Tender Lead Head Halter

Description

The Tender Lead Halter creates relaxation and calmness by applying gentle pressure to appropriate reflex points behind a dog’s ears and on his muzzle. Gentle pressure on these “touch” or “reflex” points; create a rewarding training situation in which your dog learns quickly and efficiently. Designed and approved to achieve maximum benefit through effective communication and relaxing touch points. The side pieces of the Tender Lead move the whole head, similar to a horse halter. Other halter devices tend to pull just the dog’s muzzle. The Tender Lead stays in place for comfort, safety and to effectively communicate the desired behavior. Your dog can open his mouth, drink and pant without restraint.

Get Instant Results!
Your dog will immediately understand that he cannot pull you on a walk but needs to stay close to you. For those overly active Fidos, the Tender Lead© is calming thereby giving Fido time to think instead of reacting to a jerk on the collar or tugging of a harness. With the exclusive martingale design under the muzzle, immediate release of tension is the result when the dog chooses appropriate behavior.

Safe and Humane!
The Tender Lead Halter is designed to prevent tracheal damage and injury due to pulling. Additionally, dogs understand pressure to their muzzle or behind the ears because that’s how their mom communicated with them. With gentle persuasion, you can now enjoy a pleasurable walk and training sessions with your best friend.

Training with the Tender Lead
With the Tender Lead Halter properly adjusted, you will immediately notice a difference in your dog’s behavior. If he tries to “paw” off the nose piece, distract him with his favorite treat or toy. Additionally, gentle tension on the leash will help him to understand this is undesirable behavior. Always reward generously during the initial training period. Generally, dogs accept the Tender Lead, better than other brands, because of the design, touch point’s relaxing effects and comfortable fit.

Now, you are ready to walk with your dog!
With the leash attached to the “D” ring under the muzzle, gently guide your dog to walk with you. If he tries to pull ahead, very gently (remember you are guiding him through touch) pull the leash to guide him to stay by you. Always reward positive behavior.

Caution!! NEVER jerk on the leash or allow your dog to run to the end of the leash while wearing the Tender Lead Halter. This could cause injury, if proper training techniques are not strictly observed. Never leave your dog unattended while wearing the Tender Lead Halter. Always work with your dog in a safe and confined area before venturing out into more distracting places.

How to size your dog for the Tender Lead Head Halter
Measure around your dog’s neck, the way you would for a dog collar. That will generally be the right size. However, on the large sizes if your dog has a narrow muzzle like a grey hound or collie you will need the L1. If your dog is built more like a mastiff, Rottweiler or St. Bernard, you’ll need a bit larger muzzle size which is the L2. If you’re not sure, just give us a holler! We’ll be happy to be sure you get just the size to fit your best friend.
