Dog Head Collars

Dog Head Collars NZ – Gentle Leader Head Collars and No-Pull Walking Aids:

Managing a dog that pulls or lunges on the lead can make everyday walks challenging. At Smartfox NZ, our dog head collars collection features Gentle Leader training accessories designed to help owners improve walking control and encourage better lead manners.

The range includes adjustable Gentle Leader head collars in black, blue and red, with sizes for different breeds and body weights. It also includes Gentle Leader Easy Walk harnesses, offering an alternative front-attachment design for managing lead pulling.

Gentle Leader Head Collars for Dogs That Pull:

Gentle Leader head collars fit around the dog's muzzle and behind the head, providing a different method of lead control from a traditional neck collar or body harness.

Designed to help manage pulling, lunging and unwanted walking behaviours, these adjustable head collars are particularly useful for owners working on loose-lead training.

The Gentle Leader range includes training guidance, with a training DVD specified for the head collar models. Gradual introduction, positive reinforcement and correct fitting are important when helping a dog become comfortable wearing a head collar.

Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harnesses:

Alongside traditional dog head collars, this collection includes Gentle Leader Easy Walk harnesses in black, blue and red.

Unlike head collars, Easy Walk harnesses fit around the dog's body and feature a front lead attachment with a Martingale chest loop designed to redirect forward movement.

Made from soft nylon, these harnesses feature four adjustment points and two quick-snap buckles for convenient fitting and removal.

Choosing the Right Dog Head Collar Size:

Gentle Leader head collars are available in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large sizes, with sizing based primarily on your dog's weight and head shape.

Small head collars suit dogs approximately 5–10kg, while Medium models cover approximately 10–30kg. Large and Extra Large options accommodate bigger dogs, depending on their individual measurements.

Breed examples in the range include Beagles, Spaniels, Pointers, Labradors and German Shepherds.

Because muzzle shape varies between breeds, always check the individual sizing recommendations rather than relying on weight alone.

Dog Head Collars for Walking and Lead Training:

When choosing between a Gentle Leader head collar and an Easy Walk harness, consider how your dog responds to different walking equipment.

A head collar provides control through the head, while a front-attachment harness redirects movement through the chest. Neither replaces consistent training.
