BARKLESS Soft Dog Head Collar, Padded No-Pull Training Halter with Reflective Strips

The patented BARKLESS Soft Dog Head Collar is a padded training head halter designed to help guide dogs who pull, with soft nose pads and reflective strips for walks.

• Patented head-guiding design — helps redirect your dog’s direction on leash.
• Plush soft nose pads — cushion the nose during walks and training.
• Quick-release snap and adjustable shoulder strap — make fitting easier.
• Reflective strips and stitching — improve visibility in low-light conditions.
• Included safety leash — attaches to the head collar or leash for added security outdoors.

For dogs that pull, lunge or jump on leash, a head collar offers a way to guide attention through gentle steering rather than relying on pressure at the throat. The BARKLESS head halter is made for leash walks and training sessions, with padded contact points and adjustable fit features to support gradual introduction.

How does this head collar help with leash pulling?

The BARKLESS head collar gently steers your dog’s direction to redirect attention and help prevent leash pulling. Its design relieves pressure on the throat while allowing your dog to bark, pant, eat and drink.

• Designed to help manage pulling, lunging and jumping during walks.
• Use gradual introduction with treats and short training sessions.
• Store it out of your dog’s reach when not in use to prevent chewing.

How do I choose the right size?

The XL size fits a snout circumference of 12–17½ in (30.5–44.5 cm) and a neck circumference of 18–24½ in (45.7–62.2 cm). Measure both areas and compare them with the size chart and step-by-step fitting guide provided in the product pictures and description.

Good to know: this head collar is not suitable for short-nosed breeds, including Boxers, pit bulls and bullies.

• The shoulder strap adjusts to help set a comfortable fit.
• A quick-release snap helps you put the collar on.

What features support comfort and visibility?

Soft nose pads are designed to help prevent scratching, while reflective strips and extra reflective stitching improve visibility in low light. Nylon straps and sturdy stitching form the collar’s construction.

• The included safety leash attaches to the head collar or leash.
• Keep the collar away from children when stored; it is not a toy.

The BARKLESS Soft Dog Head Collar suits owners training dogs to walk with more guided leash control, provided the dog’s measurements and breed are suitable. Its padded nose area, adjustable shoulder strap and reflective details make it a head halter for training and walks rather than a fit for short-nosed breeds.
