The Gentle Leader Headcollar finally offers a fast, gentle and effective way to control unwanted behaviour - without harsh methods or devices! Because it's scientifically designed to work with your dog's natural instincts, behaviour changes in minutes - not weeks!

At iQ Dog Toys we recommend this product as well as Easy Walk Harness. Where the Easy Walk Harness works less well, the Gentle Leader will "fix" chronic lead pullers where no amount of training would fix this. 

The Gentle Leader Headcollar stops pulling, lunging, jumping, and other unwanted behaviors with immediate, gentle control. Unlike traditional collars, the Gentle 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 dog’s head in the direction you want to go. Most dogs quickly learn to stop pulling and start paying attention to you during walks.

Key Features

Sizing

Choosing the correct size of the Gentle Leader Headcollar for your dog is simple. All you need to know is the approximate weight of your dog. The only exception is that certain breeds with specifically large or small heads may use a size other than what is listed for body weight. Please note - all sizes are adjustable to fit a variety of breeds in the specified weight range.
 

• Small - Fits dogs and puppies that will have an adult weight of 5-10Kgs. Includes toy breeds and small dogs with a narrow, small muzzle. Examples: Toy Poodle, Lhasa Apso, Dachshund, Bichon, small Sheltie, Pomeranian, Shih-Tzu, Basenji, Fox Terriers, Jack Russels, Beagles etc.

• Medium - Fits dogs and puppies that will have an adult weight of 10-27 Kgs. Also includes small dogs with a broad muzzle. Examples: Cocker, Spinger, Brittany, Collie, Beagle, Airedale, Australian Shepherd, Samoyed, Norwegian Elkhound, Kelpies, Pointers, Blue Heelers, etc.

Before fitting the Gentle Leader for the first time, make sure you have thoroughly read the instructions that come with it. The Gentle Leader is not difficult to use, but it is not used like a traditional collar and trying to use it like a traditional collar will only cause problems.
