The Gentle Leader Head Collar offers a fast, gentle and effective way to control unwanted behaviour - without harsh methods or devices. The Gentle Leader Head collar features two soft nylon straps - the collar portion fits high at the top of the neck, and the nose loop fits loosely and comfortably across the base of the muzzle. It is scientifically designed to work with your dog's natural instincts, so behaviour changes occur in MINUTES - not weeks! The Gentle Leader Head collar should be worn whenever you want to prevent leash pulling, lunging, jumping, barking and other unwanted behaviours. It is NOT a muzzle. An instructional DVD is included.
