" ... Had this for a day before the clip that adjust around the snout broke making the leader useless! ... "
" ... Used this for 3 days, then the little tab that locks the portion that surrounds the muzzle broke. ... "
" ... Broken clapse, will. ... "
" ... The gently leader has a clasp on it to tighten around the muzzle. ... "
" ... The plastic pin in the clasp broke after less than two months of light use, rendering the gentle leader unfunctional. ... Great tool, but horrible durability . ... "
" ... Clasp to adjust the size broke after first use ... "
" ... This soft lead is made with a small plastic nose locking device that breaks easily/malfunctions. ... First one, our dog managed to get it off his nose, because the plastic locking piece broke off after he swiped at the nose loop a few times, he’s only 46 lbs. ... "
" ... The first was in a retail store and the mouth portion frayed and broke within a month. ... Within two weeks, this one broke in a similar spot. ... A second flaw with the Gentle Leader, is that if you don’t snap the two pieces together correctly and one is “upside down” you virtually cannot get them apart. ... "

" ... If the clip wasn’t broken, it probably would work. ... The snap clamp came either defective or broken, either way or doesn’t clamp or snap as it’s suppose to. ... "
" ... Won’t stay tight around the base of the head/ neck, as soon as I start walking the dog wiggles once and it looses right up and off. ... "
" ... Used this for 3 days, then the little tab that locks the portion that surrounds the muzzle broke. ... "
" ... The piece wouldn’t stay locked it kept opening. ... "
" ... The clasp wouldn't close and keep a tight fit. ... "
" ... The clasp on the second also doesn't work, this item is completely useless if you can't adjust the collar. ... "
" ... I watched the video and ready the instructions, but when I try to snap the clamp into place it doesn't snap or stay in place. ... "

" ... I like because it doesn't hurt my dog, but she can push it off with her paw when given the chance. ... "
" ... I am not sure how comfortable she is. ... It does have a comfort pad. ... This - it is total head control. ... "
" ... I ordered this second one from Amazon, and made sure the mouth piece was comfortable and as loose as possible without my dog being able to get out of it. ... "
" ... The collar is adjustable and has a soft neoprene layer that sits above the snout so it won't dig into their skin. ... "
" ... She’s not thrilked about wearing it but doesn’t try to get it off and I’m thrilled ‘cause it really has curbed most of her pulling. ... "
" ... It was easy to use and appears comfortable for my dog to wear. ... "
" ... It took a little bit of training (2 days) to get him comfortable with it, but I now have a dog that is pleasant to walk. ... "
" ... When I got it, I sized and and just let him wear it around the house for a little bit so he could get use to how it should feel. ... "

" ... The gently leader has a clasp on it to tighten around the muzzle. ... The clasp on mine did not work correctly. ... "
" ... The clasp wouldn't close and keep a tight fit. ... "
" ... The clasp was broken when I got it. ... "
" ... I did this a couple of times sometimes I would have to unhook her claws from getting stuck in the strap but needless to say the ham did a pretty good job. ... There is also an issue with the padding, there is very little padding on the underside of the strap that goes onto the dogs muzzle, so even if a dog does pull harshly with the head harness on, it is going to give sort of an Indian burn on their muzzle. ...
