Gencon Gentle Control Anti-Pull Leads for Dogs

Pulling on the lead is a trait that can be a real barrier to a dog’s development. In many cases, once they’ve learned to pull, it can be tricky to “unteach” this behaviour.

At Gencon we have found that a high-quality control lead can be the shakeup a dog needs in their routine to instil better walking habits and stop them from pulling dangerously on their lead during walks or training exercises. At Gencon we provide patented products that help you with training or dog walks, reducing bad behaviours and creating an enjoyable experience for both dog and owner. Introducing a new element to their training is the best way to train and retrain undesirable behaviour, and a Gencon gentle control lead will gently but firmly keep them on track.

The Gencon Approach

When crafting Gencon anti-pull leads, we work with canine psychologists to ensure each piece of training equipment complements your furry friend’s natural behaviour.

We consult with expert dog trainers and vets to design and produce the most effective leads, collars and other training gear (like the Lez Graham Retrieving Roll) for your pet. Gencon’s gentle control leads – which utilise our patented headcollar design – are just the equipment your dog needs to halt pulling on the lead for good.

What makes a Gentle Control Lead different?

Gentle control leads, like the Gencon All-in-One Headcollar, are designed to train your dog to stop pulling on the lead. Traditional leads and collars can put strain on your dog’s neck, causing them to pull harder which can potentially lead to injury and severe discomfort for your furry friend.

Unlike a traditional collar-and-lead setup, a Gencon anti-pull lead consists of one piece from lead to collar which, when fitted correctly, fits loosely around your dog’s neck and muzzle in two distinct but interlocking loops. These loops tighten when your dog tries to pull away, causing them to back off from the light restriction to remain comfortable.

Choosing a Gencon gentle control lead is a safe and painless way to train unwanted pulling out of a dog’s behaviour. The simple fitting, one-piece design makes it easy to use as well, taking the stress out of your daily walks or training time.

Gencon’s Top Tips for Lead Training

At Gencon our focus is helping pets and owners work together harmoniously, reducing any pulling and stress for either dog or human. We have worked closely with professional dog trainers to come up with our top tips to help you lead train your dog using gentle control leads and collars from Gencon.

1. Allow your dog to examine the headcollar first

When first introducing a new headcollar or anti-pull lead, lay it out and let your dog familiarise itself with the smell and shape of it. As we know, dogs can be suspicious of new objects, so be enthusiastic and gentle to show them that there’s nothing to worry about!

2. Use treats as encouragement

You can use treats to coax your dog through the lead when fitting it the first few times. Above all, take it slow and let your dog go at its own pace to avoid putting it off of this new practice.

3. Walk your dog in a familiar environment at first

To help your dog feel comfortable, go for a walk in a familiar environment with minimal distractions. Whenever your dog responds well to the anti-pull lead, give them a treat to reinforce positive behaviours. Remember that the right equipment is half the journey – a positive outlook and the right technique are just as important!
