Dog Head Halters

It’s the best product for dogs that love to pull on the leash!

It’s a weird looking contraption, but don’t let that deter you. It’s the best thing since sliced bread. 🙂

Pros

• Instant results! In class, we recommend them for tiny Terriers to large Mastiffs.
• It works great for dogs that love to watch other people in class, instead of their pet parent.
• There are a variety of colors and sizes (even extra padding on the nose loop for comfort!).
• It has a snug fit.
• It’s worth mentioning again: you get instant results!

Cons

• Your dog must be conditioned (get used to wearing it) before it using in class or on walks.
• Owners must learn how to use it properly.

– Never attach a retractable leash to this product ever.
– Never pull or jerk your dog. That can cause neck damage.
– Never leave it on an unattended dog.

• It can be a bit tricky to put on your dog at first. Manufacturers do provide easy-to-understand instructions.

Fanna’s Favorite Head Halter: Premier Gentle Leader

Every year, another vendor creates or updates a head halter and I’m the first one to try it out. Aren’t we all looking for that magic product?! I am! I’ve tried every one of them even the prototypes. Every time, I come right back to the Gentle Leader.  I still have Gentle Leaders from 10 years ago, which have been heavily used. I love the quality!

Why I love the Premier Gentle Leader:

• Head and nose straps fit perfectly without causing undue stress to the dog.
• They’re easy for owners to put on, adjust and take off their dogs.
• They’re very sturdy. Dogs can not pull their heads out or easily break the halters.
• It’s machine washable.
