About the Perfect Pace Products
The Perfect Pace is a halter/head collar designed to stop your dog from pulling and lunging on the leash. The comfortable figure-eight design fits around your dogās upper neck and snout, crisscrossing under the chin. The lead comes off the top of the neck, eliminating pressure on the throat and it does not pull the dogās face to the side or irritate the eyes. The lightweight construction is strong yet comfortable for your dog and in your hands.Ā The Perfect Pace halter/leash is available in three different materials: smooth nylon, woven, and leather. Please see the Material Options tab for more information on the leather material.

How the Perfect Pace Works:Ā When your dog pulls pressure is applied gently behind the head and under the jaw: these pressure points are calming for your dog, which encourages focus. The upward pressure raises your dogās head and reminds them to pay attention to you with less resistance.
Safer and Healthier for Your Dog:Ā Other head collars/halters prompt people to āsteerā their dog around by the face. The Perfect Pace motivates your dog to pay attention to you so that they can learn good behavior and leash manners.
Simple & Humane:Ā For many dogs, the Perfect Pace is more natural and effective than other training tools and is a great training solution for dogs that are stronger than their handlers (or that donāt respond well to other training tools). Many dogs prefer this style of halter because the leash does not dangle under their chin or force them to turn their head and the lightweight, minimal design is less annoying than other halters. Professional dog trainers love this training tool because it is not aversive!
Training Tip!Ā For best results, we recommend using positive reinforcement training to desensitize your dog to the sensation of the halter on his snout before using this product. The novelty of āstuff on my faceā can be distracting for some dogs, but with positive reinforcement, your dog can quickly learn to accept it!
Not a Muzzle: Dogs can pant, eat treats, drink, and pick up toys while wearing this halter.
It Works Differently:Ā Dogs that have struggled with other collars, halters, or harnesses often accept the Perfect Pace willingly and respond with calm focus and attention. If other training tools have not been right for your dog, try this one and weāll stand behind it with ourĀ Satisfaction Guarantee.Ā Should your dog find this training tool aversive or you are otherwise dissatisfied, return it for your money back. See our guarantee page for details.
User-Friendly Package:Ā Your Perfect Pace will come with great instructions and links to helpful videos on PerfectPaceDog.com.
Made in USA: All Perfect Pace are designed and handcrafted in the USA. The leather is sourced from the USA! The package is designed, printed, and assembled in Colorado.
Recommended for medium and larger breeds (over 20 lbs.) due to the way pressure is applied.
Please read and follow the instructions and reminders in the package before using this product.
Remember that no training device works on every dog. Any tool is only as good as the hands that use it.

Leather care is easy! Donāt worry too much, and donāt be afraid to use your items ā we promise leather is incredibly resilient, and regular weather wonāt hurt it. If you think your item looks dirty, dry, or just need a little extra love, pouring a little leather conditioner on a cloth, and rubbing it in like lotion will usually do the trick. Baths and a jaunt in the river are just fine, but you might want to offer a little conditioner to your products afterwards. Saltwater can be harsh, so after a visit to the ocean, a good rinse in fresh water and proper conditioning will help preserve and protect your treasured leash or collar. See our Leather Care page for more specific information.
