 It really does work July 16, 2007
They call it the 10 minute attitude adjuster & it is just that!! Me & my fiancee have not had enough time to really train our dog Harley correctly yet because of work schedules & being on vacation, but the few times we have had it on him it totally changes him. I am a firm believer that this product works great. Harley is a 68lb Pit Bull/Shepard mix & unbelievely strong. It is all my 200lb financee can do to not be dragged by Harley when we go for walks with a regular collar & leash, & I hardly ever try unless I want a good workout during my walk!! But Harley totally changes when the Gentle Leader is put on him. He stops pulling & dragging us & he minds better & listens to his commands better with it on. He was even around a few other dogs when he had it on & he totally ignored the other dogs (which he NEVER does)!! I can't wait until we have more time to finish training him with the Gentle Leader. It is a life saver & you don't look like an idot trying to walk the dog anymore!!
Great product & on time February 22, 2007

I own a rescued German Shepherd who has done extremely well in the past six months since we adopted her. She was always kept outdoors prior to adoption, and now has perfect indoor manners. She has mastered walking on a loose leash..... except when we pass a smaller dog that acts aggressively towards her.
She goes nuts over small dogs and try as I might, I haven't been able to correct this behavior.
She pulls with such force that it's a danger to both her and the person walking her.. not to mention it scares other people! My vet advised me on the Gentle Leader and I'm absolutely amazed with the results. Unlike a pinch or a choke collar, this device ensures that you are controlling the upper neck and muzzle area at all times.... instead of the base of the neck where a dog is strongest. It's easy to keep her in line using only the muscles in my wrist and forearm.
This is a great product!

I have used it 8 years for my dogs and our obedience trainers use it on regular basis. It is an excellent training device to prevent pulling and is not based so much on "alpha" theory described above but on fact that dogs pulling strength is more than 10 times lower when restrained by head. It basically works like horses head collar, restraining and leading the head. Dogs tend to pull against pressure. If dog realises that it can not drag you along with it no matter how hard he pulls he just stops pulling. If you control dogs head you control the dog. If you control the dog it will obey and you will become a leader. A gentle one, because no yelling or no negative reinforcement is involved, just a device what makes you physically stronger then your dog. That's how Gentle Leader works as a general obedience device.
Gentle leader is essential for giant breed owners first for safety on walking as dog is always physically under owners control and second for preventing owners shoulder injuries.
I have tried also Halti but find Gentle Leader nose strap being softer and gentler for nose fur. Also Gentle Leader keeps better on when dog pulls backwards, Halti usually comes off then.
Amazing Product! June 4, 2006

As a private dog trainer, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite products. Properly fitted, the Gentle Leader causes no pain or discomfort to the dog. In the beginning, it is normal for the dog to struggle a little but, but that's only because dogs typically do not take kindly to anything new being placed on their body. To ease your dog into the head collar, give him lots of love and attention (food too) when you put it on him. Never shout or punish your dog for his attempts to remove the collar, as this will only raise his stress level.
I put all of my clients on the Gentle Leader right away, and you wouldn't believe the results!
