pregnant and out pit/red heeler pulls her very hard with me i was able to hold him back. i was told by a couple with a 1 yo german shepperd a gentle leader is very helpful so we got him one. he now walks without pulling and he does try and get it off and pull back to get it off. he has figured out no matter what he does it wont come off so he deals with it. but it changed everything!
I was lucky enough to already have a muzzle trained dog so when I put his gentle leader on he was like oh whatever lol
Good review / video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Love this. Thank you so much. I love his snow shovel nose. 😂
I appreciate your review... helped us with our new puppy!
We had dogs in the past that hated the halti, BUT it worked, so they wore it (saved my arm from being pulled outta the socket 😄👍)
I highly recommend it. Worked instantly. Got mines for $30 from pet smart.
You can price match it for $15
