Gentle Leader Dog Halti Head Collar

Enjoy safer, stress-free walks with the Gentle Leader Dog Halti Head Collar. The Gentle Leader is not a muzzle. When fitted properly, your dog is 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. It 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.

More than 5 million dog owners have found the secret to controlling their dogs on walks. Imagine if each time your dog tugged on the leash, it turned him around. He just might find that he’s not getting anywhere. That’s the whole idea. The Gentle Leader headcollar fits securely over your dog’s nose. The nose loop redirects his head towards you when he pulls forward, preventing pulling and giving you his full attention.

Key Features;
– Reduces pulling on the leash
– Perfect for training dogs to heel
– Easy to fit and gets the dog used to wearing it
– The collar sits high on dog’s neck without putting pressure on the throat
– Nose loop redirects dog without the need for a muzzle
– Comes with detailed instructions and a training DVD

Fitting your dog:

– The Neck Loop should be snug (like a belt or a shoe) so one finger can barely fit between the strap and neck and will not rotate. It must fit as high on the neck as possible, directly behind the ears and above the Adam’s apple in front. The snugger the Neck Loop, the looser the Nose Loop can be.

– The Nose Loop should be in front of your dog’s eyes and behind the corners of his mouth. It should be loose enough to move freely toward the fleshy part of the nose but not so loose that it can be pulled off the muzzle.

– Be certain to check the fit every day, especially on growing pups: Is the Neck Strap close-fitting and snug high behind the ears? Is the Nose Loop comfortable and reaching to the fleshy part of the nose, but not so loose that it can be pulled.

– After you dog has reached his full growth, you can remove any excess length of the Neck Strap. With the head collar off your dog, cut the strap with scissors and use a flame to seal the cut edge and prevent fraying.
