The Gentle Leader Harness has a unique front leash attachment which gently discourages your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. The harness is quick and easy to fit, and easy to use.

Please measure your dog’s chest carefully before ordering.  Please refer to the full product description for details on how to measure accurately. Then use the Sizing Chart to find the right size for your dog.

Description

The Gentle Leader Harness was designed by the makers of the Gentle Leader Head Collar.

Traditional harnesses actually encourage dogs to pull harder.  This is  because of the “opposition reflex” which causes sled dogs to pull against pressure.  The Gentle Leader Harness has a unique front leash attachment which gently discourages your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. The front leash attachment stops pulling by steering your dog to the side and redirecting his attention towards you.  A patent pending martingale loop provides extra leverage for easy, relaxed control and prevents the harness from twisting.  The martingale closure works by slightly tightening across the chest and shoulder blades when the dog attempts to pull forward.

The Gentle Leader Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.   The harness is quick and easy to fit, and easy to use.

Features include:

A quick snap buckle on both the shoulder and belly straps to make the harness easier to put on and take off.

The soft, but strong nylon webbing has four adjustment points to provide maximum adjustment for a comfortable and reliable fit.

The belly strap is colour-coordinated to make it easy to identify which strap goes over the shoulders and which goes under the belly.

Please measure your dog’s chest carefully before ordering.  For an accurate measurement, please ensure that your dog is standing straight with their head up. An incorrect measurement will result if your dog is sitting, laying down, or being held. The chest size should be measured by holding the measuring tape snugly around your dog’s ribcage, just behind the front legs.  Then use the Sizing Chart to find the right size for your dog.

    This was delivered very fast and really helps a lot with my golden retriever pulling on the lead! Do recommend! B

    I found the medium size didn’t suit my border collie. While the back and girth straps were almost fully extended, the chest strap was adjusted as small as possible but still dangled low and the doubling up of the webbing made it uncomfortable. I’ve got a Halti coming and hope I don’t have the same problem. Also bought a car harness and it fits fine.

    Working really well to stop my 7 month old puppy from pulling forward on the lead and it doesn’t strain her neck or any other part of her body. She adjusted to it quite quickly and I can see it’s more comfortable than her previous harness.

    Very good harness, easy to put on and remove, and once the adjustments are made it stops out little fella pulling. Works a treat! five stars

    This harness is awesome! I’ve used one with my dog for some time now and he walks like an absolute champion! So I bought this one for my sister’s dog (terrible at pulling) and hopefully it will have the same effect! PetZone delivered it really quickly too.

    Great harness for my terrible walking dogs. We only got 3 houses down in 30 minutes after constantly turning around, but they are learning 🙂 Greatest purchase of 2020 🙂

    I agree with the other reviewers. This product makes my relationship with my dog so much gentler and enjoyable. Hard to believe that this would be such a game changer. I would recommend it to all do owners.

    I love this harness, it makes a huge difference. I now enjoy walking my crazy dog instead of dreading it.

    Even though I measured my dog, the harness was too big, hanging down in the front. Seems he is large across his back and tummy but small in the chest. Anyway after I had sewed it smaller, it works fantastically. He walks very nicely and I am no longer running down the street behind him! What a difference.

    I have 3 huge dogs that pull terribly when on lead. My youngest is reactive to other dogs when walking. I bought the easy walk harness for each of my dogs and walked them as soon as they arrived. My dogs walked like they knew how to heal. It was a pleasure to walk them. What a fabulous product.
