If your dog lunges and jumps when he sees squirrels (and sniffs other dogs), the Gentle Leader® Headcollar is the perfect solution for teaching better leash manners. Use this training tool for your most determined puller while still allowing him full range of motion to bark, eat, drink and play fetch.
The Gentle Leader® Headcollar loops around your dog’s nose instead of his neck or shoulders like other harnesses. This means when your dog pulls, the headcollar gently moves his head toward you so he can refocus his attention on you and away from the tempting squirrels and distracting smells.
The best part is, once your dog is a champ at walk etiquette, you will probably only have to use the headcollar as a backup during situations when you need a little more control, like vet visits or dog park play dates.
This headcollar is vet recommended, trainer designed and dog parent trusted. If you accidentally purchase the wrong size, or if your dog mistakes his headcollar for a chew toy, our Customer Care experts are happy to assist with replacements or resizing. Your pet deserves the best. Trust PetSafe® to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.
The Gentle Leader Headcollar is an easy-to-fit training tool for teaching your dog better leash manners. When your dog pulls, the Gentle Leader Headcollar gently moves his head and body back towards you. This effectively refocuses his attention to you and off the squirrel, dog, stranger, or other distraction. You can easily train your dog to heel using the Gentle Leader Headcollar plus your preferred training method. Once your dog has learned to let you lead walks, you might only need to use the Gentle Leader Headcollar as a backup during situations when you'll need extra control, like at the vet or dog park.
