"I have found the Gentle Leader^® to be extremely effective in dealing with a variety of problems. Specifically, it is invaluable for dogs which pull on leash, and for dogs which lunge at other dogs or people. The Gentle Leader^® provides a quick and easy-to-use, humane option for concerned owners."

"I started using the Gentle Leader^® in my obedience classes years ago when I was asked to field test the product. It's innovative, humane, easy to use and it works! I know that through the years this device has literally saved the lives of many dogs. I strongly urge all serious trainers to conduct their own test of Gentle Leader^® and discover first-hand what a wonderful addition it can be to their training program."

"There is hardly a dog owner who has not at some point found the awful truth - dog's can pull with the strength of wild horses! Taking a wild and crazy dog and teaching him to walk in public doesn't have to be struggle. Getting a dog to walk on a leash with ease is a matter of a little horse sense and a little ancient technology... Instead of using a collar and leash, the best tool for controlling a wild horse is a halter - and for a dog, the solution is exactly the same. The halter I prefer is the Gentle Leader^®...one of the advantages is that it is convertible. You can use it as a regular collar, or you can use it as a halter at your convenience. If the dog is tugging you can use the nose loop and suddenly you've got a halter. If the dog learns to walk correctly on a leash and is not distracted, then you can slip the nose loop down and use it as a regular collar."

"Last year we fit more than 1,000 of our students' dogs with Gentle Leaders^®. Our students are pleased with the results and we're happy because we know that well trained dogs live longer and healthier lives."

Marti and Deb McCann, McCann Professional Dog Trainers, Ontario, Canada

"I tried Gentle Leader^® on my 3-year-old Border Terrier who had a lifelong habit of jumping on visitors - he gave it up in just a few days! All I had to do was hold the leash so that it became taut when he reached the guest, and he soon chose to sit to greet people. No yelling, no corrections, no elaborate "sit-stay" training. And once "sitting to greet" was learned, it trasnferred to off leash and other situations with ease."

Karen Pryor, International Author & Speaker, Washington

"I've been using the Gentle Leader^® for 1 year both in my classes and private work. It has eliminated the use of pinch collars. It has also enabled pet owners who are older or handicapped to be successful in class. This has helped my business by giving people the control they need. People want quick results, and this is a gentle way of giving them that benefit. I would not be without Gentle Leader^® in either classes or behavior work."

Barb Levinson, Trainer, Pittsburgh, PA

"It's the closest thing to magic I've ever seen. It's so exciting to put Gentle Leader^® on an aggressive or exuberant dog, and within a few minutes the dog has calmed down and the owner has control. With the ability to control even the largest of dogs, the owner relaxes and learning and behavior changes quickly take place."

Marcia Koenig, Trainer, Seattle, WA

"The Gentle Leader^® is a great management tool that sets a dog up to succeed rather than fail. When a dog starts pulling or lunging, he is immediately turned around to face his owner, who can then reward (and thereby strengthen) this good behavior. We use Gentle Leaders^® often in our classes, and have seen dramatic results."

Leslie Nelson & Gail Pivar, Tails-U-Win! Canine Center, Willington, CT

"Most of my clients are referred to me by veterinarians and former students who know I favor gentle methods. I have found the Gentle Leader^® quickly builds confidence in both the family and the dog. As an instructor, I have come to depend upon this head collar so much, I would not want to teach without it."

Jean S. Palas, Trainer, Elma, NY

"As professional pet dog trainers, we serve the family pet. In many families, walking the dog is a dreaded chore. Children and the elderly are often unable to physically control the dog, and the adults who can physically control the dog simply tire from the constant struggle. Consequently, the dog is not walked, and a dog without enough exercise is a dog who becomes a behavior problem. Gentle Leader^® eliminates this problem within minutes. Even small children can handle a dog that outweighs them with ease! Our elderly clients, who are afraid of falling and being pulled down by their dogs, will walk with the confidence Gentle Leader^® gives them. Our clients often come to us frustrated and ready to give up. The instant control the Gentle Leader^® gives them regenerates their desire to train their dog, rather than get rid of him or delegate him to a lonely life in the yard. It is not far fetched to say that Gentle Leader^® has saved many dogs from being turned over to Animal Control. Euthanasia for behavior problems is the leading cause of death for dogs...so the Gentle Leader^® really does save lives!"

Barbara Eagles and Diane Gallagher, Dogtrain, Wilmington, NC

"As a pet trainer, I have found no other tool that works better or easier than Gentle Leader^® in getting positive results. Moreover, I've seen a reduced number of serious behavior problems that often come from a misused choke chain or prong collar. In the last several years there has been so much misinformation regarding the use of the 'Alpha role' and dominance in dog training. Often uninformed and inexperienced owners misinterpret these theories and cause additional problems. Recommending Gentle Leader^® avoids this problem. I find it to be so easy for the owners to use and quickly learn. I cannot stress how important Gentle Leader^® is to owners who are looking for good companionship dog training. It is also my selection for people adopting an older dog from a shelter. Typically, many of these shelter dogs have been abused on a more traditional collar like the choke chain. The Gentle Leader^® avoids any previous negative associations, and the new owner can begin a new positive relationship and not compromise trust when teaching simple matters. In my opinion there is no better key to success than the Gentle Leader.^®"
