[nagdu] Gentle leader adjustments

[Susan Jones]

Michelle,
My understanding is that it's supposed to be very tight around the head, but
the part that goes around the nose is supposed to be a little bit loose,
enough the dog can open its mouth, eat or drink.

You might try having it on for short, but increasing periods of time as long
as you feel it necessary to use it.
I would give small treats when your dog leaves it alone.
HTH.

Hi guys, do any of you use a gentle leader with your guide dog? The reason I
asked this question is because I'd like to know exactly how tight or loose
to make it, so then my guide dog can't take it off his nose with his paws.
And how do I stop him from pulling it so then the bit around his head
doesn't pull loose?

Michelle
