Who’s Walking Who? The Gentle Leader Pet-Walking Collar: ALLIE’S PUPGEAR PICKS

Does your dog walk you? Try this incredible collar designed for the scent-sniffing puppy to the powerful-pulling Rottweiler.

I bought the Gentle leader when my Puggle was just 8 weeks old and having quite a bit of trouble taking walks or accompanying me on a jog. He pulled so hard that I found myself spending more time correcting him or trying not to step on him than actually exercising. I almost gave up on running with the little guy until I came across the Gentle Leader in a pet store. I couldn’t imagine leaving my pup indoors while I was enjoying the outside so I bought it. Believe it or not, Buddha and I were running exactly where I wanted to go that very day!

The Collar operates by slipping over your pup’s snout WITHOUT causing pressure on the jaw- allowing your dog to open and close his mouth as he pleases- so it’s NOT a muzzle. The unique design uses your pets own pulling motion to keep him right on track with your movement. I have to admit I was a little hesitant about the collar slipping over my little Puggles nose, but with the adjustable neck AND snout, Boo completely forgot about the collar as soon as we started jogging.

While it may take a little getting used to, the collar is effective almost immediately for most dogs.You can find the Gentle Leader along with a free instructional DVD, online or at most pet stores for a very affordable price.

So toss out those choke and pinch collars, this brilliant design is painless, safe and incredibly effective. No matter if you’re taking a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog,  the Gentle Leader  will allow you to set the pace!
