Beaphar Harness for Medium and Large Dogs

Beaphar Leash for Medium and Large Dogs:

The Gentle Leader dog leash converts to a regular collar for added flexibility.
Designed by a leading veterinary surgeon and past president of the National Association of Dog Trainers in the USA, this leash allows owners to prevent their dogs or puppies from pulling their owners and makes training basic commands like sit, stay and come quick and easy because it affects the way dogs think, relax and behave.

Why choose Gentle Leader?:

• Most dogs of all sizes do not respond to a regular collar and leash and resist the pressure of pulling their owners in the other direction. This leash is unique and works on three points:
• The pressure is transferred to the back of the neck, which naturally stimulates relaxation (a feeling similar to what a puppy feels when its mother holds it by the neck)
• Gentle pressure around the nose and jaw, does not prevent the dog from opening his mouth.
• It works like a halter on a horse; where the nose goes the body will follow.

How to install it on the dog:

1. Connect your dog's leash to the control ring.
2. Release the loop on the necktie and secure it at each end.
3. Place the leash around your dog's neck so that it touches the base of the dog's skull in the back and aligns above the Adam's apple in the front.
4. You should be able to squeeze one finger under the collar. This will feel more snug than a regular collar, but your dog will still be comfortable.
5. Release the loop and remove the collar from the dog.
6. Open the adjustable slide clamp and slide it down towards the control ring where the handlebar is attached.
7. Pull the nose ring up through the center double D ring, which is located in the center part of the “T” shape.
8. Hold the leash in your hands, and slide the nose loop you just created over the dog's nose. Then tie the two ends of the leash around the dog's neck.
9. Slide the adjustable slide buckle up so that it is under the dog's jaw.
10. The nose ring should now be in front of your dog's eyes but behind the corners of his mouth, and loose enough to pull forward to the beginning of the fleshy part of his nose.
11. Make a final adjustment to the nose ring and then close the adjustable sliding clasp.
12. Once installed this way, it will not be necessary to re-open the adjustable sliding buckle, unless your dog is still growing.
