...still no sign of wear and tear...

!
Would just like to say how impressed I am with the dogmatic product. My dogs have had their dogmatics for over 6 months now and there is still no sign of wear and tear, no matter how dirty the dogs  get the dogmatics whilst we are put. They have been through the washing machine many times and are still as good as when we first recieved the product. My dog's favourite past time was pulling me round the block before, they walked perfectly whilst out individually but take all 4 of them out and whoosh - we were off! Now we can quite happily walk for miles and walks have become so much more enjoyable. I have tried anti-pull harnesses, halti, gentle leaders, canny collars before and none have worked anywhere near as well as the  Dogmatic. Yes - the dogmatic is more expensive but you get what you pay for. Thought you may like to see a photo of 3 of my dogs wearing their dogmatics - unfortunatley my 4th was very poorly at that time and so missed out on the photography session!
I am also a dog walker and have recommended the Dogmatic to quite a few of my customers after they asked me to suggest something to stop their dogs  pulling - they have all been very impressed too. When my family's dogs come to stay with me I can take 5 or 6 of them out together on their dogmatics, one of which weighs over 10 stone (my dogue de bordeax) and it is so pleasurable. I really do hope the Dogmatic will be around for many years to come. The staff were more than helpful when my parcel went missing and when I needed help to measure up my French Mastiff to allow for his wrinkles! Once again a great big thankyou

...how flipping brilliant your headcollars really are!!!

!

Hi, I just wanted to tell you just how flipping brilliant your headcollars really are!!! We first found one quite by accident whilst on holiday, a couple of years ago in Whitby, North Yorkshire.. We called into a pet shop (the name of which I can't remember, unfortunately) as we'd had enough of our headstrong malamute husky, dragging us around the narrow streets of the town,....in the hope of finding something more adequate, than what he already was wearing!!! We purchased one of your headcollars and our lives were instantly transformed........to the point that we got another dog........and let them have a litter of pups!!!! 

The 'mum' was introduced to your headcollars, and the pup we are to keep for ourselves, will wear one also when she's old enough.  All the people who have had a pup off us, have been advised to get one of your headcollars too!  as there is absolutely, nothing better that I could recommend for a husky-type dog, at all!   We feed the lead from the headcollar, to the top ring of a harness, for maximum control, and it works just great!  Your headcollars do just the right job and cause no discomfort to the pooch,.......and huskys, as you probably are well aware of, aren't the easiest of dogs to walk,on a lead without pulling!!!!!!!!!!!
We live in the Wirral, Merseyside, and have found it difficult to find any of your products anywhere in the vicinity! I'm only mentioning this, as during this time of 'difficulty' in business, it may be a good area to find additional outlets in.

Wishing you the very, very best,

Maria, John, (Fenris, Nanook and Oski)

Gave me good control over my large bouncy GSD...

!

Received head collar yesterday and have just been out for a walk. Excellent product very good quality. fits very well and so far has stayed in the right place unlike others I have tried. It looks comfortable on him and hopefully will not rub

Gave me good control over my large bouncy GSD.

Thank you

...once we got outside she was ok.

!

Just wanted to say Thank you, I received Harlies new Pink head collar yesterday.
Harlie is a 6 month old Great Dane who doesn’t realise her own strength. She pulls, in an excited way and makes walking a stressful experience.

We tried it out this morning, she tried to get it off with her paws at first but once we got outside she was ok. She trotted along beside me like a little pony. Being a Great Dane, she looks so elegant when she walks nicely, it is lovely to walk with her and not have my arm hurt when we got home!
I couldn’t believe so much improvement on the first walk! I will send pictures shortly, I couldn’t operate a camera and the new lead today!


Many Thanks
Jenny

I was told by another dog walker...

!

Thank you for sending the Dogmatic. We practised in the house for a while and then I decided to go to the post office which is not far away. I had a three legged dog for the first hundred yards as he tried to pull it off then suddenly he decided to walk with me. It was marvellous! A dog trotting along to heel and there was no pain in my shoulder. Instead of the planned 10 minutes we carried on for over an hour and he was perfectly happy.  Thank you for your help over the phone – you have another very happy customer. I shall be happy to tell others about this – just as I was told by another dog walker.

A brilliant invention!

!

Thank you so much for sending the Dogmatic. It fits perfectly. My ten year old daughter and I have been able to walk our Dobermann independently for the first time! (My husband is thrilled also!) A brilliant invention!

I really thought I had got a new dog...

!

I would like to inform you that the size I ordered fits perfectly. I really thought I had got a new dog. Your Dogmatic is fantastic. I am so glad that there is someone out there that understands what people need for their dogs. I will most certainly recommend your products.

What a splendid name for your gear!

!

What a splendid name for your gear! Many, many thanks for the Headcollar and lead you recently supplied. They have solved my problems with a young, lively and boisterous greyhound. She has taken to the collar very well and it provides me with control without having my arm pulled out of its socket. I had heard that a greyhound was very suitable for an elderly lady – but I allowed myself to be sold a pup who is both an angel and devil, though I love her. Now I can even walk her along a road we both know is inhabited by cats and squirrels, which was something I had to avoid for weeks before the collar arrived. So, once again, many thanks, and I would recommend your collar to anyone with similar problems.

I have noticed that you don't have a feedback page !!!

!
I have noticed that you don't have a feedback page, so I would like to take this opportunity, to give you feedback with regards to the neck and head collars I ordered from you for my 2 Dogue de Bordeaux.  I could not be more pleased with my purchase both dogs are so happy that I am able to take them both out together for long walks, I myself feel more confident due to me having more control. I can now walk them on the pavement with traffic going by, I could only take them on the field before, due to them being nervous near traffic, now with me being more confident they are too. I can now pass other dogs with both of them on my own, which I could not before.  We are all more chilled when we go outdoors now. Thank you once again.

...well, not mine, but Otto’s!

!

I just wanted to say a big thank you for my leather Dogmatic – well, not mine, but Otto’s! It’s a fantastic Headcollar that does everything it promises and I wouldn’t be without one now. I have recommended it to a friend who is also very pleased. Your service is excellent too!

Warmest Greetings All at Dogmatic ,
                                                           Just wanted to say how wonderful the Dogmatic is ,I can now enjoy lovely long walks with my mals and sibes due to your wonder lead and head collar, after being involved in a series of road accidents I was rendered bed ridden for over 18mths and incapacitated for a further 2yrs , as my mals and sibes grew so did their strength and walking my one girl had become a nightmare , I really dreaded the thought of taking her out as she pulled like a freight train but when you actually stopped and watched her she was hardly pulling at all but given the breed she was doing what came naturally to her, our walks had become irate and frustrating her pulling often aggravated my back injury and it got to the point only my other half could actually walk her and sometimes he became frustrated at times with her pulling .Thanks to your wonderful Dogmatic our walks with our girl are now most relaxed and I actually look forward to our walks and our time out together.


After getting a male malamute the  Dogmatic lead and collar has proved to be a real god send in his obedience training especially through his teenage stages as he would use his brute strength to pull and drag me about when he was having a defiant stage , often I would feel like I’d gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson after an hour’s training then I wouldn’t be able to train the next week as my back would hurt so much, with Dogmatic I’m always in control at training and me and my boy have come on with his training in leaps and bounds and he now loves his training nights and so do I .

Lastly my Dogmatic has helped me solve a dog on dog aggression problem with one of girls, after she was attacked while at a market by 3 pekenese she had decided every dog she saw was the enemy and became embarrassingly vocal when she saw another  dog/s , though I tried not to tighten the leash when I spotted a dog coming when you have a breed of dog like mine you have no choice given they can pull 8 times their own body  weight if I’d have kept her on a loose leash she could have me over in a flash if she decided she really wanted to be confrontational with another dog so my stress and panic was being sent down the lead to her, but now thanks to the Dogmatic I am able to keep the lead lose while having more control than I ever had using only a standard neck type collar, now I’m calmer and I am confident I have full control which transmits to my girl so she is calmer and I’m happy to say she doesn’t have many embarrassing moments any more.

I recommend Dogmatic to all my puppy owners and anyone who contacts me with problems or queries concerning pulling and this includes owners of not only, malamutes and sibes but northern inuits and huskamutes,  I recently had a doggy day out with about 20 other malamute sibe owners who were amazed by the control and the ease of the Dogmatic and several of them had tried every head halty and harness under the sun sadly with no luck , but they have now purchased Dogmatics and are now blissfully enjoying wonderful calm walks with their furkids .

I am currently working on my new website and Dogmatic will defo be at the top of Sharrs top recommendations for owners of malamutes and sibes ( or any dog with serious pulling or lunging issues for that matter ) and a link to your website will most certainly be added .

Continued success is wished for the future in all your endeavours.

Hello, my name is Sophia and I run my own dog training business ‘On the Scent’ in Great Ashfield, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.   I am a KCAI Member working towards accreditation and also an Associate Member of the PDTE(Pet dog trainers Europe).

We run classes for puppies as soon as they are fully vaccinated up to the veteran dog.  We also hold Beginners/fun agility, gun dog training workshops, home visits and private lessons.  All training is held outdoors at our 10 acre site all the year round and feel very blessed to have clients who travel from Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk, London as well as my home county of Suffolk.

 

Before we go any further I have to say I am not a huge fan of gadgets, however, they do have their place in dog training and none more so than the ‘Dogmatic’ head collar which was introduced to me via a client who also happens to be a dog training instructor.

 I suffer with back problems and although walking three or four dogs at a time is fine, when one of the younger ones sees a friendly face and gets excited, then my back suffers.  My client mentioned during a class one day that she had back problems and had invested in the Dogmatic head collar which she wanted to use in class.  I was hesitant to allow it at first but then after seeing it in action I was rather impressed with it, the way it fitted and the instant result of no pulling from her dog that I borrowed it for mine!! I have found that regardless of the breed or cross breed the Dogmatic Head collar so far, fits perfectly and doesn’t ride up like some of the other brands on the market.  They also seem to have a calming affect on the dogs, especially those who suffer from dog on dog aggression.  They work along side the training programme NOT instead of the training programme.

Zoe’s Mother Susan designed the product due to not being able to help walk the dogs due to having had four back operations and a neck operation. In the time we have been using them the service has been fantastic and all the staff know the products and should one not fit correctly they are more than happy to change it.  All my clients who have invested in this product have all been delighted and I certainly have no hesitation in recommending them.  (With some strong willed dogs they may need to be introduced over a period of a few days before setting out on a walk).

 

The Dogmatic Headcollar can be used permanently if wished. As many dogs are, unfortunately, not trained to heel or their owners have disabilities, the Headcollar is ideal to have kind, gentle control of your dog. It is also ideal for strong willed or aggressive dogs and using the Dogmatic gives control and peace of mind. This is far kinder than using neck correction with check chains which can do so much damage through being incorrectly fitted and incorrectly used.
