Although it might appear cruel to use a leash on a dog, let’s face it sometimes we have to do it predominantly in scenarios where he might behave erratically.
Don’t forget too that during obedience classes a collar and leash are necessary equipment, to persuade him to obey commands and curb him when he isn’t playing ball.
The design of standard collars and leashes mean that all the pressure is concentrated around the neck and throat.
Choke chains are worse as they can bruise and continually constrict around the throat.
This kind of sensation does not provide a positive experience for the dog when training, so DogBuffs is really pleased to introduce the next product.
Made by Premier, the Gentle Leader Headcollar, comes with warm recommendation from vets and trainers as it is much safer than other restraint devices, does not constrict the throat and provides a much more agreeable and calm restraint for a dog.
Terror can set in if your dog feels that he is being choked, which can be very counterproductive to a calm trusting relationship.
Once alarmed your dog’s ability to take in training commands will be severely limited.
The Gentle leader is a much kinder yet effective method of providing total head control.
The smooth nylon of which the Gentle Leader is made is soft against skin, and it is worn on the head with an added piece over the nose.
If your dog lunges, The Gentle Leader works by applying pressure to both the nose and the base of the head, giving a more complete level of control over the dog.
Dogs will respond much better to this form of restraint as they won’t feel threatened or panicked.
It’s so much easier to train and control a calm dog rather than one who is frightened.
They come in two colors, red and blue and in four sizes, extra large for the big boys such as Danes and Rottweilers, large for Labs, medium for collies and so on and small for our little canine friends.
This also means that as your dog grows you can upgrade to the next size up.
A dvd accompanies the product to show you how best the get the maximum benefit.
This product is a simple must-have for any dog owner, and so reasonably priced you have no excuse not to get one.
Control with kindness with the Gentle Leader.
