[NAGDU] Gentle Leader

I actually like the perfect pace when I am walking better than the gl.  It
goes around the nose but the hook where you attach the leash is at the back
of the neck (a few inches down from his ears) rather than in front under his
muzzle like the gl.  I like it because it allows you to give a quick
correction without having him turn his head.  It goes on sort of like a
figure 8.  It most definitely keeps his pace in check.  I use the gl for
going in restaurants, out shopping, church etc. but the pp for all of our
walking routs.

Hope that helps, Janell and Sully

Original Please tell me more about the perfect pace.
I have never heard of this before,
How does the dog wear it, and does dog need both pace as well as leader?
I wonder how this goes on and how does it keep dog in the pace you wish?
Thanks so much.
You also use the harness.
Thanks,
Julie Johnson is this another item you also sell?

>> My GL has the padding on the top of the nose piece like you described.
>> I got Darcy from Pilot Dogs.

>> I saw the same Gentle Leader at my Petco.

>> Hello, All:

>> I have a question about gentle leaders.  This last weekend, at our 
>> NFB state convention, I used my gentle leader with Demi while we were 
>> in the hotel because I knew that she would be very excited about all 
>> the guide dogs.  She kept trying to rub the thing off, which is not 
>> unusual, but then when I decided that she was calm enough and took it 
>> off of her, she still kept trying to rub her face on me for awhile.
>> She did the same thing the next time we used the GL, acting as if her 
>> muzzle was itching or sore because of the GL.

>> I got my GL from The Seeing Eye.  It is actually my second because I 
>> lost the first one they gave me and had to replace it.
>> The first GL had padding around the muzzle, but this one does not; 
>> when I asked about this, I was told that they don't make this 
>> particular brand with padding anymore because the padding seemed to 
>> be irritating the dogs.  Demi definitely seems more bothered by this 
>> GL than she did with the last one, however.  I know that the problem 
>> isn't the tightness because I have tried loosening it with the same 
>> result, and it wasn't ridiculously tight to begin with.

>> Does anyone have suggestions on other gentle leaders which might work 
>> better? I don't think I want to use this one anymore.

>> Thank you, and all best!
