Beaphar Gentle Leader Bedienungsanleitung Seite 2

Dogs of any age, but young ones especially, often seek reassurance from older
and more experienced members of their group by offering their muzzle for them
to hold momentarily in their mouth. The older dog's gentle grasp promotes
social bonding and communicates security. The Beaphar Gentle Leader® has a
snug nose loop that encircles your dog's muzzle in the same socially sensitive
area and thus acts similarly to reassure your dog and promote your calm
direction.
Dogs have a natural instinct to pull against pressure and dogs walked on choke
or regular collars still pull, even though pressure on the throat causes pain and
choking and their owners may yank, tug and shout to try and stop them.
The Beaphar Gentle Leader® does not choke your dog. It is scientifically
designed to direct your dog's entire body by controlling their head and nose.
And wherever their nose goes, their body must surely follow! The Beaphar
Gentle Leader® dissuades your dog from pulling on the lead by transferring the
pressure of their efforts to the back of their neck via the neck strap, while the
pressure of the nose loop communicates your reassuring control. Your dog's
instinctive resistance to these redirected pressures causes them to stop pulling
to relieve the pressure at the back of the head and to relax and walk easily by
your side.
Beaphar Gentle Leader fitting instructions

The proper fit – an absolute must
It is important to fit a Beaphar Gentle Leader® correctly. Without a proper fit
you may experience unnecessary problems – excessive pawing, rubbing and
resistance or chafing of the nose.
Beaphar Gentle Leader® is easy to fit – simply follow the instructions carefully,
taking the time to adjust it to fit the contours of your dog's face for a comfortable
fit.
Throughout the fitting process and during initial use of a Beaphar Gentle
Leader®, motivate and encourage your dog with praise and a few tasty treats.
When fitted correctly and viewed from the side, Beaphar Gentle Leader® will
resemble a "V" for Victory, not an "L" for too Loose.

FOR LEAD
ATTACHMENT
STEP 1
Attach lead to Control Ring (Fig A).
STEP 2
Open neck strap, holding
one end in each hand.
Nose loop and lead should hang
down to form the letter 'T' (Fig B).
STEP 3
Fit neck strap high on the neck, touching the base of your dog's skull at the
back and snug above the Adam's Apple at the front (Fig C).
It must be possible to squeeze just one finger underneath the neck strap – this
will prevent rotation around the dog's neck (Fig D).
Even though the Beaphar Gentle Leader® fits much more snugly than other
collars you will notice that your dog is still comfortable, able to pant easily and
shows no signs of distress or discomfort.
