One of the best training tools there is!!!
I wish I could give the "gentle leader" ten stars!! This is amazing! I'm disabled, about 90lbs, and very weak, so you can imagine me walking my 185lbs Great Dane! He has no idea how strong he is, so any little pull or jerk would end up with me on the ground. Just like a horse, the best way to control an animal that's much bigger to you is to have control of their head. It doesn't hurt them but it allows you to control where their attention and focus is, which is very important in dealing and training large animals. I suggest watching and utilizing the tips and directions that are given on the DVD that comes with the Gentle Leader. My boy learned in one day (with the help of some yummy treats!) that when we put the leader on that means he gets to go for a walk! He shoves his snout right in now and the best part is, he CAN'T pull me at all!! This thing is a life saver!
