Does anyone have experience comparing this lead to the gentle leader?

Thank you for your question! The Easy Walk Harness is designed to prevent pulling during walks. The Gentle Leader Headcollar can also prevent pulling during walks, but is also able to help combat lunging, jumping, excessive barking, and can even help calm an aggressive/anxious animal by simply redirecting their attention to something else.

Unfortunately, no. There was not only zero difference with the neighbor's dog, but my dogs had no problem barking freely once the lead barking started. It did not bother any of them - as if it wasn't even there.

I looked up the vitalizer compared to the ib3 chi Energizer and it makes similar claims but doesn't promote the fish movement. There were also warnings not to buy imitation products. My healthcare professional SPECIFICALLY recommended the Original ib3 Chi Energizer which I think is the bomb. Good luck!

I HIGHLY recommend the diamond infused lead... some comes with the pack... regular lead will break too easy... You can really tell the difference....

This type slip lead is not going to help with the pulling. I bought The Sporn Halter which works beautifully for any dog that pulls. I highly recommend it for your dog. It fits on the collar and goes behind each front leg and the control is with the legs and not the neck.

I have a medium for my 37 pound Brittany. There is room to adjust the lead for larger or smaller. I think the medium would give you good overlap of the lead (ie, you won't have to use it at the far end of it's length). PS - I have 2 boxers also & use Gentle Leaders with them. It IS THE BEST for dogs who want to constantly pull.

It is great quality, not rough at all. It is not a nylon rope and I have had no problems at all with rope burn or skin irritations. My black Lab is also quite thin furred. I can't say enough good things about the Mendota slip leads that I use. I foster and re home dogs and have several leads. Every dog that I use one on has an immediate positive reaction (if the lead is used properly)

I purchased a FS3/4H90 v4 (version 4) which is lead free approx. 5 months ago. I do not know if this unit in the picture is earlier or later, my guess is it is an earlier unit.

Either one would be fine. They both look the same weight to me, so the difference can't be much. The one I have is very sturdy. I used it for my rescue 85-lb Bernese Mountain Dog to teach her to 'go potty' while on a leash.

I used a similar lead to train 3 skye terriers. I did basic obedience only, sit, down, come, heel, stay, wait. On stays where you leave your dog more than 6 feet away, the lead goes limp and your dog can walk out of the color. Other wise it worked great for heeling, sits and downs

Dear Don, one has to order one's lead separately. It comes in B, my personal favorite, F, 2B, H, 2H, etc. depending on how soft or hard you like your lead. 4H is very hard and B is softest I believe.

Yes, this 3/8" 6 feet lead is very good for training. I have small hands, and this may just be me, the only thing I did not like was that I wished it was thicker in order to have a better grip on it. Why? When I got Bella, my pit bull mix from BARCS, she pulled so much and was so hard to train that it was a little while before I was able to use on her. But, now that she is more manageable I use this leash for training.

I have not but I did notice the similarities between the two. I can say I still swear by this light, as much abuse as I have put it through, it still works flawlessly.

I bought this product and use it for TWO 70lb hound pullers. HOWEVER, I use the gentle leader while riding with them. I first tried using it with them in the harness, but got pulled down when one saw a squirrel. He head-halter gives them less strength to pull.This is a great product, and I use it for both single-dog biking, and the double hookup for two! Give it a try!

I would go on line and check with your dog's breed and see what they recommend. Since your dog is short haired (and cute) it would probably need a different type of lead. I have Chow Chows and with their thick coat, the slip lead is great because it doesn't tear their hair. Good luck!!

spoke to rep about this. very nice and helpful. she stated that the lead comes from water and soil. no different from anything that grows in soil. only exceeds ca levels at max starting dose of 6 tabs a day.

I have been using the Pentel Hi-Polymer lead with good result. I like the dark line left by 2B lead. Also the lead is strong enough to stand up to my ham-handed use.
