Every dog has moments where he might turn tail and run or get too interested in something he shouldn't, this is where a collar and leash come in handy, although it might seem a bit mean to have to restrain him.
In order to make a dog learn to match his pace with yours, a leash and collar are invaluable tools in dog obedience.
Old fashioned collars and leashes only fit around the neck, meaning that your dog's windpipe is constricted when he tries to lunge away.
Choke chains are worse as they can bruise and continually constrict around the throat.
This kind of sensation does not provide a positive experience for the dog when training, so DogBuffs is really pleased to introduce the next product.
Trainers and vets love the Gentle Leader as it is made by the respected company Premier, provides a safer and more relaxed experience, as it does not work by choking the dog.
Just imagine if your throat was constricted, leading to choking and the threat of asphyxiation - wouldn't that lead to feelings of panic?
Once alarmed your dog's ability to take in training commands will be severely limited.
The Gentle leader is a much kinder yet effective method of providing total head control.
The smooth nylon of which the Gentle Leader is made is soft against skin, and it is worn on the head with an added piece over the nose.
When your dog pulls, you can exert gentle yet steady pressure to the back of the neck and over the muzzle, bringing your dog safely, calmly and gently under control.
Dogs will respond much better to this form of restraint as they won't feel threatened or panicked.
It's so much easier to train and control a calm dog rather than one who is frightened.
With four sizes spanning small through to extra large and in two colors the Gentle Leader is one product that doesn't take the approach one size fits all.
This could apply to puppies growing into adults too.
Which collar and leash set comes with a training DVD, only the Gentle Leader actually gives guidance on how to use this product effectively.
Effective, gentle and well priced - what are you waiting for?
The Gentle Leader may be gentle but it's a world leader in restraints.
