Beaphar | Gentle Leader | Head Collar for Medium Dogs | Stops Pulling On The Lead | Training Aid with Immediate Effect | Endorsed by Behaviourists | Black x 1

I've struggled for the last three years to stop my Cockapoo pulling. Some days she literally drags me if she thinks I'm too slow. So after a recommendation I bought the leader. I didn't expect a lot but I did hope. Firstly it was so easy to fit in her. Second it was well clear of her eyes & looked so neat. It's fully adjustable too.So off we go on our first walk wearing it. For about five minutes she tried removing it with her paws, then rubbed her face against a fence. A quiet No each time & she stopped. From that moment on she walked quietly by my side, sitting when I stopped & kept pace with me. There was absolutely no pulling it was fantastic. It's well made & quote strong so I think it will last. But even if it doesn't last a long time I would definitely buy another one as it's worked & walks are now a pleasure. I'm an octogenarian, my dog is a medium size strong girl so that should give you an idea how brilliant this leader is.

Excellent, this is the second gentle leader I've bought. Most dogs don't like the leader at first, just persist. Once used to wearing the leader start the walking training and you'll get results in a few days. Excellent packaging and speedy delivery.

This product I would have willing thrown in the bin if I had not persevered. Putting it on was a mystery to me until I had practiced and watch a couple of videos. So, there was not a lot of information with the lead. (The important thing is you pull up the centre loop before you do anything else, in addition, if you attach a lead first you can put your foot on the lead, then attach the Gentle Leader second, then put the two together if that helps anyone)Back to the review. This is a great tool to help you walk your dog safely. If we don’t put this on boy do we notice the difference! It ensure a gentle pull to the side will stop your dog from pulling, from jumping up at strangers or other dogs. So, I would entirely recommend it. Our dog is a 30kg puppy. We needed this big time.It sometimes twists, it is a thin band, I wonder if it were a little broader on the nose it might be more comfortable and it cause a few knots in the fur under the chin or on the top but our pup has long fur. Probably a small price to pay for his safety. Once you get used to this it is VERY EASY to put on it is just technique, I can’t believe how easy it is - now I know how. So you probably won’t have an issue and if you do there’s a few videos online you can watch. Of course, our pup did not welcome the idea of being controlled in such a fashion, why would he? However, with a few sessions and. A few treats he was fine. He sometimes rubs his face, maybe rubs it on the floor or my legs but I think he would do that no matter what he was wearing.

This works great! However, the plastic clip isn't very strong and broke quite quickly. I have purchased a few as it works so well and 100% works against pulling. It's a a shame the clip isn't stronger.

Works a treat!I usually use a Halti or figure of eight collar.This better on all counts. Just a gentle twitch of the lead and you get a response. None if the pawing at it, rubbing it I have had with other similar collars. Easy to fit- ordered l for my Dobermann and could probably have got away with a medium..

Great gentle control. Works very well

This is the first product review that I've written on Amazon but I'm so impressed with the results I've had this head collar / lead that I had to write the experience up. I'm about 1 week in using this head collar and here is what I can say so far after such a short period of time.I can easily politely describe my 7 month old German Shepherd Mitzy as a problem dog. I've been taking her out for walks after she had all of her vaccination shots around the 12 week / 3 month mark and she's been dragging my arms out of their sockets ever since. I read that this is normal reaction to being on a lead for some dogs because they naturally like to pull against resistance but definitely not good for me because every walk used to be like a workout - on one particular occasion she moved forwards and then reversed in the opposite direction so fast that my left shoulder was in spasm for about a week.Mitzy has a tendency to get very agitated when she sees other dogs out walking. She tends to bark and lunge at other dogs and I'm afraid to say that on a few occasions she's scared the life out of other pedestrians with her barking and dragging antics.I had a false start with one of these Gentle Leader head collars that I bought from a local pet store; I left it on the worktop after taking it out of the plastic wrapper, turned my back for about a minute and Mitzy had pretty much eaten and destroyed it before we'd even had a chance to try it out. Undeterred, I bought another from Mr Pets on Amazon and I'm so happy I did.I won't lie, Mitzy really didn't like this on her head at first. She was twisting around and around trying to get it off. It took about 15 minutes or so of walking and talking her around the house and garden before I felt happy enough to have a go taking her for a proper walk. Once we were outside walking properly, she was instantly transformed from the dog on a lead that she'd been for months prior to this - the pulling was completely and immediately gone. On this first walk she occasionally stopped and would try and pull the lead off with her paws but with a little bit of gentle coaxing and a small treat, we'd be off again.Since that 1st walk she's been getting better and more used to the gentle leader every day. Mitzy walks right beside me to heel if I shorten the lead and there's always no pulling at all. Altogether she is a transformed dog when out walking and much less irritated and disturbed by other dogs on leads and other people walking close / coming up behind us. I feel more confident with her near other people on the pavement and she's altogether a lot calmer than she was.Prior to getting and using this collar I'd tried a control body harness, a half check collar and a training lead. I'd had minor success with the other things but this gentle leader collar really is the one. It's really easy to put on / get off quickly too which is great for reducing trauma in this area for both dog and owner at the start / end of the walk. 5 stars - fabulous.
