I know a lot of trainers and such don't like the Gentle Leader (halti), but I think it's really great...I've used it with all of mine and it's the only way that I have kept total control of them while walking...I know you said Beckham has issues with nylon, perhaps you could take a bit of soft cotton and stitch it to the under side of the part that goes across the nose? I know the ones that I bought when I was in Ireland had this great padding inside, to keep from rubbing so much....Check around online at pet places and I'll ask someone I knw and see if we can find something you could use....
