>> Hi Gretchen,
>> I'm confused by what you said. So I'll start from the beginning.
>> The gentle leader (gl) has 4 parts:
>> 1. the part that goes around the neck immediately behind the ears.
>> 2. the loop that goes around the snout to hold the high collar in place.
>> 3. the little straight strap ending in the O ring. This hangs down under
>> dog's chin..
>> 4. the other little straight strap ending with the little latch (don't
>> know what it's called. Initially this also hangs down under dog's chin.
>>
>> BTW, the movable Oring of the collar does not have to stay on top of dog's
>> neck between the shoulder blades. In fact, with my dog, if I'm not using
>> the GL, her collar moves all around  depending.
>> So I just move the collar O ring under the chin to make things easier to
>> attach.
>>
>> To put it on the dog,
>> 1. First put on the snout piece.
>> 2. put on the high collar piece around dog's neck, just behind dog's ears.
>> 3. Remove the leash from the O ring on the regular collar. The regular
>> collar's O ring is under dog's chin.
>>
>> 4. Attach the leash to the O ring at the end of the little straight strap
>> of the GL.
>> 5. Attach the little latch at the end of the other little straight strap
>> of the GL to the regular collar movable O ring, which is under dog's chin.
>>
>> Just make sure that the snout piece fits correctly, snug but not too
>> tight. The only problem with the GL I've had is when the snout piece is too
>> loose and it comes off  her snout and just hangs down. But then the leash
>> seems a little longer so I can feel that.
>> This way, when you tug even very little, the collar pushes behind the
>> dog's ears and the dogs respond quickly.  And it doesn't bother  the snout.
>>
>> It's much easier to show in person. Writing about it is hard to do.
>> I hope you're not thoroughly confused. I have to read what I myself wrote
>> at least 3 times going word by word. Ugh!
>> Hope this helps.
