STEP 4
Take neckstrap off your dog.
STEP 5
Slide adjustable sliding clamp down to the control ring (as in Fig A) and
pull nose loop up through centre double D-ring (Fig e).
STEP 6
holding both straps in your hand slide the nose loop over your dog's nose
(Fig F) & buckle the neck strap high on the neck at its prefitted position (Fig G).
STEP 7
Slide the adjustable sliding clamp up the nose loop under the jaw (Fig h).
The nose loop should be in front of your dog's eyes, behind the corners of
your dog's mouth & be loose enough to pull forward to the fleshy part of
the nose – but not so loose that you can pull it off the end of his nose.
Make final adjustment to nose loop, remembering to close the sliding buckle.

OVERCOMING INITIAL RESISTANCE
Some dogs and especially puppies may find the sensation of being fitted with
the Gentle Leader® rather strange at first and will try to remove it. This is only
natural - many puppies react the same way when they are first fitted with an
ordinary collar. Your dog or puppy may shake his head, try to paw off the
noseloop or struggle excitedly or, conversely, may simply lie down.
To help your dog accept the Gentle Leader®, walk 50ft or so with him while
he is wearing it. Talk to him in an encouraging and cheerful voice as you walk.
Reactionary behaviour will usually fade as your dog acknowledges your direction
and grows to the new but comfortable sensation of wearing the Gentle Leader®.
Your dog will soon learn to associate good things with wearing the Gentle
Leader®: contact with you, your family and friends, praise, walks, titbits etc.
