Pros: Perfect, safe control over your dog
Cons: Fitting them correctly
My older dog has confidence issues (treated badly prior to being rescued) that training has not been able to overcome. She goes through periods of leash aggression with some dogs as we walk our local park. This is the only collar she is allowed out on walks it. The fit and use of the head as a lead, prevents any damage to her neck and trachea. It also provides me 100% control over her because where the head goes, the body will follow. The nose strap also calms her down (watch was mommy dogs do to calm her pups, holds their muzzles!). With the gentle leader her issues have subsided and we can enjoy our daily walks now. You must pay close attention to the fit or have them specifically fit by a trainer to assure they cannot slip out of them! This is very important. We use these for our training at the Humane Society and it has greatly improved all of our trained dogs and they are highly recommended to all of our adopters.
