"Gus is our 1-year old 80 pound Akita mix. He's exuberant and sometimes has been difficult to control with a choke collar. But wearing Gentle Leader^® and the indoor control lead in the house has made Gus much calmer and easier to control when someone comes to the door. And taking Gus for a walk is much more pleasant... it's like having "power steering!"

"I am the owner of Shepherd/Dobe puppy who was totally out of control. I had tried choke collars and training classes, to no avail. Then on the recommendation of my vet, I purchased Gentle Leader^®. In only minutes I gained control! Walking her went from a nightmare to a dream. My 6-year old son can now take her out, and she follows commands - sit down, come - many things that some people take for granted. Thanks to Gentle Leader^® I am now the proud owner of a 9-month-old, 70 lb., beautiful and well-trained puppy."

"I received your Gentle Leader^® two days ago. I can't praise this device long and loud enough. My three year old neutered male Jack Russell Terrier...was devilishly impossible. When walking on lead for our evening walk he would dart unexpectedly at passing cars almost jerking the lead from my hands. This was with a choke chain. Not good for his life expectancy. This Gentle Leader^® works by keeping the dog focused on you. He now trots perkily and smartly at my side. This has got to be with out a doubt the most humane and effective device I have ever used. Thank you."

"Our Golden Retriever pup celebrated her first birthday November 2^nd. She became our dog when she was eight months old. She about pulled my arm out of its socket the first morning when I took her for a walk. She jumped up with joy on every passerby. The next day we bought the Gentle Leader^® and put her halter on and saw a miracle happen. What a joy, now, to take her walking. Like the difference between dayand night."

"I am pleased to inform you that the Gentle Leader^® system has really helped my Rottweiler puppys top biting when I trim his nails! In fact, it seems to have modified his undesirable aggressive behavior WITHOUT having to physically hurt him. I was amazed that a little tug on the Gentle Leader^® collar(which is very nonviolent) did more to discourage him than smacking the daylights out of him (whichwasn't working anyway). I know I have a closer relationship with my puppy since I can now be the leader without having to resort to violence."

"Thank you!!! The Gentle Leader^® is incredible! We love Gentle Leader^®!!! Your product not only transforms "Mr. Chaing", Sharpei - 5 years, and "Miss Lady", Beagle - 5 years, but has improved our lives!"

"Thank you so much for developing the Gentle Leader^® control halter. We have a one-year GermanShepherd (named Meisha) that weighs about 65 pounds and was hard to handle on a leash. Several months ago, I purchased your control halter and found out how fantastic it really is. Needless to say, Meisha is a real handful when trying to walk her on a leash and trying to teach her the simple commands. After I started using the Gentle Leader^®, I had dramatic results!!! Meisha is easily controlled and is well behaved when the halter is in use. My two daughters ages five and eight, can easily walk her down the sidewalk."

"I am a handicapped person that has to use a walker. My dog is half Pit Bull and half Chow; she weighs around 70 pounds. I have no problem taking her for a walk on the walker and believe any person on a cane, walker, crutches or even in wheelchairs could get one and have the pleasure of taking their dogs out no matter what their size just by following the teaching guide. Thank you for the Gentle Leader^®. I really love my dog and still want to take her out and she in turn is helping me build the muscles up in my legs so I'll be able to walk one day without the walker."

"I can't begin to tell you how happy we are with the Gentle Leader^®. Before we got the collar, we were at a loss as to what to do with our dog. She is eight months old but in eight short months she has done a lot of damage: she bit the trainer in our dog obedience class, chewed holes in the walls in our laundry room,chewed linoleum off our laundry room floor, and chewed a hole in our waterbed mattress. In a word, ourdog is wild! Until we got the Gentle Leader^®, we never could control her. We have just started training her with the Gentle Leader^® and in a few short weeks we have made significant progress. Thank you for such a good product!

"Approximately ten months ago, I purchased a Great Dane pup. Within minutes, I found her to be headstrong and feisty, albeit sweet-tempered. She was fully capable of dragging me behind her, not always on my feet, whenever we left my house for a walk. I briefly considered giving her away. Eventually, I changed her plain choke collar for a heavy, pointed-tip collar, which made her appear vicious to myneighbors. This change had little or no effect on Timna's behavior when we went for a walk. I was skeptical, and even hesitant upon receiving the Gentle Leader^®. It looked too flimsy, and incapable of controlling Timna. SURPRISE! The initial time I walked Timna, while she wore her Gentle Leader^®, I found myself to be in total control of my pet, instead of the reverse. Timna no longer pulled me down, nor dragged me along. And all that was required of me has been the use of two, or three fingers, at the most, on her leash."

"After years of jogging and being pulled by our Dobies, we agreed to try your new Gentle Leader^®. Bythis time my husband was taking both dogs and complaining of a stressed elbow. I didn't like the look or idea of the new system, but agreed to try it. Once the dogs adjusted to the new feel, we couldn't believe how enjoyable our jog was - once again. Now we have added a third dog, a Golden. So we will become owners of still another Gentle Leader^®."

"I used to dread our nightly walks because Harry and Daisy (all 170 pounds of them) pulled so hard. Iused to hold on to trees and street signs when we passed one just to regain my footing. (This is no joke!) The Gentle Leader^® worked for us the very first night and we have been happily walking ever since. Daisy, who is a little tornado most of the time, is much calmer when the leader is on, and she reallyseems to love it. She sits and waits for me to put it on her!"

"I can't even begin to tell you the wonders that the Gentle Leader^® has worked with my Boxer, Jericha. I am not very big and she keeps getting bigger. She had just gotten to the point of being able to drag me around when my mother sent me the Gentle Leader^® for my birthday. Taking her on walks has become much more pleasant. She is so extremely friendly that she used to choke herself to death trying to follow home those who stopped to visit with her on our walks. It was so bad that I actually had to sit on the sidewalk to hold her in one place while they walked away, I was afraid she would choke herself to death. It has proved to be a true aid for training Jericha, who came equipped with springs in her feet."

"The Gentle Leader^® is easy to use, easy to put on, and brings results unlike anything which I have used, seen on the market or read about. We have a giant-breed dog - a Newfoundland - and it was imperative for the dog's well-being as well as ours that she learn to behave herself under our terms, but in a congenial fashion. The Gentle Leader^® proved just that: a way for us to control our dog which effectively let our pet know that certain behavior was acceptable while other types were not. I know it will revolutionize the way in which dogs are civilized to interact with those in whose care they are placed. I know that in my case, the system has changed the way in which my family feels about our dog and has turned our relationship from one characterized by frustration into one best described as mutually rewarding."

"Last October my wife and I went to the Humane Society in St. Louis and adopted an 8 week old Aussie mix male puppy. As Smedley grew, so did his behavior problems grow until we sought advise from our veterinarian. They recommended the Gentle Leader^®. The concept of putting pressure on the back of the neck muscles while at the same time putting pressure on the nose and lower jaw at first confused us, but we realized how well the concept worked as we saw the dramatic change in the behavior of Smedley. We have been able to utilize the Gentle Leader^® in walking, heeling, sit, stay, lay down, come, and final phases of housetraining. If I'd known about your system earlier, house training would have been much easier."

"The Gentle Leader^® has proven to be very effective in correcting my dog's jumping behavior. In combination with the indoor control lead, we have almost eliminated the problem in two days. I would say the indoor control lead is an unbelievable "tool." It eliminates the delay in correction time which is so critical and the dog knows exactly what is expected. My dog behaved beautifully at obedience classes and during his home training sessions. However, his "good manners" were limited to those times. The indoor control lead and Gentle Leader^® are teaching him that "good manners" are a way of life every minute ofthe day not just during classes and training sessions."

I am a quadraplegic from a rare neuromuscular disease and have little strength and little mobility in my hands/arms. Because of this, I'm not able to give collar cues to my service dog - 150 lb. Newfoundland. The person that helped me train Clayton suggested the Gentle Leader^®. I love it. I'm able to hold on tot he leather handle attached and be in "control" of my dog without it looking like someone just attached my dog to my wheelchair.
