I use this for my …
I use this for my german shepherd and I love it. She was already highly trained by me beforehand so its wasn’t bought to control pulling. They are lightweight, gentle, and comfortable unlike most other collars and works well for the rare occasion where I do correct her behaviour. Mostly it gives me total control when we are going for runs because I can just lightly tug her head to tell her she needs to slow down. I did try this collar on my uncle’s boxer who pulls and it worked wonders.
Gentle Leader is OK …
Gentle Leader is OK for certain sensitive dogs, but still not very healthy since it twist the dog’s neck muscles. Dogs are not horses. If you used Choke Chain or Prong collar correctly, you do not need to be yanking a dog nor is painful to them. There are many ways and methods to train dogs, but none is the best. You just have to find what works for one particular dog as each dogs are different.
They come in small, …
They come in small, medium and large and are adjustable to a certain extent. By the time you start walking your puppy daily on a lead they should be in the size of gentle leader that they’ll be using forever. My Great Dane, for example, stayed in a large from 8 months to 9 years. All we had to do was adjust the size.
My Siberian Husky …
My Siberian Husky took around 4 weeks, he is around a year old now though.
if i use a head …
if i use a head halter can i use it on my puppy and then she can grow into or will i have to buy a new one l8er?
Yes. Great point …
Yes. Great point made. Whenever using a prong or one of these or similar collars you should have a backup if the dog gets loose.
ucdcrush, props to you
and if someone else had already brought this point up, props to you as well 
i want one of those …
i want one of those 4 my dogs…..my old dog isnt rly a prob. cause hes old and gtes tired out easily…i still want one 4 him tho cause the 1st block he will pull alot……and i also have a 2 yr old dog that will choke herself from pulling so much!!!!!!
as long as it takes …
as long as it takes u to make the dog understand
i never had anything but a soft leash looped as a choker
with my weim(adopted at 3), i taught her heel first on leash, then on off leash walks, started practicing offleash Heel, within a few sessions she was doing it
offleash it helps to stick ur hands out low- and to ur sides to make the dog understand the barrier
but shed rather be out scouting and smelling!
I like the Halti …
I like the Halti better since it has a “safety leash” included with it. In case the dog struggles and removes the harness from their head, there is still a leash attached to their collar via this safety leash.
how long usually …
how long usually till the dog walks naturally by my side without the gentle leader?
Yes! My great dane …
Yes! My great dane settles right in beside me after a few tugs and walks naturally at my side. If your dog isn’t used to walking like that, it make take a few minutes, but I’ve seen really obstinate pullers do the same thing within 5 to 10 minutes of walking. My friend used one on her dog, but made sure that the first time they walked with it, she did it around her backyard so there would be less distractions
I love the gentle …
I love the gentle leader, I dog sit and it makes my life much easier walking the groups together w none of them pulling. i highly recommend this to anyone who has a dog that freaks out or generally pulls! I love it, and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world
Will the dog stop …
Will the dog stop pulling after awhile on this collar or are you going to have to have it on each time for it not to pull?

We have these …
We have these collars for both our Golden Retriever and German Shepherd and they are a huge lifesaver, especially with our young Golden who loves to pull the leash!
I bought a GL for …
I bought a GL for my GSD and he stopped pulling right away, but after the first use, i noticed it left a mark across his nose. After using the GL a couple more times, the mark i was seeing in the fur, was actually the skin being broken. This collar was fitting properly, yet cut my dogs nose, i have returned the leader to the store, and have gone back to training. I will add that i did fit the GL properly.and was told by the GL rep. this sometimes happens .
is anyone having …
is anyone having problems with the GL hurting (rub burning) the dog’s muzzle? especially on the top and sides?
I use the GL on my …
I use the GL on my two boxers and It’s worth every penny. I can walk my two doggies with one pinky. No more pulling and being dragged around. I love this item and would highly recommend it to everyone who “would like to take their dogs on walks more often”.
Thanks for this …
Thanks for this video. I haven’t used my dog’s Gentle Leader for a while, and when I went to put it on him yesterday, I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t look right. Your video clarified exactly how to put it on properly.
you can finde VERY …
you can finde VERY small ones they come in all sizes. any dog,of any age can use it if it is used corretly,because as he said,there is no pain.
thanks alot man!!!! …
thanks alot man!!!!!!
you have thoose …
you have thoose things for labs to, but youre dog is young and still learns easy, you should not need that, actually only older dogs without a good training need that.
its seems like a …
its seems like a good collar for medium dogs and maybe even some MATURE dogs but my 11 month old labrador is 1 of the most enerjetic and unmature labs in the world but if he gets a hang of somthing he is great but when it comes to walking he actually walks me instead of me walking him sooooo!!!
since he pulls more than a bull!!! should i use this and if i do when my dog pulls really hard will it inflict pain????
PLZ REPLY SOME 1!!!!!!!!!!!!
my dog hates the GL …
my dog hates the GL, but we have only had it on her for one day. Im not sure if i should stop using it, or try it out for a little longer. She will not go to the bathroom with it on.
Just used the GL …
Just used the GL for the first time on a big rescue dog I’ve had for 2 months…I’m amazed. He’s a good dog other than his lack of leash-training…at 75 lbs to my 110, dog-walking was a major pain. Aside from trying to rub it off twice, we’ve just come back from a relaxed 2-hour walk. It’s almost as if the GL triggered some old obedience lessons he’d had in the past…he heeled 90% of the time…80% up from previous walks!
