Beaphar Gentle Leader® - stop your dog from pulling on the lead

The Beaphar Gentle Leader® is a unique, patented design that has been scientifically developed to work with your dog's natural instincts in order to control unwanted pulling on the lead. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® provides kind and effective leadership, and makes training at home quick, simple and fun for both you and your dog.

A dog's natural instinct is to pull on the lead. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® helps to counter this in three ways:

1. Gentle pressure is transferred to the back of the neck, naturally stimulating a relaxation response (the same as when a mother carries a puppy by the scruff of its neck).
2. Gentle pressure is applied around the muzzle from the nose loop, communicating your reassuring control.
3. It works like a halter rope – where the nose goes, the body will follow.

The Beaphar Gentle Leader® was designed by veterinary surgeon Professor Robert Anderson, Director of the Animal Behaviour Clinic at the University of Minnesota, USA and Ruth Foster, former President of the American National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors.

The Beaphar Gentle Leader® is easy-to-fit and adjust.

How does theBeaphar Gentle Leader® work?

The nose loop goes around your dog’s nose and jaw, and acts in the same way as a pack-leader’s mouth. This is a clear signal to your dog that you are the leader.

The neck strap puts pressure on the back of the neck which causes an instinctive relaxation response when your dog tries to pull forward. Your dog will instinctively lean back against the pressure, putting an end to pulling on the lead forever.

Traditional collars put pressure on the front of the throat, causing dogs to keep pulling even while choking.

Beaphar Gentle Leader® does not choke your dog. It has been scientifically designed to direct the dog’s entire body by controlling its head & nose – and wherever their nose goes their body will follow.#

What are the benefits of using a Beaphar Gentle Leader®?

Through its calming effect Beaphar Gentle Leader®, can help shy, nervous or fearful dogs to relax and gain greater confidence. It will also calm boisterous dogs of all sizes.

Beaphar Gentle Leader® enables dogs to be trained to be sociable and obedient, calmly, quickly and effectively. Makes training at home quick, simple & fun – helping create a positive and joyful relationship with the owner. Even whilst wearing a Beaphar Gentle Leader® dogs can still eat, drink, bark, pant, etc.

When happy with the level of control, Beaphar Gentle Leader® can easily and simply be converted into an ordinary collar simply by using the neck strap as you would an ordinary collar and using the nose loop as an extension of the lead.
