Comfort Trainer Head Halter, Black with Tan Nose Strap, Size 3

I have trained several puppies and I just love this product!!! The Comfort Trainer is a thoughtful and well engineered improvement over all other head type halters. This CT is FAR more comfortable than other halters due to the softer material, fit around the eyes and does not fit as tightly as The Gentle Leader but Still gives the same amount of control. Yes, the halter is pricy but well worth it. The Comfort Trainer comes in great colors, quality materials. Any type of head halter will take time for the human to use with skill so follow the directions and go slow:)

Best design of three head halters we have tried. In one week, it seriously improved our enjoyment while walking and training our lovable, energetic and stubborn mid-size hound. Lightweight and narrow, the halter has both a metal adjustment buckle and a small plastic clasp on the collar. The snout-loop fits into webbing below the chin. Our dog was absolutely unable to knock this off, head-toss out of it. There is no hardware or wide padding near her eyes that can ride up or slide out of adjustment and nothing to choke her. It is important for the handler to be light-handed and use a downward motion to control the dog to avoid damaging the lips or neck. If the plastic clasp proves durable it will be worth the price. If not, I'll switch to a less expensive option.

I bought a less expensive head halter and the plastic broke within an hour; not this one. I flinched at the price, bought it anyway and would pay even more for this high quality, low impact training halter. Perfect for the service dogs we train at LOVE HEELS Canine Partners.

My dog likes this head halter better than he likes his name-brand gentle leader. He still doesn’t love the concept of a head halter, but I wasn’t expecting a miracle. He does seem to find it easier to have his mouth wider open in this one. I think my dog walker must have loosened the buckle clasp, however, as he completely slipped out of it while crossing the street the other day (how it is, without fail, that he knows when I’m jaywalking across a street where cars fly by and stops halfway across to try to paw off his halter?).The only negatives are that the clasp to secure the halter around my dog’s head is very small and more difficult to find and unlatch through his thick mane than was the latch on the gentle leader, and that the sizing mechanism, by virtue of being a buckle, seems more appealing to my dog walker to use than to use the quick release clasp. The result is that if multiple folks are using this halter it won’t be a once-and-done affair to fit the halter to your dog’s head

We love this halter. We’ve used a gentle leader for years but we noticed it was irritating our Aussie’s mouth. She even had a small rubbing sore. This halter is a great design for a dog with a longer snout. It fits very nice, is soft, and easy to adjust. Our Aussie is about 53 pounds so we vacillated between a 3 and a 4 but decided to go with the 4. It fits her perfect and no rubbing or discomfort.

great fit and a much better gentle leader alternative than the ones that require constant adjusting around the snout.however, i’m subtracting two stars due to the ability of my 90 lb German Shepherd to break free if he applies a decent amount of resistance.solution: i’ve since paired it with a dominant collar for additional assurance that my dog will still remain tethered to the leash.

I've been a long-time user of head halters and I THOUGHT this one seemed like a simple solution. The last one I got was a Snoot Loop brand that appeared similar in design, but seemed far more complicated to adjust. I had gotten that one from a top trainer, who adjusted it for me. I also had purchased it directly from her and did not recall how much I paid. So, when the time came to order one for my new dog, this looked like a good solution. All I can say is... what a waste of my money! I ordered the size that was listed as appropriate for my dog. He's about as average a build as a dog can get. Nothing too remarkable or odd about his head and nose shape. He's 38lbs, so we ordered the size 3. The first annoyance was that the super small clip was a pain in the butt to try to get closed, even though my hands are tiny. Secondly, sadly, it never seemed to move or sit correctly on my dog. In no time at all, he developed rub marks and red sores on his nose from this. It rubbed in the area at the top of his nose, closest to the inside corner of his eyes. I have since stopped using this item and ordered the original Snoot Loop. Turns out, the Snoot Loop brand I've had so much success with in the past, was also nearly $15 less (with shipping) and only took 2 days to arrive, when ordered directly from their website. Thanks to the Snoot Loop, my new dog is now happy in a head halter and it's quite successful for us. Sadly, thanks to the idiotic placement of the oversized tag on the Comfort Trainer, I instantly got annoyed and removed it. Plus, we wore it for a short time before we determined it wasn't the right thing for us. So, I can't return this and I'm now out over $30 for this wasted experiment. Lesson learned. Oh, and the Snoot Loop that I thought was oh so difficult to adjust... only took about 2 min to make perfect. I can't recommend this Comfort Trainer and I highly suggest you avoid this headache purchase for you AND your dog. (Tan nose strap in the pictures is the Comfort Trainer and the black nose strap is the Snoot Loop. The Snoot Loop gives more adjustments and allows for more space and comfort around his nose, yet doesn't slip off)

I had a different head halter, but I lost it. So a friend showed me hers. It was the Comfort Trainer. The material is much softer than my other one, and although my dog still does not like wearing a head halter, it comes in VERY handy when I walk him because he is a reactive dog and I have complete control of his head. I have him wear it in the house for about an hour or two a day when I am home, and he rubs and rubs his head. But after awhile, he relaxes and goes to sleep. It takes the dog some time to get used to it, but if you have a large reactive dog that you like to walk, this is the thing for you.
