BARKLESS No-Pull Dog Head Collar, Size M Padded Halter for Gentle Training

BARKLESS No Pull Dog Head Collar is a medium-size head halter designed to guide dogs gently on walks, with a padded nose contact area and a dual-clasp connection to a daily collar.

• Size M fits 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) — choose by your dog’s measurements.
• Guidance through the head halter’s stress-point design — helps reduce pulling without harsh control.
• Double-ended clasps connect the head halter to a daily collar — adds a second point of attachment on walks.
• Two reflective threads on the nose lead — help make your dog more visible in low light.
• Soft, breathable padding where the halter contacts the snout — helps limit rubbing against skin and fur.

For dogs that pull or become excited outdoors, a head halter offers a way to guide walking without relying on harsh control. BARKLESS is intended for everyday walks and reward-based training, including morning and evening outings. The medium fit is based on snout and neck circumference, so measuring helps you choose more accurately than relying on breed alone.

How do I choose the right size for my dog?

Size M is 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). Vizslas and Border Collies are examples of breeds that may suit this size, but breed is only a guide; compare your dog’s measurements with the size chart. This head collar is not intended for short-snout dogs such as French Bulldogs and Shih Tzus.

• Measure both the snout and neck before selecting a size.
• Use the fit measurements rather than past sizing or breed alone.

How does the head halter help with pulling?

Attach the traction leash to the head halter’s O-ring to guide your dog with gentle pressure. Its stress-point design is intended to help reduce pulling and encourage walking habits without harsh control. The double-ended connector links the head halter with your dog’s daily collar; its swivel moves freely, and the snap-and-go clasps attach in seconds. This added connection is designed to help reduce escape risk if your dog gets excited.

• Open the buckle to put the halter on.
• The halter is designed not to interfere with normal breathing, drinking, or feeding.

What helps keep the halter comfortable and visible?

The snout contact area has soft, breathable padding, and the material is designed to maintain its shape after repeated use. Two reflective threads are sewn onto the outside of the nose lead; they reflect surrounding light in low-light conditions, including during evening or nighttime walks.

• Introduce the halter gradually with short, reward-based sessions and your dog’s favorite treats.
• A step-by-step guide is included to support training.
• Store the collar out of reach of dogs and children when it is not in use; it is not a toy.

BARKLESS suits owners of medium dogs who want a gently guided walking aid and a linked attachment to their dog’s daily collar. It is best suited to dogs whose measured snout and neck fit Size M, rather than short-snout breeds. Its measured fit, padded snout contact area, and dual-clasp connection support everyday walking and gradual training.
