Will this lead stop my dog pulling?

A figure of 8 lead works by a simple pressure & release system. When pulling the lead will tilt your dogs head down and when pressure is released, the lead will relax. This should help discourage the pulling action.

How do I get my dog used to wearing the lead?

We recommend you don't try to force your dog to wear the lead. Gradually introduce the lead to your dog, you can use it as a slip lead initially and gradually introduce the loop over the nose. Reward with treats coupled with persistence.

Can my dog still open their mouth to drink?

Yes of course. The figure of 8 buckle is not fixed, its only purpose is to position the rope. Your dog will still be able to open their mouth to eat, drink and pant.

What is the difference between a rope and flat style figure of 8 lead?

In terms of how they work, they is no difference at all. It comes down to preference, your dog may get on better with this style vs rope as the lead sits flat over their nose. The rope style is easier to slip on and off. Both have pros and cons.
