A great device that helps control dogs that lunge and pull.
Well, it took me longer than expected to post this but here is some ideas for dealing with dogs that are hard to control when walking. While you are working to better train your dog, here is a product that really helps keep your dog from lunging and pulling when being walked.
Try a Gentle Leader! For around $15 and available at most major pet stores, this simple device really helps. I tried it on my sisters Basset and it work marvelously! She was like a different dog entirely. Of course she didn't like it at first and keep trying to scratch it off but after only a short distance, she decided it wasn't all that bad.
Not only did it keep her from going "gun-ho" out of the front door, it made it much easier to control her whenever there was an encounter with other dogs or people.
Combined with the included tips, this devise is a great training tool. I highly recommend it for dogs of any size.
