Why it's my one of my favorite things: After a few months of being frustrated with my dog for pulling me around, I decided to try the gentle leader. Some have called it the 10 minute miracle, I agree. In the first few minutes, I knew that the choke collar and harness were history.
Pros: The gentle leader is humane, it works on leverage. Does not cause pain. When the dog tries to pull the harness simply tucks the dogs nose (without you jerking or pulling) and if they continue eventually their head will just turn towards the leader. It is NOT a muzzle, the dog can open their mouth. The collar works on a reward system, if they pull it corrects their head position, if they don't pull they are on a loose leash.
Cons: Some dogs try to get it off by pawing at their nose and this is frustrating at first. Also the bottom clip is difficult to adjust, however once adjusted then it is set.
