It isn't for every dog, but I found the "gentle leader" style to be a good way to stop a dog from pulling. I tried one for my last dog though and she thought she was being punished for something. I finally started using the "pinch" style collar which worked out well. She would get excited when I picked it up because the only time I used it was when going out in public, and she loved people.

Of course I could only clip onto to the collars the neighbor had on those Malamutes when returning them but they could drag my 180 lb carcass around like a rag doll if they wanted.

My shepherd only pulls with the vet techs. I'm thinking she's had enough and is ready to get back to dad.
we do have a pinch collar that my wife and mom both use on her when walking her. I got a lot more booty then they do, so I can set me heal and give her a correction with the regular collar and she will straighten right out.

^^^ I got no booty, just old mans butt these days. High school weight +/- a couple lbs.

I"m learning to respect that second pic... one day I opened the door and Ruger jumped right over a skunk which was on the doorstep for some reason. Luckily for me, he never saw it.
The first is too true, also. :thumbsup:
Like my last dog, he get's excited when going to the vet. He loves attention and they love him so he get's it there in spades. I never have figured out how he knows, but can be sound asleep in the back seat yet when we turn the last corner, 1/2 mile from the vet's office he's up and excited. Again, my last dog acted the same way.

This one does not particularly like fireworks, so the New Years celebrations going on now are a little stressful. Needing some reassurance here that everything will be okay.
