BARKLESS Dog Head Collar for No-Pull Training, Medium, Padded and Reflective

BARKLESS is a medium dog head collar designed to guide dogs toward calmer walks, sized for a snout circumference of 8–11 in (20.3–27.9 cm) and a neck circumference of 14–19 in (35.6–48.3 cm).

• Double-ended clasp connector links the head collar to a daily collar — adds a second connection to help reduce escape risk.
• O-ring leash attachment and gentle guidance design — helps reduce pulling without harsh control.
• Two reflective threads on the outside of the nose lead — help make your dog more visible in low light.
• Soft, breathable padding at the snout — helps limit rubbing against skin and fur.
• Quick-opening buckle — makes putting the head collar on straightforward.
• Designed to allow normal breathing, drinking and feeding while worn — supports everyday activity.

This head halter is made for dog owners working on leash pulling during regular walks, including morning and evening outings. Its fit depends on your dog’s measurements, not breed alone: measure both the snout and neck before choosing the medium size. The design guides rather than relying on harsh control, while the second collar connection adds a safety link.

How do I know if the medium size will fit my dog?

The medium size is made for dogs with a snout circumference of 8–11 in (20.3–27.9 cm) and a neck circumference of 14–19 in (35.6–48.3 cm). Measure both areas and use those measurements to select the size; breed examples are only a reference. This size is not intended for short-snout dogs such as French Bulldogs and Shih Tzus.

• Vizslas and Border Collies are examples of breeds that may suit this size, but individual measurements determine fit.
• Compare your dog’s measurements with the snout and neck ranges before selecting the medium.

How does the head collar help with pulling?

Attach the traction leash to the head halter’s O-ring to use its gentle guidance design. Its stress-point approach is intended to help reduce pulling and support better walking habits without harsh control. The connector’s two ends link the head collar and your dog’s daily collar.

• Reinforced snap clasps attach quickly, and their swivel design allows free movement.
• The linked setup is designed to help prevent escape attempts when a dog becomes excited and lower the risk of getting lost or entering a fight.

What makes it suitable for everyday walks?

The snout-contact area has soft, breathable padding to help prevent rubbing on your dog’s skin or fur. Two reflective threads are sewn onto the outside of the nose lead, where they can reflect surrounding light during low-light walks.

• The padding is designed to retain its shape through repeated use.
• The reflective details are intended for outdoor activities in dim conditions, including evening walks.

How do I put it on and introduce it to my dog?

Open the buckle to put on the head collar; the wearing process does not require complicated steps. Introduce it gradually with short, reward-based sessions, using your dog’s favorite treats and the included step-by-step guide.

• Increase wearing and training time gradually to support comfort and safety.
• When it is not in use, store the collar out of reach of dogs to prevent chewing and away from children because it is not a toy.

BARKLESS is suited to owners of medium dogs whose measurements match the fit range and who want a gentle head-halter option for leash-walking practice. It is not designed for short-snout dogs, and the medium fit should be chosen by measurement rather than breed. For a correctly measured dog, it combines guided walking, a second collar connection and reflective details in one head collar.
