GENTLE
The Gentle Leader® headcollar offers people who love and respect dogs a new way to promote desirable behavior and strengthen the human - animal bond with their pets!

NATURAL
The Gentle Leader® headcollar does not choke or put pressure on a dog’s throat. Rather, it is a scientific teaching system designed to encourage good behavior and prevent unwanted behavior. It will help you become the leader of a dog that is eager to please!

Dogs have a natural instinct to pull against pressure. Dogs on "choke" or regular collars pull, even though pressure on the throat may cause choking, gasping and pain.

SCIENTIFIC
The Gentle Leader® headcollar harnesses this instinct by putting pressure on the muscles at the back of the neck. When you or your dog apply pressure to the lead attached to the Control Ring, the neck strap and the nose loop pull forward from under the jaw, away from the throat. This puts pressure on the back of the dog’s head. Instinctive resistance to pressure influences your dog to pull backward rather than forward.

Collars such as the "choke" collar, the prong collar and the "no-pull" harness rely on application of discomfort to prevent pulling and lunging. Scientists are well aware that the use of punishment is not effective or efficient in promoting learning. Punishment, particularly that relying on pain, results in establishing fear or aggression. This is not the relationship we want to establish with our canine companions.

HUMANE
The Gentle Leader® headcollar, used correctly, does not rely on pain, but rather humane control, allowing the correct application of behavior modification techniques. It is the #1 recommended head halter by behaviorists world wide!

The Gentle Leader® headcollar is more effective than other collars, such as the "choke", pinch and electric shock, because it allows you to control your dog’s entire body by controlling the head and nose. Wherever the nose goes, the body follows. No matter what breed or size, it provides "power steering" and leadership.

The Gentle Leader® headcollar is not a muzzle. Your dog is free to open its mouth, eat, drink, fetch, bark, and even bite except when you apply pressure on the lead to control the head and close its mouth.

EFFECTIVE
The Gentle Leader® headcollar calms boisterous and overactive dogs. It exerts a calming influence on dogs whose excessive activity bothers family and visitors.

The Gentle Leader® headcollar reassures and comforts shy, fearful and anxious dogs. It conveys to the dog that you are a leader and gives them the confidence that you are in charge.
