Training Your Pet with the Gentle Leader® Headcollar

Keep in Mind:

Acclimation time will vary for each dog.

Refrain from leaving the headcollar on your dog when unsupervised to avoid chew damage.

Headcollar is not a muzzle and will not prevent your pet from biting.

Give treats to help make wearing the headcollar a positive experience for your dog.

Offer praise while acclimating to the headcollar.

Four to six foot non-retractable leash

Important: The Gentle Leader® Headcollar is not recommended for jogging, running, bike attachments or couplers.

Training

Note: Tension on the leash corrects unwanted behavior by redirecting your pet into the correct position.

No tension on the leash rewards your pet for good behavior.

Redirect your pet to your side by slowing down or stopping as soon as there is tension on the leash.
