How does PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar No-Pull Dog Collar work?
Designed by a veterinary behaviorist, the PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar is loved and trusted by vets and pet parents and has helped improve 5 million walks around the world.

The headcollar loops around your dog’s nose, so when he pulls, it gently moves his head toward you so he can refocus his attention on you and away from other distractions.
PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar No-Pull Dog Collar Directions:
- Fit the Neck Strap - Unclip the quick snap buckle and hold the neck straps with the nose loop hanging down. Align the centerbar ring under your pet’s chin, close to his neck. Position the neck strap high on your pet’s neck and fasten the quick snap buckle. Ensure excess fur and skin are not bunched under the strap. Check that only one finger fits between the neck strap and your pet’s neck. Tighten the strap if it is too loose.
- Fit the Nose Loop - Remove the headcollar from your pet before fitting the nose loop. Release the snap clamp by pulling down on the tab and slide it as close to the o-ring as possible. Hold the headcollar by the nose loop so that the snap clamp is up against the centerbar ring. Hold a treat so that your pet places their snout through the nose loop. Let your pet remove their snout once they have received the treat. Repeat until your pet is comfortable placing their snout through the nose loop. Once your pet is comfortable placing their snout through the nose loop, repeat the process, setting the nose loop on their snout. Repeat until your pet is comfortable with the nose loop sitting on their snout. Some pets may take longer to adjust. Repeat the steps until your pet allows the nose loop to sit on their snout. With the nose loop in place, fasten the neck strap. The headcollar will create a V-shape. Slide the snap clamp towards your pet’s chin and hold in place with your thumb and index finger. Check the fit of the nose loop by ensuring that it comes to where the fur ends on your pet’s snout. If it comes down too far, slide the snap clamp up and check again. Secure the snap clamp in place by firmly pressing down on the tab. The snap clamp will make an audible noise when closed.
