PetSafe Gentle Leader Head Collar, Medium

Stops pulling

Best for: Strong dogs that pull on the lead

A head halter that sits around the muzzle and behind the ears, so when your dog pulls, their head is gently turned back towards you. Many owners see a big difference on the first walk.

Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Big, strong dogs that drag their owners, and anyone who needs more control while training loose-lead walking.

Who should skip it

Flat-faced breeds with very short muzzles, where a front-clip harness is usually a better fit.

Tips

Introduce it slowly with treats over a few days before your first walk. Expect some pawing at the nose loop at first. Use a loose lead and never jerk — the halter works by gentle redirection.

Questions owners ask

Is the Gentle Leader a muzzle?

No. Your dog can still eat, drink, pant and bark while wearing it.

How tight should it be?

The neck strap should be snug — one finger underneath — and the nose loop loose enough to slide to the base of the nose.
