Easy Walk™
Harness Overview
Unlike traditional collars, the Gentle Leader® Easy Walk™
Harness never causes coughing, gagging,
or choking because the chest strap rests low
across the breastbone, not on the delicate
tracheal area.
Why it works:
Traditional harnesses can actually
encourage dogs to pull harder because of
the “opposition reflex.” That’s the
reflex that makes sled dogs do what they
do. The Gentle Leader® Easy Walk™
Harness redirects the pressure
through the front leash attachment. And,
our patent pending martingale closure
tightens slightly across the chest and
shoulder blades when your dog attempts
to pull forward. |

Quality features:
- We included a quick snap buckle on both
the shoulder and belly straps to make it
easier to get the harness on and off your
dog.
- Our soft-but-strong nylon and 4
adjustment points provide maximum comfort
and a reliable fit.
- The complementary color of the belly
strap makes it easier to identify each
strap, while keeping the overall look
pleasantly color-coordinated. You can
quickly see which strap goes over the
shoulders, and which goes under the belly.
Using the Easy Walk™
Harness:
The Gentle Leader®
Easy Walk™
Harness is
designed to gently
discourage your dog
from pulling while
walking on a leash.
And, it’s easy to
use, requiring
virtually no
acclimation period
or specialized
training.
If your dog
forges ahead
of you,
gently pull
the leash to
the side to
turn the dog
towards you.
As he stops
pulling, be
sure to
release the
tension on
the leash.
Use praise
and reward
your dog
with treats
and/or
petting.
To slow your
dog when he
is pulling
ahead, apply
gentle
pressure to
the leash,
pulling
gently
toward one
side of the
dog. Release
the pressure
on the leash
when the dog
is walking
nicely next
to you.

Like all collars,
leashes, and
harnesses, the
Gentle Leader®
Easy Walk™
Harness is a
tool designed to
help you train your
dog to walk
politely.
We do NOT recommend
using the Gentle
Leader® Easy
Walk™ Harness
with a retractable
leash. With a
retractable leash,
the dog is
“rewarded” with
additional leash
when he pulls ahead.
We want the dog to
learn to NOT pull
ahead. In addition,
a retractable leash
will always apply a
slight constant
pressure, teaching
your dog it is okay
to continue pulling.
Please Remember to:
- Check the
fit regularly,
especially on
growing dogs.
- Examine the
harness for
signs of
chewing,
fraying, or
damage.
- Do not leave
the harness on
your dog
unattended.
