• Reduces pulling on the leash and other unwanted behaviors such as barking, lunging, or jumping.
• A great accessory for training dogs to heel or focus by providing immediate gentle control.
• Collar sits high on your dog’s neck, keeping pressure on the back of the neck instead of the delicate throat.
• Adjustable nylon straps and neoprene padded nose loop provide maximum comfort for prolonged wear.
• Pick a fun and vibrant pattern that matches your pup’s personality best.

The PetSafe Gentle Leader Chic Padded Dog Headcollar & Leash prevents pulling, lunging, jumping, and other undesired behaviors with immediate control. Unlike traditional collars, this leader places pressure on the back of the neck instead of the front of the delicate throat, preventing choking and coughing. The nose loop allows you to direct your pup’s head in the direction you want to go, training your dog to stop pulling and start paying attention during walks. Help refocus your furry friend’s attention away from the squirrel, dog, or stranger across the street, and keep him focused and calm when out and about.

Precautions

Follow instructions carefully when fitting and using on bulldogs and other breeds with genetically limited airways or flat noses. It is typical for these dogs to frequently experience breathing difficulties when exercising or under stress because of their physically limited airways. If their usual breathing difficulties increase when wearing the head collar, immediately discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

• Open neck strap and hold one end in each hand. The nose loop should hang down, like the letter T.

• Position the neck strap as high up as possible, just behind the ears. Gently pull any excess skin and coat down and out from under the neck strap.

• Neck strap must be snug so only one finger can fit under it, and it cannot rotate around the neck. If the neck strap rotates, so will the nose loop, which may cause chafing of the skin.

• Remove the headcollar neck strap and prepare to fit the nose loop up through the centerbar ring. Be ready with some tasty treats.

• Hold the nose loop open and feed a treat through the loop. You want to encourage your dog to place his nose through the loop by offering a treat.

• Snap neck strap high on the neck at its pre-fitted position. Make final adjustment to nose loop by sliding the snap clamp up or down to adjust. With thumb and index finger, pinch nose loop underneath the snap clamp, temporarily holding it.

• Test fit the nose loop by pulling it forward. When it touches the beginning of the fleshy part of the nose, but is not so loose that you can pull it off the nose, close snap clamp by pressing down on tab, you’ll hear a snap as it locks. Connect leash to “O” ring.

• Final fit. When properly fitted and viewed from the side headcollar will resemble a “V” and the center bar will rest above the tracheal area.
