Way nicer than the thirty dollar one you buy at the pet store. My dogs hated those, and they would pull them right off their faces. This one is harder to get off, and they seemed to get used to it much faster. Made walking them go from absolutely miserable to a breeze. Also, they are pretty strong - my pitbull tried to take off after a squirrel and yanked on the leash hard and it didn't break, and it also pulled his face sideways and made him forget about the squirrel. It was unreal - I've had my pup for 4 years and have never enjoyed walking him. I've tried everything - training with treats, choke chains, pinch collars, those special harnesses - I never believed this would work, and I wish I'd got them sooner.

I have tried an array of harnesses on my rambunctious one year old Golden Retriever. The Dogs My Love is far and away the best. I have been through five, yes five, Gentle Leaders. They are so flimsy and so easy for the dog to chew as well as being easy for my pup to pull on, I finally gave up on the Gentle Leader as useless. I can't believe it took me so long. The Dogs My Love version is better made, simpler, and she does not object to my putting it on. Do be careful about sizing. If it is too large the dog can get out of it.

It would not hold shut on my dog at all he could not keep it on. Used it once. I might be doing something wrong but with no instructions i have no idea.

It's ok. I got a size that I thought would fit. But is slightly to big and haven't returned it yet. My dog went nuts to yank it off.

I'll be comparing this to the Gentle Leader since that's the most popular and abundant when it comes to head halters. I'd like to start by saying that I started using a head halter because my dog started pulling and would get rambunctious during walks. First, I like that it feels more like a harness on my dogs head, I'll attach photos for reference purposes. The gentle leader dangles several inches, but this does not so my dog does not trip over the leash or have the leash go between his legs as much. The gentle leader is typically tight around the nose to prevent from coming off, but this does not but because it's thicker so it still won't slip off my dogs nose. My dog hated the gentle leader and would run and hide from it, but I've noticed that he'll come right up to me and wait for me to put this halter on. I noticed that it was harder for my dog to open up his mouth while wearing the gentle leader, this halter does not prevent him from doing things like drinking water. I only have 3 issues with this halter, hopefully over time I'll be proven wrong.

*First issue, the stitching seems a little cheap compared to the gentle leader. This halter has one row of stitching where as the gentle leader uses a square w/ X pattern. I feel that if this halter fails while walking my dog, it will be due to the stitching.

*Second issue, the materials seem cheaper. The gentle leaders buckle and nylon seem a lot more thicker and more sturdy. Hopefully over time this doesn't matter and the material withstands my dogs abuse.

*Third, this halter runs big. I measured my dogs neck and muzzle and his sizes fell within the large category. I purchased the large but it was just way too big. I hopped back on Amazon and purchased the S and M just to make sure he would fit into one. The medium fits like a glove, but he could use the small if the neck strap was a tad bit larger. I suggest that everyone buys one size smaller to prevent having to return/exchange/purchasing a new one.

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase I just wish they had medium size in blue. I hope this last a long time, and I will be buying my second dog a halter as well.
