gentle leader

Canine head collar

A gentle leader is a type of dog head collar designed to guide rather than restrain.

The loop fits around the dog's muzzle and behind the ears, allowing the handler to redirect the dog's attention by controlling head movement: The gentle leader stopped her from pulling on walks.

The name suggests leadership through guidance rather than force.
