The innovative PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar, Red is a leading, recommended training tool by veterinarians that gently redirects the dog's head to control unwanted pulling, lunging, and jumping during walks. Unlike regular collars, this headcollar applies pressure to the back part of the neck rather than to the front, thus forbidding choking while giving you full control over the direction of your dog. It's perfect for training and everyday use, with comfort combined with effectiveness to bring you improved experiences when walking.
The PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar, Red has become a vital tool for dog owners everywhere who want to make their walks easier and extend their training. By design, this is a humane headcollar that effectively prevents common problems such as pulling and lunging, all while keeping your dog comfortable. Whether you are training your puppy or adjusting the behavior of an adult dog, the Gentle Leader provides a safe and effective way to achieve pleasant, stress-free walks.
To select the most accurate size collar for your pet, measure the center of their neck with a cloth tape measured, a few inches down from their head. Pull the cloth tape measure snugly, but not tight. If you don't have a cloth tape measure, you can use a piece of string and measure it with a rigid ruler afterward. Make sure there’s enough room for about two fingers between the collar and your pet’s neck for comfort.

| Large | 11 to 24 inches | 60 to 130 pounds |
| X-Large | 12 to 28 inches | 130 pounds and up |
