How much are these GL's?

@xXRSDWXx About $20

My dog is a terrible walker. We got him a Gentle Leader, and he's terribly depressed now that he wears it. He constantly tries to take it off, and even his eyes are red. He's also extreme disobedient. Being a voracious dog, he is always in search of food. But once you put the Gentle Leader on, he won't do anything for the treat. Completely different dog, but not in a good way. Don't know what to do.

In my experience 95% of the dogs that I put gentle leaders on hate them. I don't start off walking the dogs on the GL. I always put it on, give them a treat, take it off. Then I put it on, feed dinner, take it off. I associate it over with something positive until they look forward to putting it on.

Izzy, the pitbull in this video HATED the GL. Now I can out it on and take her for a walk - no problems. Stick with it, you'll be happy with the results.

Good luck

Thanks, I'll try it out. I have watched the DVD already, and they didn't mention acclimating the dog BEFORE using it for walks, so I think that is a good idea.

I have a four month old aussie shepherd...is she still too young for the gentle leader? We've been walking her for the last month or so...she loves it but pulls quite a bit.

My sister has spent months trying to get her golden retriever to walk using Cesar Milan's methods to no avail. The dog would pull constantly on every walk, lurch after other dogs and people and generally ignore the person walking her. Twenty minutes on the gentle leader using this video to adjust fit and she was walking relaxed without pulling at all. On her second half hour walk I was able to get her to sit calmly while a neighbor walked by with his two dogs. No lunging zero. Worth every dime.

@JadyEmy Go with the large. I have a 55lbs golden female and the large fits her perfectly. There is quite a bit of space to adjust.

@xXRSDWXx Check ebay. I just got mine today from a seller DogScene. $11 shipped for a brand new in package Gentle Leader.

Just bought this today. My 6mo old lab/golden was a puller and no joy to walk. Now, after 3 minutes on the path here in beautiful Hawaii...he was SO amazingly calm and walked right next to me and didn't pull once! AMAZING! i am going to facebook this thing right now!

@chriswthurke What size did you use? I also have a small lab, and I thought of using this since mine does pull too (the first minutes of walking or when she sees an other dog). She's about 65lbs but could be 10lbs less xD, which is a big difference from my old lab who was 125lbs.

I thought of buying one on ebay but the measures aren't always there.

@xoselle First, I suggest getting a Haltie, they have more (in my oppinion) webbing and material peices to help keep the collar on. Also, make sure the Haltie's collar peice, the part that goes around the neck, is as close to the ears and tight. This will keep the collar close to the face and make it harder for your dog to get it off. If that doesn't work, get a prong collar. Doesn't hurt the dog, cause pain, or any damage to the dog whatsoever. Do your homework, they are not bad for your dog.

my dog CONSTANTLY gets the muzzle part of the gentle leader off within seconds, HELP! what can i do?! he lashes out like a mad man and until he gets free of the muzzle.

[chriswtburke]

Wow... I just put this on my 50lbs lab.. She is a terrible dog for the first 30 minutes of every walk we've ever gone on, pulling and not listening...

I put the gentle lead on her, and literally within 2 minutes of our walk (first time use) she was walking beside me and looking at me for direction... Highly recommend thus to anyone with a problem walker.. And I've only used it once
