Sick of your dog dragging you about?  Using training tools can help to give the handler more control  and reduce pulling dramatically!

1. Buy a gentle leader appropriate to your dog’s size (guides are on product).
2. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck and it should not ride up into their eyes.
3. Practice putting the head collar on your hand before attempting to apply it to your puppy or dog.
4. Show the gentle leader to your dog, let your dog sniff it and give them treats as they do so.
5. Drape the head collar over your hand and use a piece of meat to guide his nose in.  Give the treat and repeat around ten times.
6. The next day use the treat again and tell your puppy ‘in’, clip the collar into place and reward.
7. Repeat until your dog is comfortable (don’t let your puppy walk around in the head collar he will try to scratch it off).
8. Your dog is likely to use their paws to scratch at the collar until they have become used to it.  When he does this raise the leads upwards and distract with a treat.  You need to keep your puppy fixed on the treat to allow him to become acclimatised to the head collar.
9. This collar will substantially reduce the pulling and coupled with lead training you will quickly have a perfect pooch, not on the end of lead but walking at your side!
