No More Choke Collars |

We recommend Gentle Leader halters & harnesses instead of choke collars for walking your dog.
Used correctly, they give you more control over your dog.
They also keep your dog from suffering neck injuries from pulling on a choke or buckle collar. We have seen injuries in all sizes of dogs where there has been damage to the trachea and the nerves, muscles, and bones of the neck. |

Gentle Leader Halters are not muzzles. As a matter of fact, your dog can eat, drink, pant, and even bite with a halter on.
We carry a wide variety of Gentle Leader halters and Gentle Leader Easy walk harnesses in all sizes and colors. Let us fit your dog with the proper size and give you instructions on how to help him become used to it. |

Even the smallest pet can be fitted with a Gentle Leader Halter!
Why should I use a Gentle Leader Head Halter?
Gentle Leaders are head halters used to improve control of your dog. The Gentle Leader quickly controls pulling, lunging, jumping and barking, and teaches sit in one easy lesson. It can teach good manners to puppies and dogs of any age. |

How does a Gentle Leader work?
The Gentle Leader has two areas that it applies pressure to: the nose loop and the neck strap.
The Nose
Loop - Dogs are naturally "pack" animals with a highly structured social order. One of the ways the "pack leader" will demonstrate his position is to gently but firmly grasp a subordinate's muzzle in his mouth. This is a nonaggressive but very clear signal regarding who's the boss! The Gentle Leaders nose loop fits loosely and comfortably across the base of the halter, encircling your dog's muzzle in the same manner, letting him know in his own language that you are his leader.
The Neck Strap - Have you ever noticed how puppies melt in relaxation when their mother picks them up at the back of the neck? The Gentle Leader neck strap fits high and snug at the top of the neck, applying pressure to the back of the neck rather than the front of the throat, working with your dog's natural relaxation instinct with an amazing calming effect. Also, dogs tend to pull against pressure, so the gentle pressure at the back of the neck causes the dog to pull backward, not forward. This means an end to leash pulling, choking and gagging forever! |

When would an Easy Walk Harness be useful?
The Easy Walk Harness is also designed to discourage your pet from pulling on a leash and will never cause neck injury, choking, gagging, and coughing that a choke or buckle collar can cause. For the average dog without problem behaviors, it may be the perfect choice.
The Gentle Leader Halter is helpful in managing behavior problems including fear, anxiety, aggression and excessive barking with the assistance of a trained veterinary professional. The Halter is also the best choice if your pet has issues with jumping or lunging.
