Hallie Wells, Puppy Trainer at The Guide Dog Foundation in Smithtown NY demonstrating the correct way to use "Not So Fast Rover" One Size Fits All Head Halter
One size fits all no pull head halter/leash combo. Delightfully soft, yet strong rope will not leave a mark on your dog's nose. Comfortable for both you and your dog. No measuring necessary. Machine washable so they always look brand new.
Available in 5' or 6' Length and "Head Halter Only" style which requires you to use your own leash. Low profile rope ensures good visibility for your dog. Used exclusively by many Guide and Service Dog Training Facilities.
The leash length is measured from end to end before it is put on the dog. The head halter portion is approximately 2'. The 5' length is perfect for initial training and for severe pullers. The longer length is perfect for dogs that already walk well on head halters, and you want them to have a longer leash.
***Please take the time to acclimate your dog to this product if you have never used one before*** Our recommendation is to put it on, give a treat and take it off, gradually increasing the length of time you leave it on until they accept it as a regular piece of equipment. Practice walking them inside the house first. This method works far better than if the dog objects (and most will!) and they struggle to get it off. As with any training, your dog will be waaaay happier if he is praised for being good rather than reprimanded for being bad!
HEAD HALTER ONLY INFORMATION; We highly recommend the full leash/head halter combination. The Head Halter only style was created for trainers that use double ended leashes or, simply prefer to use their own leash while training. Because of the variation in dog's head sizes, the "one size fits all" is only guaranteed if you purchase the all in one combination. We currently make the head halter only version in a size to fit most medium to large dogs. Giant breeds and small breeds would need a larger or smaller size respectively. You can include a note in your order if you wish to purchase the head halter only style for a Giant or small dog.

We have a lovely wheaten 7 month old puppy. Charlie really loves people and other dogs- even when it’s not the right time to wheaten greetin them. Our trainer recommended this leash to help control his lunging and pulling. I got it and acclimated him to it with treats and praise. We went on our first walk today and- WOW! It was a game changer! I immediately posted to social media for my friends. Buy it- I swear it’ll change your life.
I bought this based on a reco. I have used and loved gentle leaders, but this seemed easier. I couldn’t walk this dog belonging to relatives I was visiting: he was reactive and pulled too much. I tried twice and gave up after about a half block (if that). I ordered this leash, put it on and off inside with lots of treats, and by the third short walk I tried, I was able to hold him w 1 hand while filming w my phone in the other. It feels as if I’m walking a different dog.
This leash is so easy to use. I now have 3 of them.
