Beaphar Gentle Leader® Black Head Collar for Large Dogs

For unruly dogs, Beaphar Gentle Leader® is a head collar that helps to stop pulling on lead as well as reducing unwanted behaviours, such as jumping up, chasing wildlife, and picking up debris, whilst on walks. This unique patented technology is used by dog trainers, behaviourists and vets globally and has been scientifically developed to counter-act a dog’s instinct to pull. Pulling stops within minutes and makes walks more enjoyable for all.

  • STOPS PULLING ON THE LEAD AND MAKES WALKS ENJOYABLE: Beaphar Gentle Leader® stops your dog from pulling on the lead and puts you in control on walks. The head collar fits on the back of the neck and across the nose, so where the lead goes the dog follows.
  • CONTROLS IN A NATURAL WAY: Beaphar Gentle Leader® works in three ways: 1. Gentle pressure is transferred to the back of the neck, naturally stimulating a relaxation response, the same as when a mother carries a puppy by the scruff of its neck. 2. Gentle pressure around the muzzle also produced a relaxation response, and 3. works like a halter, where the nose goes, the dog follows, for control when walking.
  • EASY TO FIT AND COMFORTABLE TO WEAR: Strong and durable fabric has a soft weave that is designed for comfort.
  • WORKS IN MINUTES, NOT WEEKS: The effect of Beaphar Gentle Leader® is instant. For best results, use on all walks as part of a training regime. It’s a life-long concept, making walks more enjoyable for your both.
  • PATENTED TECHNOLOGY USED BY LEADING ANIMAL BEHAVIOURISTS, TRAINERS AND VETS: Beaphar Gentle Leader® is used in training by animal specialists, globally.

Description

The Beaphar Gentle Leader® is a unique and patented design that works by mimicking the natural muzzle grab, which more confident and higher-ranking dogs, and other canine species, perform in their pack. Dogs use the muzzle grab to communicate reassurance, reaffirm their bond and to deter unwanted behaviour. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® is not just a ‘training aid’ but a life concept, that will help you and your dog to form a positive connection and bond, with you as their pack leader. It provides kind and effective leadership, and makes training at home quick, simple and fun for both you and your dog. Once fitted correctly, your dog will learn the positive association of the action of the Beaphar Gentle Leader®, working with your dog’s natural instinct to stop them from pulling on the lead, running forward, lurching at other pets and people, and other unwanted behaviours on the lead. Walking on a lead is a skill that needs to be learnt, and a dog's natural instinct is to pull against something that is applying restraint. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® helps to counter this in three ways: 1. Gentle pressure is transferred to the back of the neck, naturally stimulating a relaxation response (similar to when a mother carries a puppy by the scruff of its neck). 2. Gentle pressure is applied around the muzzle from the nose loop, communicating your reassuring control. 3. It works like a halter rope – where the nose goes, the body will follow. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® was designed by veterinary surgeon Professor Robert Anderson, Director of the Animal Behaviour Clinic at the University of Minnesota, USA and Ruth Foster, former President of the American National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® is easy-to-fit and adjust. Unless your dog is young and still growing, once correctly fitted on your dog, it is unlikely for there to be a need for it to be adjusted. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® is easy-to-fit and adjust. Suitable for dogs from 8 weeks of age.

Instructions

ALWAYS FULLY READ THE PRODUCT LEAFLET AND PACKAGING BEFORE USE. There are several components to the Beaphar Gentle Leader® and it is important to ensure they are fitted correctly for it to be effective and comfortable for your dog. These are: •Neck strap – fits around your dog’s neck as would a collar. •Buckle – forms part of the neck strap, connects either end as you would a collar. •Nose loop – fits around your dog’s nose. •Adjustable sliding clamp – to reduce or increase the size of the nose loop. •Centre double D-ring – enables the nose loop to apply pressure as your dog pulls and instantly release when they stop. •Control ring – where you attach your dog’s lead. 1.Attach your dog’s normal lead to the control ring on the Beaphar Gentle Leader®. 2.Release the buckle on the neck strap and hold it at each end. The neck strap and the nose loop with the lead attached should now be hanging down in the shape of a ‘T’. 3.Fit the neck strap around your dog’s neck so that it is touching the base of your dog’s skull at the back and snug above their Adam’s apple at the front. This is much higher than a normal collar. The nose loop should NOT be fitted at this time but left hanging down underneath their chin. 4.You should be able to squeeze one finger underneath the neck strap. This will appear to fit more snugly than a normal collar, but your dog will still be comfortable, able to pant easily and show no signs of distress or discomfort. The correct fit will prevent the Beaphar Gentle Leader® rotating around your dog’s neck. 5.Release the buckle and remove the neck strap from your dog. 6.Open the adjustable sliding clamp and slide this down towards the control ring where the lead is attached. 7.Pull the nose loop up though the centre double D-ring, which is located at the central part of the ‘T’ shape. This is to ensure the nose loop is large enough to fit over your dog’s nose. 8.Holding the neck strap in your hands, slide the nose loop which you have just created over your dog’s nose. Then, connect both ends of the neck strap around your dog’s neck at the position you fitted earlier. 9.Move the adjustable sliding clamp up so it sits just below your dog’s jaw. This will reduce the size of the nose loop so it is correctly fitted to your dog. 10.The nose loop should now sit in front of your dog’s eyes but behind the corners of their mouth, and be loose enough to be pulled forward to the start of the fleshy part of their nose. 11.Make a final adjustment to the nose loop and then close the adjustable sliding clamp to prevent this slipping, and start walking straight away. 12.Once fitted in this way, it should not be necessary to re-open the adjustable sliding clamp, unless your dog is still growing. To remove the Beaphar Gentle Leader®, simply release the buckle on the neck strap and slide the nose loop off. There is no need to undo the sliding clamp. The adjustable sliding clamp is the most technically advanced element of the Beaphar Gentle Leader® and is not designed to be repeatedly opened and closed. If put under habitual stress in this way it is liable to break.
