Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I buy everything except groceries off amazon. I have also never left a review. I think this product is lifechanging enough to warrant a review. I have now had this headcollar for exactly a week. I watched several videos on it to get the fitting right. The fitting is important- it will not work as well if not fitted tightly as instructed. I waited two days to use it on walks. Just getting her used to it keeping it on while she ate all meals and giving her tons of treats. Dogs won't like a strap across their face. But you can teach them that the headcollar means they get to go out and they don't mind it. I have a one year old pit bull and I had stopped walking her (she used to get 3 mile walks every day) in favor of driving her to the dog park bc her pulling was so terrible. The last straw was when I took her hiking and couldn't enjoy the scenery bc she was pulling so much for five miles straight. My bfs dog, also a terrible puller, had success with the gentle leader. I took him for a walk to test it out and it was amazing. I immediately ordered one for my dog. Within five mins of using it I could tell it was a godsend. I like to say that walking my dog with the gentle leader on is like walking a cloud. You know the cloud is there bc of the occasional light tension from direction change but otherwise my dog just floats along. It feels like you're walking a show dog or something. If you don't enjoy walking your dog, buy this headcollar. I used to have to wrap the leash around my forearm and then under my armpit and over my shoulder to leverage my weight against her pulling. Now I can walk her with my pinky finger while carrying a coffee in the same hand and texting with the other hand. My brother also has this product but doesn't like it because "it didn't train the dog not to pull when it's not on". This product is not supposed to replace training, it just makes it a lot easier to enjoy time with your dog. Best money I've spent this year. Just buy it. As you can see from the video, there is slight slack in the leash (you won't want too much slack or the dog can step over it and get tangled bc it hangs from under the chin). This is the first time I've ever had slack in a leash while walking my dog. Also, the material stretches when brand new. So readjust a few days later after using for walks for the perfect, permanent fit.
