Perfect Pace™ No-Pull System

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

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.
