GenCon All-In-1 Dog Lead & Headcollar Combined
Also recommended by Colin Tennant, Chairman of the CFBA (Canine and Feline Behaviour Association) as "The Best Headcollars in the UK" the GenCon All-In-1 delivers a gentle approach to stop your dog pulling and allow you to control even the most excitable and strong dogs**.
As a professional dog behavourist I've used and recommend this product on all breeds of dog, ranging from mastiffs and St. Bernard's to Jack Russells and English Bull Terriers.
The GenCon All-In-1 lead is an invaluable tool when treating dog to dog aggression cases as well as a general training aid to help with heel work.
Of all the dog training leads available (including the Halti, Gentle Leader and DogMatic head collars and anti-pulling body harnesses) I've found this product to be by far the most effective and kindest approach to rehabilitating a dogs behaviour.
One size fits all and the product is available in Quilted material.

How Does It Work?
It consists of two loops: one goes over the dog's nose and the other goes over the dog's head and round the neck.
When the dog pulls, both loops tighten, restricting the dog's head. The dog backs off from the restriction, or in other words, he stops pulling! The action is from the side of the head and is very gentle.
To put the Gencon All-In-1 on your dog, follow these instructions:
- Pull out to form two loops.
- With the lead (containing the ring) in the left hand, hold both loops together.
- Slip both loops over the dog's nose - the loop with the ring on it should go over the nose first.
- Leave one loop on the nose and slip the other loop over the dog's head onto the neck.
- Adjust the loops to fit and position the 'stop' to prevent loosening.
The GenCon All-In-1 is designed so that it will not pull up into your dog's eyes or chafe the skin. It's designed for walking your dog on your left side and is made out of a special, easy-to-handle 9/16" webbing with rounded edges.
** The success of the GenCon (and for that matter ANY lead/collar system) is subject to the absence of an underlying dog behavioural problem. It may be necessary to seek further expert behaviour advice prior to the use of the GenCon if your dog is particularly anxious or highly strung.
