Stop your dog from pulling on the lead with Gencon!
The Gencon (Gentle Control) is one of the simplest and most effective headcollars available for dog owners. It is designed to be gentle on the dog and easy for you to use, making them popular with pet owners, dog trainers, behaviorists, and vets alike.
The Gencon All-in-1 Headcollar & Lead was designed, developed, and patented by Irene Holbrook, a knowledgeable dog enthusiast with expertise in agility and obedience training. One piece from the headcollar to the end of the lead, the Gencon creates a calm and enjoyable walking experience for both dog and owner. When your dog pulls, both loops tighten, lightly restricting the whole head so the dog backs off from the restriction—in other words, stops pulling! The action is from the side of the head and is very gentle; it does not pull your dog's head around or ride up into your dog's eyes. Only gentle pressure is needed; there is no need to jerk.
Fit the Gencon on any size or breed of dog by putting one loop over your dog's snout and the other around their neck. Pull gently to make sure the fit is snug against your dog.
This style of the Gencon All-In-One Headcollar & Lead is intended for walking the dog on your left side. The soft webbing is 5/8" thick. The overall length is 76"; depending on the size of your dog's head, you should have a 5' to 6' long lead.

To get the most out of your control lead, here are several training tips you can implement to enhance the process and help your canine pal get used to it quickly.
Allow your dog to examine the headcollar before putting it on – When first introducing the headcollar, lay it out and let your dog familiarize himself with the smell and shape of it. Dogs can be suspicious of new objects, so be enthusiastic and gentle to show that there's nothing to worry about!
Use treats to show your dog there's something in it for him – You can use treats to coax your dog through the lead when fitting it the first few times. Above all, take it slow and let your dog go at its own pace to avoid putting him off of this new practice.
Walk your dog in a familiar environment at first – To help your dog feel comfortable, go for a walk in a familiar environment with minimal distractions. Whenever the dog responds well, give him a treat to reinforce positive behaviors. Remember that the right equipment is half the journey—a positive outlook and the right technique are just as important!
