ABOUT PETWISE
Designed From Experience. Built With Purpose.
PetWise Products began with a simple goal - create a better training tool for dogs and the people who love them.
Founder Liz Bucalo spent years fostering rescue dogs and working with dogs of every size, breed, and temperament. During that time, she saw firsthand the limitations of traditional head halters. Many were uncomfortable, difficult to fit properly, or simply didn't provide the gentle control handlers were looking for.
Determined to create something better, Liz developed the Not So Fast Rover® Head Halter - a lightweight, comfortable, and effective training solution designed to work with your dog, not against them.
Today, PetWise Products proudly serves professional trainers, Guide Dog Schools, Service Dog organizations, rescue groups, and dog owners across North America with products built around one philosophy:
Training should always be humane, effective, and comfortable.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Meet Liz Bucalo
Every PetWise product began with one simple question:
"How can we make training easier for both dogs and their people?"
After fostering hundreds of rescue dogs, Liz Bucalo saw firsthand that many existing training tools relied on discomfort instead of communication. She believed there had to be a better way.
That belief led to the creation of the Not So Fast Rover® Head Halter - a product designed to provide gentle guidance while allowing dogs to remain comfortable, confident, and happy during training.
More than 17 years later, PetWise Products continues to help professional trainers, Guide Dog Schools, Service Dog organizations, and families across the country build stronger relationships with their dogs through humane training solutions.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Loved by Dogs. Trusted by Their People.
For over 17 years, PetWise Products has helped thousands of dogs and their owners enjoy calmer, more enjoyable walks.
We have a lovely wheaten 7 month old puppy. Charlie really loves people and other dogs- even when it’s not the right time to wheaten greetin them. Our trainer recommended this leash to help control his lunging and pulling. I got it and acclimated him to it with treats and praise. We went on our first walk today and- WOW! It was a game changer! I immediately posted to social media for my friends. Buy it- I swear it’ll change your life.

These are the ONLY leashes we use! Far superior to the gentle leader, they are soft and strong, no additional attachment devices needed, and my dogs prefer them. Perfect for training pups as well as adult dogs. I am on my 5th and 6th leash simply because I like to have a few spares. Don't waste your time on sub par imposters; these are simply the best!

I have the head halter as well as the leash halter combo. I like them both. My pup was not a fan of head halter I was previously using and she works really well with this one. I highly recommend this. It much more comfortable looking than the other brand I’ve used. She doesn’t try to rub off the halter from her face.

Loving the Not So Fast Rover head halter. Once used to it, our pups walk calmly at a good pace and pay attention to us, not everything else. It’s an excellent training tool and we have several to swap out for washing.
Karen B
As a guide dog puppy raiser, this is the #1 tool and key to success! It consistently works for all my GSD puppies, with varying temperaments and challenges. And it’s so convenient and flexible! I can easily slip it off the nose for “relax” time under a restaurant table or at a concert. I buy them in bulk!
