I have an 80lb dog that pulls with all his strength. I have been using a pinch collar to try to train him. It helps me handle him but it no way am I winning or training him beneficially. I bought the Gentle Lead (for large dogs) then watched this video to fit it, put it on, and use it. It only took about five minutes to fit it and put it on (with treats). I was expecting us to have multiple sessions of working together before he would actually warm up to it, but he was willing right away! I decided we'd walk to the mailbox and back for a quick practice session...WOW. My rambunctious dog behaved like a docile kitten. He walked beside me, relaxed and attentive to my movements!!! He was rewarded with lots of love and treats! Finally, we will have more relaxed walks together. Thank you!
It worked great for my 60lb 10 month lab, if you need an alternative a neighb or had me try a Petsafe easy walk harness and she absolutely loves it. If the gentle leader is not fitted properly your dog will try sliding on it's face in the grass ....hope that helps
Just tried this out today with my overly curious 90lb dog and wow what a difference!!! I regret not getting this over a year ago
We're so happy this head collar is already working so well for you and your dog!
Game changer. Just bought one today for my 60 lb mix. Easy to adjust size, even went for a short walk. He kept trying to paw at it, but he will get used to it in no time.
My dog kept choking herself bc she would pull so hard but I just walked her with the gentle leader and it worked so well!!!! She kept trying to paw it off but after about 10 minutes she stopped and instead started enjoying the walk. my arm was able to be relaxed and she got to walk without pulling or choking. Seriously if your dog pulls/chokes themselves while walking, this is the solution for you.
Thank you so much for sharing! We are so happy to hear how much this has helped you and your pup!
Oh my! This is everything! My gsd puppy is a strong one! At first I was skeptical about this, but ended up buying it with my own money because I was desperate! It works so fast! He’s an amazing walking now and owe it all to this product! I am 12 and now I can finally walked my crazy boy!
This is the greatest thing to come into Rocky (My Dog) and my life! Great video of a great product!
I just got one for my huskie rocky
I love the early 2000s music
Best on the market! Top of the line still after 30yrs. Won't use any other product! Genius.
Great video... definitely helpful. We just bought ours & plan to give it a try tomorrow.
I can't wait to use this! Neighbors just got 6 dogs and I haven't been able to walk my girl down the street without her 80 lbs. pulling my 120. It's arriving TMRW!
We hope this head collar works well for you and your girl to both enjoy walks together, Regina! If you have any questions after getting your Gentle Leader®, please reach out to our Customer Care team directly.
I’m probably going to get this for my dog. He’s about 60 lbs and pulls with all his strength and I’m very small and I can’t handle his pulling. I can’t even walk him anymore. Luckily we have a huge backyard but I know going for walks is good for him so hopefully we can figure this out together.
Tried the new leash this morning. Had tried everything to keep our dog from pulling the leash. This is the only thing that seems to work!
Excellent video! I'm waiting for my to be delivered for my 2 year black lab. She had 4 weeks of offsite training and definitely did not improve in this area. I will update when it is delivered. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for this vid!
Excellent training video.
I bought this "harness" months ago and didn't try it bcz it looked too flimsy. I decided to give it a shot today. The Gentle Leader was easy to use and my dog walked surprisingly well with it. I'm going to try taking her for a longer walk tomorrow and hopefully she'll be more comfortable.
thanks for the info!
These can cause severe neck injuries due to the head being whipped around if your dog lunges, or pulls to any capacity. They can also cause eye irritation and rub the fur off your dog's muzzle. Don't use these, they are an accident waiting to happen and have been proven to be just as effective as an anti pull harness without the potential risks
@@bigbigrat and its very obvious you didn't listen you use caution when Jerking give it a break.
if you find the dog wants to slide on its face in the grass, the leader is not properly fitted
I have the XL version and it does not have a plastic clamp but rather a metal one for aussie shepherd, i've only seen a plastic slide up, it it the same amount of pressure to fasten because i felt that it wasn't budging!
Thank you for asking about this! Though the original Gentle Leaders® have plastic clamps in all sizes, we do have a new metal clamp version. Pressing down the clamp on our plastic clamps does require significant pressure, as these clamps are designed to snap into place quite firmly and be only rarely adjusted. We do apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
@@petsafebrand Totally Fine! Just have been soo used to see the plastic clasp version, I thought this was like some specialized one as i recommended for my client but didn't purchase myself, I slammed the clasp down and today it was good to go, appreciate the follow up my dog clients are well on their way to being local legend in NYC!
My favorite part was when they said you might need a friend and her friend came walking in like "oh hey I'm a friend!" This video helped so much!! I did not have it adjusted correctly and my friend was yanking on the poor dog while he freaked out. I have bought 3 now and none have come with paper instructions and I cant use the CD.
This is life, my husky walk like a gentelman with the gentle leader 😅
Gave it a try. Our husky hates it and was able to get out of it three times. I know maybe we didn't have it tight enough, but that's another of fur on her. I didn't want to cause her any unnecessary discomfort.
We're sorry to hear you've had this issue with your husky wearing this head collar!
It does sound as if it was likely too loose- though no harness or collar can ever be "escape proof", as a determined dog can struggle out of even well fitting items, it should not be easy to pull out of. When fit as intended, you should be able to fit one finger underneath the strap around your dog's neck.
We do recommend introducing this head collar slowly, particularly for dogs who are unsure- beginning by providing high value treats when your dog willingly sticks her muzzle through the nose loop, moving to her being able to wear the head collar for a few minutes in the house while observed without trying to paw at it, etc.
If she is still unsure after trying these gradual training steps, please get in touch with our Customer Care team directly!
No matter how i adjust it, my border collie can get it off of his nose. Even when i make everything too tight, i can pull it off of his nose myself. He's 48lbs and i ordered a medium. What am i doing wrong? Does he need a different size? Is this just not a goof headcollar or him?
We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with the headcollar. Our team would be more than happy to assist. if you would like you can reach out to our customer care team at 1-866-738-4379 Monday - Friday 8am -7pm EST
These work really well, but getting the proper fit on our Collie has been challenging. If It's positioned so that he can open his mouth, then the nose loop ends up sliding up to his eyes. If I make the nose loop smaller, then it's too tight for him to breathe. I guess we have some more experimenting to do.
Hello Paul, our team would be more than happy to assist you with fit adjustments. If you would like you can reach out to our customer care team Monday - Friday 8am - 7pm EST here - support.petsafe.net/s/
Thanks!
Whys my small leader got a foot of cord coming from the clip at the back of the head?
Is it a mismatch of parts or something? Small on a larger terrier, nose piece has an inch or so cord left over, back of the head a good foot!
Thank you for asking, Paul! As each size of head collar does fit a range of weights, if your dog is near the lower end of the weight range there may be excess strap. We do apologize for any inconvenience this causes. If there is a significant amount of excess strap, you can cut the strap, and burn the end with a lighter or similar flame to prevent fraying.
I like how this video basically says your flat nose dog is a genetic malformation- it’s true.
Whats the risk for the dog slipping out of it? I have a beagle and he likes to slip out of his collar, so we usually use a harness for him.
The halter collar (the section around the neck) has to fit snugly so they can't back out of it. You can also connect it to a backup flat collar in case they do slip out of the head halter.
I always recommend "Backup" w any harness - clip also to their flat collar for extra protection. In the meantime, make sure you're also training a solid recall.
Kaitlyn if fitted as instructed, they can’t get out of it. Just be gentle to protect the dog’s neck.
Just FYI... A "HARNESS" is for getting a dog to "PULL". If that's what you want... The harness is the perfect PULLING TOOL. Just sayin
@@constancecondit4349 thank you for that info as I have a large GSD who pulls like a train,s o I wondered if I could just release him when we walk somewhere safe to run free,so the gentle leader can be left on during free running?
I just used this on my giant 2yr old German Shepherd. Amazing! He is 115lbs and was not excited initially about me being in control but by the end of the walk he got used to it and could be walked with a single finger. He used to tug and pull the entire way and this product was such a relief. Not a paid promo, just love this thing!
We're so happy to hear this head collar has been so helpful for you and your shepherd! It's wonderful to know you're both able to enjoy walks together.
I can't get the neck snap to snap. I have tried both ways. I am afraid to snap harder for it would break.
It takes way more force than I expected. .
takes a lot more force than i thought it would i was scared i was gonna break it
You have to use a lot of force I was scared it would break too
Just ordered this and I'm a bit skeptical. I have a 1 year old black lab that's strong as hell and pulls like mad. I hope this will help, but he wants to be a part of everything around him and tries to get there at 100mph lol. We'll see.
Thank you for sharing your concerns, Anthony! We can absolutely understand having a difficult time with a powerful lab who wants to always be involved. It's very likely that the Gentle Leader will be helpful with this. For best success, we do recommend using a 4-6 ft. leash, and following the training steps- redirecting any attempts to paw at the head collar, stopping when he tries to put pressure into the leash, rewarding him for turning back toward you, and moving forward when the leash is loose. If you have any questions after you're trying it with him, please reach out to us! Our number is 1-800-732-2677, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 8 P.M. EST and Saturdays 9 A.M.- 5 P.M. EST.
@@petsafebrand fantastic, and thank you for the reply! I will certainly follow those steps. If I have any questions I'll be sure to give you guys a call.
@@petsafebrand WOW! Now, that is CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! :D
Het Dude, if the gentle leader doesn't work, maybe try the Petsafe easy walk harness...my 10 month old yellow lab loves it! She didn't agree with the gentle leader. She is also a HEAVY puller LOL
This seems beautiful in theory but I spent half a day trying to get it to work on my doodle with no success. The problem was in the neck strap, which simply wouldn't stay in place. There's no claw mechanicm in the snap and the slightest pressure pulls the strap loose. Even trying to put the one finger under it to make sure it' wa snug, sent it flying. Very frustrating.
We're sorry to hear you had difficulty fitting this head collar on your doodle! Please know this is extremely unusual; it does sound as if the neck strap is not being fully snapped into place.
It is critical to note that the Gentle Leader® buckles have a slight curve to them. For this reason, it is imperative to ensure the buckles are inserted correctly when snapped, gently aligning both pieces to account for the slight curve. Once firmly snapped into place, the buckle will not open unless pressure is placed on the sides of the buckle.
If you continue to have difficulty, this could indicate a possible issue with your buckle; should this be the case, please get in touch with our Customer Care team directly!
Does this now have a way to slip it to the dogs regular collar?
Hello there, thank you for asking this question. The Gentle Leader Head Collar will have a built in collar strap that goes around the dog's neck. This head collar should not be attached to your dog's regular collar.
@@petsafebrand Can you explain why? Some of us are concerned that our dogs might wiggle of of the GL and run into the street.
Certainly! The Gentle Leader® should not be clipped to a separate collar, as this would alter the point of pressure on the head collar, and therefore negate how it works.
As mentioned above, please understand that the Gentle Leader has a built in strap that goes around your dog's neck. This means that even if your dog paws the nose loop down before you can stop them, the Gentle Leader will still be connected around their neck.
@@petsafebrand WOW! Now, that is CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! :D I really appreciate reading all of these responses. Thank you!
I need help!! My dog pulls when she wears it and it pushes on her eye since the leash is pulling
People keep commenting on it because her eye is being pushed in my the collar. I know it’s sized correctly
We are sorry to hear this is happening while your dog is wearing her Gentle Leader Head Collar! When the nose loop is pushing up towards a dog's eye, this indicates the nose loop is too loose. The nose loop should be adjusted so that it is loose enough to reach the very end of the fleshy part of your dog's nose. If you are able to successfully remove the nose loop by pulling it over the tip of your dog's nose, then the nose loop is too loose. Once the nose loop is adjusted to the correct fit, it will stop riding up into your dog's eye but also allow plenty of room for your dog to pant/drink/etc. You may also need to double check the fit of the neck strap as it should be located directly below your dog's ears. If it is sliding down the neck, it is too loose.
As a trainer I agree these can be a useful tool for correcting certain walking behaviors but I believe it should have been stressed.that they should only be worn by the dog during training, not all the time, showing a dog eating with one on might leave some people with the wrong impression. .
It explains in the video to remove immediately after
I totally agree with you!!! But in the video it even says to have your dog wearing the gentle leader like a the time even during feeding time!! Witch I totally disagree with that, your dog should only wear this gentle leader collar when being trained, on a walk, and when seeing the vet. After done training, and the walk is over, and when the vet's all finished, this special collar should be removed immediately! And your regular collar should be placed back on your dog while he/she is no longer being trained or walked, and is ready for feeding and play time, and can enjoy the relaxing free time with you, without the "training tool" being used aka wearing the gentle leader collar. Whenever you are training your dog use the gentle leader collar, but when you are done training for the day, I think it would be best to remove the gentle leader collar and place your dog's regular collar back on your dog for the remainder of the day.
The only problem is trying to brainwash a leading dog (say a herding dog) (a smart dog) to not herd.
Brainwashing is cruel.

Thanks Caesar! 🙄
What is wrong with them eating its normal thing we have been using head halters for centuries on horses cattle they eat quite easily doesn't cause them discomfort they just need ti get used to it.
I had high hopes in this but my almost a year old American bully still pulls and will try to paw it off of her swear she has ADHD 😂 (but that is not the brands fought. Just a hyper and tough dog) we’ve been working with her a lot and she just wants to do her own thing, we’ve looked into dog trainers but the prices are so high (not that we couldn’t afford it for her, we just have a family and that money could be used for food and clothes, etc.) I’ll continue to use this though in hopes she will eventually stop pulling.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Lexie! If your pup is still pulling in her Easy Walk® Harness, it's possible the fit isn't quite right so the harness is not able to be as effective as desired. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care Center through email to share some pictures of your dog in her harness. Our contact information can be found here: www.petsafe.net/support/contact-us
You need a trainer for yourself not the dog.
Not everything is 100% it may be your dog is not able to be trained with this type lead. May have to try something else. Not all dogs are trainable also. Bit rarely is the case.
If your dog doesn't like the gentle leader, you may want to try a Petsfae Easy Walk harness, my 10 month lab absolutely LOVES it, much better than the gentle leader
I had to watch another video where it was explained and showed much better than this video. The other video made it easy for me to do.
Thank you for reaching out to us, Phoenixx!
We're sorry to hear that there was some difficulty getting your new Gentle Leader Headcollar fit for your dog, but we're happy to hear another video made the process easier for you.
If you are still experiencing issues with your new Gentle Leader, please know that we'd be happy to assist! Since we cannot direct message you here, please contact our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 at your convenience. Our hours of operation are from 8AM-7PM Eastern time Monday to Friday.
Will it be ok for my dog to wear this for 8+ hours? I'm bringing my service dog to school and didnt know if I should take it off while she's in place or not.
Thank you for your great question! The Gentle Leader Headcollar should only be worn while your dog is on a walk under supervision. When you are in class and focused on a lesson, we would recommend removing the Gentle Leader and attaching the leash to your dog's collar or harness.
@@petsafebrand ok thank you for your reply
so your saying your "service dog" isin't even leash trained? your prob one of those "oh she's my emotional support animal"
@@gamergirlandweirdo9264 no my service dog doesn't wear it anymore, she hadn't been working for about a year after she was ran over by a cart in a store, and this was the tool I used to train her when she was still in training, there is no shame in going back over the basics to get your dog back into the flow of things. As of right now she is back to using her flat collar only or being off leash without any training tools on. Honestly the only reason she's going with me and not my younger pup is because she became depressed since she had to retire very suddenly and since school doesn't have grocery carts we are in the clear. However even if my service dog still worked with a training tool on it doesn't mean she is fake or an emotional support animal or that she isn't leash trained, there is something called a service dog in training.
@@gamergirlandweirdo9264 I understand you're probably just now reaching your teens, I am also a teen but I'm 18, you can look at my insta if you want I have a few vids of my girls working on there my insta is @servicepupsapphire
I cant figure out the snap on the nose loop. It doesnt click.
butitssummerma push it in the other direction
@@jessicaharvey1896 yas! That's exactly what it was too!
I’m a yr late but you really have to push down to get it to click
How can I keep the leash loose if my dog is constantly pulling on it? She never walks close enough to me to allow for slack on the leash, she constantly is pulling ahead the entire walk 😩
We can certainly provide information on this!
We would recommend using a 4 foot leash while training your dog with this head collar; this will help keep them close. When your dog pulls forward, stop moving. The head collar will naturally turn them back toward you; you can then encourage this behavior, rewarding them first for turning in this direction. Once they are close enough to your side that the leash is loose, try again to take a step forward. In the very beginning when you are starting to teach your dog, this process may seem very slow, but by following these steps and rewarding your dog for moments of loose leash you can gradually teach them that this is the desired behavior.

My dog easily paws it off. Help!
We're sorry to hear you've had this issue with your dog, Janet!
It is important to mention that even when fit properly, this head collar can always be pawed off the muzzle by very determined/repeated efforts. As this head collar is only intended for use while actively walking, we do recommend immediately stopping/redirecting any attempt to paw at the nose loop from the very first moment it begins. This in combination with gradually introducing the head collar to your dog with lots of positive reinforcement should help stop excessive pawing.
With that being said, if your dog is pulling off the nose loop very easily/without dedicated and repeated efforts, it's likely the head collar is a bit too loose. So that we can discuss this situation with you and determine best fit, please contact our Customer Care team!
We just made a review video about this product. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/MUJ7o5CR0KQ/w-d-xo.html
My dog hates it lol.
Lol is the nose loop too tight?
@@JeremyReger wait I read that question wrong lol. I though you said if I put it on right. No I always has it loose.
I am in the same place as well. My is actually ripping her face up. So...back to step 1. Developing positive association with it with high value treats. Tonite will be Carne Asada😁. I would recommend the same for you too
ok now do a fitting video on a 10m golden retriever pup who tries to run around, roll on the floor and bite the collar every time it's put on.
all of these only show dogs that are already obedient and trained, would be useful to place on a non trained one
I'm a dog trainer and I don't believe that the gentle leader collar should be on your dog (24/7/365) and have your dog be wearing it all of the time! But in the video it even says to have your dog wearing the gentle leader like a the time even during feeding time!! Witch I totally disagree with that, your dog should only wear this gentle leader collar when being trained, on a walk, and when seeing the vet. After done training, and the walk is over, and when the vet's all finished, this special collar should be removed immediately! And your dog's regular collar should be placed back on your dog while he/she is no longer being trained or walked, and is ready for feeding and play time, and can enjoy the relaxing free time with you, without the "training tool" being used aka wearing the gentle leader collar. Whenever you are training your dog use the gentle leader collar, but when you are done training for the day, I think it would be best to remove the gentle leader collar and place your dog's regular collar back on your dog for the remainder of the day.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! It is worth noting that while we do make mention that a dog can wear the head collar for things such as eating, drink, panting, etc., this does not mean we are in any way indicating the collar should be worn constantly. This information is provided more as an observation of how loose the nose loop should be since a dog should still be able to perform these actions while wearing the head collar. Additionally, while constant wear is never recommended, there is an acclimation training period when first introducing a dog to the head collar and where the collar can be worn for extended periods of time while under close supervision. Once this acclimation period is complete, the collar then only needs to be put on whenever the dog is getting ready to go out for a walk. We hope that clears up any confusion on this matter!
It does not work I got correct size she gets it off. My dog does not care for treats. And she is wild active no keeping her calm reasonably for wanting theead she gets off
Hello Donna, we are sorry to hear you and your pup are having an issue with the harness.

my dog puts more effort into biting at it instead of actually eating the treat it’s not even on her 😭
We're sorry to hear your dog has not yet adjusted to her new head collar!
It's possible that continuing to offer high value treats to your dog when introducing the head collar may help adjust her to it, until she can gradually be encouraged to place her face within the loop.
If this does not help, it's possible a different solution may be a better fit for her needs. Should this be the case, please reach out to PetSafe® Customer Care so that we can discuss options with you. Our number is 1-800-732-2677, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 8 P.M.

How?
@@jimmyjames6318 ANY tool can cause issues which is why it's important to actually TEACH your dog to walk calmly on a leash. However, your dog still needs walks in the meantime, so this can be helpful while you're teaching your dog. Prong collars can cause WAY more damage to the neck.

13 minute video for a leash. Listen, I don't need a promo. I need to know why the Gentle Leader isn't fitting correctly. It's a tricky leash to put on correctly, and if you do it wrong, the leash leads from the top of the snout, which is frustrating for the dog and the human.
