Dog Training - Here's A Quick Way To Stop Your Dog From Pulling
By Eric Letendre

Gentle leader head collars are a great way to control your dog on a leash and are very helpful when it comes to training your dog to walk on a leash. Gentle leaders don't inflict pain on your dog like other collars-choke, prong and electronic-but there are pros and cons to the gentle leader. When you have a gentle leader on your dog, it does look like a muzzle, and people will think that you have an aggressive dog. The other drawback to the gentle leader is that most dogs do not like it when you first put it on. In this article you'll discover some techniques that will help your dog to accept the collar.

Start by getting the right size gentle leader for your dog. The gentle leader is basically two straps. One strap goes over your dog's nose and the other strap goes around your dog's neck. Each strap can be adjusted to properly fit your dog.

Once the straps are adjusted, you want to spend some time getting your dog used to the collar. When you put it on, have some treats ready. Put the collar on and give your dog some treats. After three or four treats, take the collar off. Repeat the process a few more times. This will condition your dog to accept the gentle leader.

Another good way to get your dog used to the gentle leader is to put it on when you feed him breakfast and dinner. Make as many positive associations as you can. After a few days, your dog will start to like it when you put the gentle leader on.

Now that your dog likes the gentle leader, you can start to attach the leash and start walking with your dog. Keep the leash loose and don't let your dog get too far out in front of you.

Practice walking 10 to 20 feet, then stop and give your dog a treat. Practice for a few days and your dog will be politely walking at your side. Gentle leaders really are effective collars for getting your dog to walk without pulling. If you have had no luck with other types of training collars try out a gentle leader.
