Gentle Leader Head Collar Red

Take control of your walks with the Gentle Leader Head Collar Red, a humane and effective way to discourage pulling and improve overall behaviour. Unlike traditional collars, it gently guides your dog's head to reduce unwanted actions without harsh corrections. When properly fitted, it delivers quick results and a more positive walking experience. Often referred to as the 10 Minute Attitude Adjuster , the Gentle Leader is a recommended training aid for teaching loose-lead walking and managing jumping using positive reinforcement.

Designed to work in harmony with your dog's natural instincts, the Gentle Leader Headcollar features two soft nylon straps with specific functions. The collar strap fits high on the neck, while the nose loop sits loosely across the muzzle for a secure yet comfortable fit.

  • Nose Loop provides gentle guidance that mirrors natural pack leadership cues, helping dogs recognise direction without harsh correction.
  • Neck Strap applies light pressure at the back of the neck, a calming area for dogs, encouraging them to relax and reducing the urge to pull forward on the lead.

  • Comfortable two-strap nylon construction

Directions for use
  1. Select the appropriate size using your dog's approximate body weight.
    • All Gentle Leader sizes are adjustable; head shape may influence sizing.
    • Medium and large breed puppies can start with a Medium from 8 10 weeks up to 66 lbs.
    • Large breed puppies over 44 lbs should begin with a Large.
    • Short-snout dogs should use the Short Snout model in Medium or Large.
  2. Adjust the Neck Loop to sit high behind the ears with a snug, non-rotating fit.
  3. Keep the Neck Loop snug so the Nose Loop can remain looser.
  4. Position the Nose Loop forward of the eyes and behind the corners of the mouth.
  5. Ensure the Nose Loop reaches the fleshy part of the nose without slipping off.
  6. Review the fit daily, especially during growth stages.
