Hold the nose loop open

Use a treat to encourage your dog to fit their snout through the nose loop.

Fit neck strap and adjust nose loop

Snap the neck strap at the highest point on your dog's neck and slide the nose loop's clamp up or down to adjust.

Check fitting

Test the nose loop by pulling it forward. It should touch the beginning of the fleshy part of the nose without being so loose that it completely comes off the snout.

No-pull solution with full range of motion

When properly fitted, the headcollar will display a "V" shape when viewed from the side.

The best no-pull solution depends on you and your dog. Our Deluxe Easy Walk Harness has reflective accents for night walks, while the seatbelt loop on the 3 in 1 harness is great for car rides. Alternatively, the Gentle Leader Headcollar was created by a veterinary behaviorist and is simple to put on.

Before you return your harness, contact our Customer Care team to hear about replacement options.

Our U.S.-based Customer Care team is happy to assist with providing chewed harness replacements for a discounted fee.

Since no-pull solutions are designed as a training tool, we recommend using a 4- to 6-foot leash for walks instead of retractable ones.
