Beaphar | Gentle Leader | Head Collar for Medium Dogs | Stops Pulling On The Lead | Training Aid with Immediate Effect | Endorsed by Behaviourists | Black x 1

Great gentle control. Works very well

I've struggled for the last three years to stop my Cockapoo pulling. Some days she literally drags me if she thinks I'm too slow. So after a recommendation I bought the leader. I didn't expect a lot but I did hope. Firstly it was so easy to fit in her. Second it was well clear of her eyes & looked so neat. It's fully adjustable too.So off we go on our first walk wearing it. For about five minutes she tried removing it with her paws, then rubbed her face against a fence. A quiet No each time & she stopped. From that moment on she walked quietly by my side, sitting when I stopped & kept pace with me. There was absolutely no pulling it was fantastic. It's well made & quote strong so I think it will last. But even if it doesn't last a long time I would definitely buy another one as it's worked & walks are now a pleasure. I'm an octogenarian, my dog is a medium size strong girl so that should give you an idea how brilliant this leader is.

Really pleased with this product. My dog didn't mind having it on at all. She pawed at it once the very first time it was on and once more after I washed it and it shrunk a little so was a bit tight (ooops!), but it did relax again back to normal size after a short time!I paired it with lots of treats to get positioning right while on walks and it's made them an absolute joy. I was getting quite severe shoulder pain from pulling before I used this. My dog will walk to heal, but only for a short time and then I'd lose connection with her and she'd yank at the end of the lead. This corrected the issue as I had hoped.The instructions are endearing, if a little old fashioned. I did find it tricky to put on as the nose loop will always slip when it is not worn so you have to fiddle with it slightly to position it correctly before putting it on. The plastic clip seemed sturdy for what it is.I also bought a separate safety attachment as it didn't come with one, just to be safe rather than sorry.I've used it for a month now, but have decided to upgrade to a Halti, but the one with the separate loop around the nose and one underneath that tightens with pressure rather than the one with the same design as this. My concern with this one was that, although it didn't ride up into my girl's eyes when I had it correctly fitted, the loop would move slightly around her face if she was on one side of me for a while and that did bring it closer to her eye than I was happy with. I went for a head collar with more structure as a result.Having said that, the first time I used the new collar I attached the lead to the wrong bit and so there was no pressure on the head collar and she walked beautifully because she was used to wearing this one and walking so nicely!Overall I am really happy and it is very good value, especially as a way to check your dog will respond well without spending a lot. It made a big difference to walks, but does need to be paired with training in my opinion.

This works great! However, the plastic clip isn't very strong and broke quite quickly. I have purchased a few as it works so well and 100% works against pulling. It's a a shame the clip isn't stronger.

This is the first product review that I've written on Amazon but I'm so impressed with the results I've had this head collar / lead that I had to write the experience up. I'm about 1 week in using this head collar and here is what I can say so far after such a short period of time.I can easily politely describe my 7 month old German Shepherd Mitzy as a problem dog. I've been taking her out for walks after she had all of her vaccination shots around the 12 week / 3 month mark and she's been dragging my arms out of their sockets ever since. I read that this is normal reaction to being on a lead for some dogs because they naturally like to pull against resistance but definitely not good for me because every walk used to be like a workout - on one particular occasion she moved forwards and then reversed in the opposite direction so fast that my left shoulder was in spasm for about a week.Mitzy has a tendency to get very agitated when she sees other dogs out walking. She tends to bark and lunge at other dogs and I'm afraid to say that on a few occasions she's scared the life out of other pedestrians with her barking and dragging antics.I had a false start with one of these Gentle Leader head collars that I bought from a local pet store; I left it on the worktop after taking it out of the plastic wrapper, turned my back for about a minute and Mitzy had pretty much eaten and destroyed it before we'd even had a chance to try it out. Undeterred, I bought another from Mr Pets on Amazon and I'm so happy I did.I won't lie, Mitzy really didn't like this on her head at first. She was twisting around and around trying to get it off. It took about 15 minutes or so of walking and talking her around the house and garden before I felt happy enough to have a go taking her for a proper walk. Once we were outside walking properly, she was instantly transformed from the dog on a lead that she'd been for months prior to this - the pulling was completely and immediately gone. On this first walk she occasionally stopped and would try and pull the lead off with her paws but with a little bit of gentle coaxing and a small treat, we'd be off again.Since that 1st walk she's been getting better and more used to the gentle leader every day. Mitzy walks right beside me to heel if I shorten the lead and there's always no pulling at all. Altogether she is a transformed dog when out walking and much less irritated and disturbed by other dogs on leads and other people walking close / coming up behind us. I feel more confident with her near other people on the pavement and she's altogether a lot calmer than she was.Prior to getting and using this collar I'd tried a control body harness, a half check collar and a training lead. I'd had minor success with the other things but this gentle leader collar really is the one. It's really easy to put on / get off quickly too which is great for reducing trauma in this area for both dog and owner at the start / end of the walk. 5 stars - fabulous.

Good quality product. Works a treat on my dog who loves to pull on the lead! Of course he doesn’t like it but we get on with it! It saves my sore shoulder.
