My dog Maggie loves to pull. I tried every type of collar possible including the head collars....she hated them and I thought she looked silly. Finally, I found a prong-type pinch collar. I ordered mine on line and it really works.
Leerburg | Prong Collars and Fur Saver Collars They look awful--like a torture device but I have seen such an improvement in Maggie's ability to walk without pulling. I live in Atlanta and heard the Atlanta Dog Whisperer speak recently. She also recommends these collars. It just seems to offer you greater control. Good Luck
I know how important walking your dog is! I do it every day!
