The dog keeps getting the Gentle Leader® off his nose – should the nose loop be tighter?
Do not immediately tighten the Nose Loop. In almost every case, when a dog gets the Nose Loop off, it is because the Neck Strap is too loose. Check the fit of the neck strap first – high on the neck, directly behind the base of the skull and snug so that you can BARELY get one finger underneath. If you’re thinking, “this is too tight,” you’re probably there! Only after you have the Neck Strap adjusted correctly can you determine if the Nose Loop needs to be tightened or loosened. The Nose Loop rests just behind the corners of the mouth, in front of the eyes. You should be able to pull it forward to the beginning of the fleshy part of the nose, but not all of the way off.
