Question: How do I fit a Gentle Leader?

Answer:

Attach leash to control ring

Open neck strap and hold each end so the nose loop and lead look like a T.

Place on neck with center bar ring just above Adam’s Apple, and adjust so that only one finger will fit between neck and strap.

Take neck strap off dog; slide adjustable snap clip down to leash ring.

Pull nose loop up through center bar ring.

Hold nose loop open and slip onto dog’s muzzle; snap neck strap closure shut.

Make final adjustment to nose loop with snap clip; nose loop should be behind the corners of the mouth, loose enough to pull forward to nose leather but not so loose that it can be pulled off.

Caution: Take extra care in fitting on bulldogs and other breeds with flat noses; if their breathing difficulties increase when wearing headcollar, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.

The Gentle Leader headcollar is not a muzzle — when fitted properly, dog is able to eat, drink, pant, fetch, bark, and even bite.
