Not Positive, but Not as Bad as the Head Halter

On: 2007-01-01

The Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harness deters a dog from pulling by causing his shoulders to twist to the side, interrupting his forward movement. This creates a mild annoyance to the dog, and while its not a positive training tool, its much nicer to the dog than the head harness.

As a dog trainer, and just as a human being who loves dogs and hates to see them being mistreated, I cannot stress strongly enough that the Gentle Leader halter should not be used on any dog, ever. If you arent able to train your dog to walk nicely on the leash, please use this device instead.

So how do you train your dog to walk nicely? Dogs dont really pull on the leash so much as they get pulled on by things in the environment that stimulate and attract their instincts. So the trick to training a dog NOT to pull is to play games, like "chase me" and "tug-of-war", that will make YOU more interesting and more appealing to his instincts than the things in the environment are.
