The Simple Leader Mini Head Collar – The Perfect Solution for Small Dogs under 10 kg who Lunge or Pull on the Lead

Head Collars for dogs, an essential with dogs that pull on the lead. Walking a dog can be one of the most enjoyable parts of being a pet owner, but it can also become a challenging task when dealing with small breeds that lunge or pull on the lead. For owners of very small dogs, particularly those under 10 kilos, finding the right tool to manage these behaviours is crucial.

“Honestly can’t tell you what a difference. The first time I’ve used them as first real day out to seaside. Normally off lead so pull like trains on lead. They had them on, 5 mins of what’s this mum, then trotting alongside me! Such a pleasure on days out. Made a real difference for me tbh today as I have all 3 all the time. But John and Áedán can actually walk pip now on the lead!

Not a sore paw in the house either. Last time I walked them on streets they were bleeding from the pulling”.

Enter the Simple Leader Mini Head Collar, a game-changer in canine control and comfort.

Why Choose a Head Collar for your dog?

Traditional collars and harnesses often don’t provide enough control for dogs that are determined pullers or are lunger’s. A head collar offers a more humane and effective way to guide your dog’s head, which naturally leads the body. By gently directing the dog’s nose, the head collar helps to curb unwanted behaviours without causing pain or discomfort.

The Simple Leader Mini Head Collar

Designed specifically for very small breeds, the Simple Leader (small) stands out in the pet product market for several reasons:

1. Size and Fit: The small head collar version is tailored to fit the smaller anatomy of dogs under 10 kilos. It ensures a snug, yet comfortable fit that cause discomfort. The adjustable straps allow for a customised fit, accommodating different head shapes and sizes within the miniature and small dog category.
2. Materials and Construction: Made from high-quality, durable materials, the Simple Leader (Small) is built to withstand the rigours of daily use. The soft, padded noseband ensures that your dog experiences minimal irritation, even during longer walks. We craft this mini head collar from a narrower webbing, it is a robust narrow fabric, the same that we use to make our safety links.
3. Ease of Use: The small head collar is designed for simplicity. It can be quickly and easily fitted, making it convenient for everyday use. The design allows for adjustments, ensuring that the collar remains effective as your dog grows or changes in weight.
4. Behavioural Benefits: The key advantage of the Small Simple Leader is its ability to reduce pulling and lunging. By gently guiding the dog’s head, the head collar helps to redirect their attention back to you, the dog walker. This not only makes walks more pleasant, but also enhances training giving you the opportunity to reward favourable behaviours and subsequently strengthens the bond between you and your pet.

• Introduce Gradually: Allow your dog to get used to the head collar by letting them wear it for short periods indoors. Reward them with treats to create positive associations.
• Combine with Training: Use the head collar as a tool in your overall training strategy. Reinforce good behaviour with positive reinforcement techniques.
• Stay Patient: Some dogs may take a little time to adjust to the sensation of a head collar. Be patient and consistent, and your dog will soon learn to walk calmly and comfortably.
