The Perfect Pace™ Works Differently: 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 we’ll stand behind it with our Satisfaction Guarantee. Should your dog find this training tool aversive or you are otherwise dissatisfied, return it for your money back. 

The comfortable figure-eight design fits around your dog’s 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 dog’s face to the side or irritate the eyes. The lightweight construction is strong yet comfortable for your dog and in your hands.

How the Perfect Pace Works: 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 dog’s head and reminds them to pay attention to you with less resistance.

What to customers say?

Our goal at Bold Lead Designs is to help you find the right gear to make life with dogs better. Sometimes the right equipment can make all the difference in the world. Here are just a few rave reviews we've received:

"I received the 5’ Working Dog Lead and the Perfect Pace Leash today and I have just one word…Wow!  Wow, your customer service thus far has been exemplary.  Wow, the craftsmanship is impeccable. And wow, does the Perfect Pace leash work as advertised.  I took Daphne, my recently adopted one year old beagle/basset, for a walk using the Perfect Pace leash and it was the easiest, most stress free walk we have taken to date.  Thank You! Once again, THANK YOU!" - Ken D. Jul 7, 2017

"It's been two weeks since I received my order. I've held off writing you back because I wanted to make sure I could still tell you how GREAT the head harness is working!  As of today, it’s still working and has changed my life.  I couldn't believe the first time I put it on my lab.  He acted like a show dog prancing as I walked him.  No pulling or dragging me! 
His leaping at other dogs has been reduced to only the dogs who leap at him first.  And even then, I can easily pull him back with two fingers. I am now enjoying walking with him without having to dig my heels in whenever we pass another dog. He is so much calmer and I can walk with the leash in one hand even if I have to steer him away for any reason.  My husband couldn't believe it either the first time he walked with the Perfect Pace.
I am so happy and relieved that I found something that works!!! Many many thanks to Katrina Boldry for developing this harness!!!:  - Kathy W. 2/16/2016 

"Received our Perfect Pace Halter on Tuesday and I must tell you how amazing it is.  I almost never write product reviews and I would say never an unsolicited one but had to do it this time.  Our dog (LUPii) is a 6 1/2 month old yellow lab.  Sweet, smart, etc. but he is a puppy.  Even with a Gentle Leader (which was very helpful) pulling, etc. would be problematic at times.  An almost instant change with the PP.  Took him this morning to a fairly human and dog populated park--which we have been avoiding--and other than barking at all humans and dogs--he's very friendly--LUPii was totally manageable.  The PP literally stops him from pulling.  Wonderful product."  - BK from Chagrin Falls, Ohio.. 4/9/2021

Styles & Sizing

The Smooth Nylon Perfect Pace is available in two styles:

Smooth Nylon Perfect Pace DOG HALTER Style (teal package)

The head halter only version has an O-ring to clip on your own leash. Leash not included – we recommend using a lighter weight leash without bulky hardware.

• X-Large 100-140 pounds, up to 22” neck; Newfoundland, Great Danes, Mastiffs, etc.

Important Notes:

Please read and follow the instructions and reminders in the package before using this product.
*NOT for dogs under 20lbs! Recommended for medium and larger breeds (over 20 lbs.) due to the way pressure is applied.
**Do NOT use on brachycephalic dogs with short/flat muzzles (such as pugs, bulldogs, and boxers), on dogs prone to breathing problems, with soft or narrow tracheas or similar medical conditions (brachycephalic breeds are more prone); consult your veterinarian if you have questions or concerns.
Remember that no training device works on every dog. Any tool is only as good as the hands that use it.

About the Material

Smooth Nylon Material

The 1/2 inch wide, silky-smooth tubular material has no hard edges to irritate your dog and is a bit wider than the original woven material to offer increased comfort and pressure distribution. The smooth material is now more durable to resist fraying and snags, and is great for long haired dogs as it doesn’t tangle the fur. It is available in several colors including black, blue, red, and white. 

It has a cord-lock adjustment to fit it to your dog. It's super simple to adjust the fit: just press the spring-loaded button to slide it down to the back of the dog's head, or to take it off, slide it away from the dog's head.

The smooth nylon Perfect Pace package includes rubber chin rings: The optional rubber chin ring can be added to keep the halter in the figure-eight shape and may stop the halter from sliding to the side. Directions are included.

Installation Instructions

How do I install the banner badge on my handlebar?

It’s easy! Watch this helpful video to see how:

BLD’s Service Dog Cape/Vest is a utilitarian accessory for displaying identifying patches, increasing visibility, and holding essentials, such as medicine, paperwork, a wallet, phone, clean up supplies, or other small items. Attach like a cape to your dog’s harness, or wear it as a vest by adding a chest strap (be sure to order the chest strap separately!).

• Attaches easily to BLD’s Mobility Support and Balance Assistance Harnesses (MSH, BAH)
• Add a Chest Strap to use as a stand-alone service dog vest (available separately)
• Comfortable, adjustable, heavy-duty elastic belly band
• Easy to use metal quick-release buckle–a BLD exclusive!
• Integrated Velcro panels to attach patches–no sewing required!
• Velcro Patches available separately
• Medium Cape/Vest fits standard size BAH-MSH; Large Cape/Vest fits XL size BAH-MSH (no small size, sorry)

Professionally hand made in Colorado to BLD’s exacting standards. Machine washable.

Chest Strap Harness, available separately, permits this cape/vest to be worn without a harness. HARNESS and patches NOT INCLUDED–shown attached to harnesses for reference only.

FOR LEGITIMATE WORKING, SERVICE / ASSISTANCE DOGS ONLY.  IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNETHICAL TO IMPERSONATE A SERVICE DOG.

Made in the USA with premium, water-resistant, nylon fabric. Features reflective trim for visibility at night, reinforced seams, and edge binding for extra durability. Smooth, one-piece backing means there are no seams to irritate the dog. Webbing loops on the inside of vest are designed to let you replace the belly strap, or fit the vest to other harness styles. Our silver metal quick-release buckle is very easy to use! (Only available in Silver.) Unlike plastic buckles, it is easy to open and secure, even by those with limited hand strength. Machine washable (delicate cycle in a mesh bag is recommended); lay flat to air dry.

Have a BLD harness? This cape/vest is specifically designed to be compatible with the Mobility Support Harness, Balance Assistance Harness, and Everyday Working Harness. It lays on the dog’s back behind the harness saddle and does not interfere with the function of your harness, or overburden your dog. Velcro tabs attach the cape/vest to the d-rings on your harness. Flat, low-profile design does not catch on your legs as you walk next to your dog. If you have a BLD leather guide handle, we recommend adding key-rings or a clip to the harness d-rings to allow a little more space for the cape and guide handle to attach–just ask us if you need them.

Add on Chest Strap
