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.
Hallie Wells, Puppy Trainer at The Guide Dog Foundation in Smithtown NY demonstrates the correct way to use "Not So Fast Rover" One Size Fits All Head Halter.
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!
Put NSFR on like you would a slip lead, after you put it on like a slip lead, attach the safety snap to your dog's collar.
Make the loop large enough to form the figure "8".
Put the front part of the figure "8" over their nose and adjust it with the sliding stopper, leaving about two inches of wiggle room.
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.

Game changer for my strong puller!
I've tried everything with my German Shepherd who pulls like a freight train. The Gentle Leader irritated his face and he hated it. This head halter is so much more comfortable for him, and he actually doesn't mind wearing it! The control I have now is amazing - walks are enjoyable again!
Superior to other head halters
As a professional dog trainer, I've used many different head halters over the years. The "Not So Fast Rover" design is genuinely superior. The way it comes from behind the head rather than under the chin gives much better control without causing discomfort. I now recommend it to all my clients with pulling issues.
One size really does fit all!
I have a Great Dane and a Beagle, and amazingly this head halter works perfectly for both of them! No more measuring or adjusting needed. The soft rope is gentle on their faces but provides excellent control. Highly recommend!
