The Best Dog Collar for Great Danes Who Pull (and stopping them)

So, you’ve got a Great Dane who loves to turn your leisurely walks into a strength training session? You're not alone! In a recent survey, I along with a whopping 94% of folks who bought a K9 Bridle said it worked wonders in stopping their dogs from pulling. Plus, 96% of them would recommend it to a friend. It's loved by Great Dane owners, thanks to its smart design and effectiveness.

 What Makes the K9 Bridle the Go-To Choice for Great Danes?

**Lead Attachment at the Back of the Head**

My Great Dane Jäger

The K9 Bridle connects the lead to the back of your dog’s head, which is genius. When your pup pulls, you’re in control from behind them, not under their chin where most other head-collars hook up. This design gives you better control and works with your dog’s natural movements.

**Three Big Benefits:**

1. **Greater Control**

   - Many head-collars attach under the chin, making the dog turn its head sideways when pulling, which doesn’t really help. The K9 Bridle, however, puts gentle pressure on the back of the head and top of the nose, causing the head to dip slightly. This gives you more control with less effort, which is a lifesaver when handling a strong breed like a Great Dane.

2. **Safety and Comfort**

   - The K9 Bridle keeps your dog’s head and neck aligned with their body, preventing injuries. It won’t twist your dog’s neck if they pull hard, unlike some other head-collars. This is crucial for big dogs like Great Danes, who are more prone to neck injuries. Plus, it’s safe to use with retractable leads. I use the Flexi Giant Neon tape lead at 8m, it gives my Great Dane Jäger, the freedom to roam but I still have him under control. This lead is also rated to 75kgs.

3. **Clear Vision and Breathing**

   - Designed to stay clear of your dog’s eyes and mouth, the K9 Bridle ensures they can see and breathe easily. Its soft lightweight material means it won’t interfere with your dog’s eating or drinking. At shows, you often see dogs struggling with head-collars that cover their eyes or restrict breathing, but the K9 Bridle avoids these issues, making it a more comfortable and stress-free option.

**Instant Release Mechanism**

One of the coolest features of the K9 Bridle is its instant release mechanism. The rings at the back of the head slide apart when your dog stops pulling, instantly loosening the headcollar. This helps your dog quickly understand the cues, making training easier and more effective.

**Soft, Strong, Tubular Material**

Crafted from soft, lightweight webbing, the K9 Bridle’s tubular design ensures no harsh edges rub against your dog’s face or neck. This reduces the risk of sores or fur rubbing off, which is super important for Great Danes with their sensitive skin and short fur.

**Adjustable and Available in Five Sizes**

The K9 Bridle comes in five sizes and is fully adjustable to fit any dog breed, including your big Great Dane. A snug fit is key for comfort and effectiveness, preventing the bridle from moving around and causing irritation. 

You can free your Great Dane for zoomies leaving the K9 Bridle on, as it will not be any inconvenience to your dog as it has a safety clip onto yours dogs collar.

Not sure what crazed thought was going through Jäger's head whilst on this particular zoomie. As you can see from the picture below he has his K9 Bridle on.

Every K9 Bridle is handmade in Lincolnshire, UK.
