We're switching from Gentle Leaders at our facility and I'd love a good video to share with my clients. Hi Grisha,

It doesn't have to be a precise to work well. I think the Comfort Trainer is MUCH easier to fit than a Gentle Leader. It doesn’t have to be a precise to work well.

You do need to pull the nose loop up so you can make a circle and put it on the dog's nose. But you only need to adjust the clip the first time. Does that help?

A head halter is THE ONLY way we can enjoy walks. My balance is compromised and she is aggressive toward other dogs. I've fallen multiple times because of her pulling. My problem with the Gentle Leader is that it is impossible (nearly) for me to use the clip that sizes the loop around her nose. With my diminished hand strength, I can't get it open or closed. Without a head collar, the walks are unsafe for me and her. I've watched the on-line Comfort Trainer video. It appears there is not the hassle with opening/closing clip to size nose band. I really want to continue a head halter, but my progressive condition/Gentle Leader are not an option for the long haul.
